Handwriting on Thursday!

While a group worked with Mrs Tizzard in Room 1, the rest of the Tamariki were able to use the chalk outside and play dough inside to practise their letter formation. Here are some pictures of their work.

We had fun with Pete today learning all about accurately rolling a ball. We played 2 different games with a partner. Both games involved accurately rolling the ball to gain points. 

Zivan and his amazing handwriting!!!

We are all so proud of Zivan's beautiful handwriting today! He tried really hard to form his letters correctly and sit his letters on the line. Kei te pai te mahi Zivan :)  

Vv is for volcano

This week we are learning the letter Vv!  We made a volcano on Monday using baking soda and vinegar. We put food colouring in the volcano to make it colourful! 

The children have been using exciting words in their writing this week to describe what the volcano looked like. We used words like: 

Bubbling

Exploded 

Foam

Colourful 

Eruption 

Come in and see our published writing on the wall! He whakakake ratou!

We are learning to identify the number of sides on a shape

We played a game called shapes dominoes. We had to join the sides of shapes together to make the biggest puzzle. We tried to join sides of a similar size together. Our Tamariki worked well together, sharing and taking turns to put the shapes down. 

We are learning to recognise shapes!

In Maths this term we are learning all about shapes. We played a game with Miss Collins called feely bag. She chose a shape to put in the bag and described it to us, we then guessed the shape in the bag.

Porritt House treat for being the term winners.
