WALT make sets

Today in our class we all used the iPads to show that we could read numbers and count 1:1. Some of us worked with a buddy so we could help each other. We had to read the number, count the counters, then take a photo and insert on our work using the app "Explain Everything."
Here are some pictures of us doing our work and a few images to show what we can do!

 Look at how clever we are! We love using the iPads for our learning becuase we love taking photos!

Stars of the week!

Congratulations to Punua and Zion for receiving the star of the week awards! They have been trying hard in their learning and making good choices.

Niuean language week!

This week has been Niuean language week. We made some flags and learnt a few simple greetings. This is a way you can say hello to your friends. It is a pretty long greeting and we had to practise lots to remember it!

Drop, cover, hold!

On Thursday it the National Shake out day and lots of people around New Zealand did an earthquake drill, which is a practise. A sound came over the speakers and we had to get under a table and hold on. We had to cover our head because we have to look after our brains.

Here is some of the writing we did today. We put in some pictures of us under the tables to show what we did when we did the earthquake drill.

Fun Friday

Today Jairus chose to do our basic sight word puzzle. He was able to match and read all the words! He is now going to start learning his blue words at home. Ka pai Jairus!

Making rockets!

This term the whole school is focussing on space and the Kia Kaha team is specifically looking at seasons.
On Monday the whole school watched the movie Home which is about an alien. 
Here is some of our writing that we did about the movie Home.

Then we made rockets and had a competition in our team to see whose rocket could go the furthest.

 We made our rockets using a straw, paper and a stapler. Then we had a little competition in the classroom and talked about ways to make our rockets go the furthest. 

 In the afternoon we met up with Room 1 and 3 and had a competition to see whose rocket would the furthest. It was pretty windy so our rockets flew pretty far!

We had lots of fun and are now looking forward to learning about the seasons!
