Measuring Fun

We were learning to compare similar objects that differ only in length. We were experimenting  with learning to measure with non-standard units.  We were learning to have an accurate starting and finishing point when we measure and use measuring language. 

"It is important to count carefully. I think measuring is a bit easy."

Phonics Time

Phonics lessons are a very important part of our Writing programme.

As I get more confident I try tricker things. In this photo I listened to a dictated sentence and then tried to write down what I heard and put in the correct punctuation. 

"I have to remember to always  do fullstops and capital letters and finger spaces. I am doing very well at this."

Rocket ship

We have been learning about the solar system this term.  We made a rocket with paper and a straw then blew through the straw to see how far our rocket would travel.  

Contractions

I am learning to recognise contractions. I know that contractions have apostrophes to replace missing letters.

" A contraction is two words joined together and one or two or three pop out and a mark is left to say that the letters are not there."  said Hadi

Owl Babies

We are learning to publish our writing for an audience, because we are authors. In Room 3 we try to present our work in many different and interesting ways to encourage people to come and read our fabulous stories!

" I can use wow words so my story is great" said Hadi.

Matariki

Our classroom celebrated Matariki, which is the Maori New Year. We came to school in our pyjamas and had a yummy breakfast together! It is great to share time with our whanau.

"I was a bit late, but i could still have my breakfast. It was fun to do!"
