AT THE MARAE

On Tuesday room 2 and our buddy class Poutokomanawa, along with room 8 and 14 visited Te Ahu A Turanga Marae in Woodwille.  A fantastic time was had by all.   

Here are some photos from our day ...

WRITING

In room 2 we have been doing interactive writing.  Fiona writes and we write too.  We have been learning to use fast words around the room to help us record our ideas.  We are also learning to leave finger spaces between our words, so that we can share our stories with others. 

Fiona is impressed, as we try our best.  This our first Tohora nui whale.  

And here is our writing ...

TOHORA NUI SINGING

Every Friday Tohora nui sing together.  You can find our favourite songs on our blog.  Just click the 'our songs' tab at the top of our posts.

We love singing ...

WRITING

Today we started our peer writing programme in room 2.  Children learn so much when they are learning from each other.  

Look at these learners supporting each other.

BUDDY READING

We are learning all our routines.  Today we squeezed in buddy reading before swimming, while drinking our milk.  Fiona was impressed!  

MUSIC

Today we had our first music lesson with Jenny.  Music is always a highlight.
