To help my learning of basic facts in Math, I have been using Prototec. This is a screenshot of the mahi I did today.
I think I did well today because it only took me two minutes. Next time, I will have a go at Stage 5.
Subordinating Conjunctions
Today we have been learning about the subordinating conjunctions if and when.
These are my examples:
- If the Jenga blocks fall, I will pick them all up as fast as I can.
- When the blocks fall, our game is over.
- When I have finished my blog post, I will share it by publishing it.
- If I finish my blog post, I will have time to create another one.
Being on Time
This week’s value is being on time. I think this is important so other people are not held up or annoyed at you.
On a scale from 1-5, I think I am a 3 because last week, I missed the Leadership Team meeting.
Our Fish Tickets through Digital Dojo
As part of our PB4L programme, we have been using Fish Tickets through ClassDojo.
These points go towards our on-going Fish! Ticket count. This is our Week One end of week totals.
Students need to have ten tickets to go to Fun Friday at the end of the week.
Mau Rākau
Each week we have a group of boys from Takitini and Angitu who have lessons in a class called Mau Rākau. The boys are learning a range of skills used in Māori weaponry, the taiaha. Today, Miss Waho was able to watch them for a bit.
To share their learning, we are planning a performance later in the term.
Our Cultures Cards
This year we created a cultures card. It has our photo, my county’s flag, the national bird of my country and is says my name and where I am from in Te Reo Māori.
Something I learned about my country is…
My next step is to learn more about the languages spoken in my country.
Kia Tau
For our karakia learning this term, we want to be able to say and sing Kia Tau. We couldn’t find a video version of the song version so we made one ourselves.
Sport Development Day
In March, we took part in the Sport development Series day at Kyle Park which was organised by the the team at Sport Canterbury. Members from different sport clubs had games organised that our students moved around and had a go at.
It was a fantastic day and an awesome opportunity for students to try different sports. Here are a few pictures of the group that Miss Waho was with. BMX was a definite favourite.
Easter Scratch Eggs
For Fun Friday, a group of ākonga chose to do some Easter Egg scratch art. We used skewers to scratch of the black paint which revealed some beautiful colours.
Here are a few that are in the process of being created.
Open and Closed Syllables
We have been learning about syllable types.
