Māori

We are learning to count in Māori and ask and answer a sentence about how many objects/people there are. 

Ezra was able to write the sentence to answer how many animals there were in each picture.

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!
