Visual Art

We looked at Koru patterns in picture books and in kowhaiwhai patterns. We then practiced drawing korus ourselves.

Absent for art gallery sample and glitter artwork sample

Social Science

We wrote about who is in our family, what we like to do with our family, what our family likes to eat, a family celebration and family jobs and chores. We created a poster with our writing and then we drew a picture of our family.We learnt about ourselves and we are really proud of the quality poster we created.

Maths Strategy - Term 3

Ezra is able to add 2 digit numbers by using place value and known facts to add the groups of tens and groups of ones. 

Ezra's next learning step is to use number properties rather than drawing the tens and ones.

Reading - Term 3

Ezra is reading at Turquoise level 18

Ezra is learning to identify differences between different types of texts (fiction and nonfiction). He is also learning to recall facts from nonfiction texts.

Writing - Term 3

Ezra is learning to correctly write word endings. His next learning step is to add adjectives and "wow" words to his writing so his stories are exciting for the reader.

Ezra, I enjoyed hearing you read your story about playing games with your sneaky brother.

Play Based Learning

Ezra, it's great to see you playing games with others and showing good sportsmanship during Discovery Time!

 

Maths - Time

We have been learning to:

• sequence events within a day

• order the days of the week
• order the months in a year
• describe a duration as long or short ­
• ­name and ­directly compare the duration of two events
• ­­tell the time to the hour and half hour using analogue clocks

Before we talked about clock features, we all drew clocks using our prior knowledge.

Ezra, your next learning step is to correctly position the numbers 1 to 12 on a clock face so that the numbers are all facing the right way.
