What Makes a Good Leader

Today we were practising being a good leader. A good leader makes sure all the group can participate in the moves when we are doing P.E.

Golden Chair Sharing

Taine is sharing his writing to the rest of the writing group. We do this to get feedback and so we can steal ideas for our own writing.

Working Together

We have been working in groups to make beautiful pictures. First we sketched in pencil, then we got feedback and made a change to improve our picture. After that we used crayons to colour it in and lastly we chose a variety of dye colours to finish our pictures off. They look very colourful.

Week 9

Welcome to the last full week of the term! A big thank you to all the parents and whanau who came along to support Miro on Friday when they took their assembly. The children always appreciate seeing you in the audience. This will be the last week for both spelling and Maths flash card homework as next week is so short. We are continuing with position and orientation in our Maths Action Stations. The children are very excited about making maps for each other to follow so that their friends can find the 'treasure'. We will be sending home a bag of reading books for some children to read in the holidays, if you don't want any sent home please let us know by Thursday. Some children will not be getting any books from school as they can read library books that will interest them. Enjoy your last full child free week so you can get all your shopping done!

A visit from Mr McKenzie

We were lucky enough to have Hamish's dad come and talk about the medals he has and the medal he has just been awarded for serving 21 years in the police force. Thanks for visiting Sergeant McKenzie.

Working Together

We are improving our group work by working cooperatively to complete a picture. When we have finished our pencil sketch we will ask for feedback so that we improve our work.

Week 8

Welcome to the 2nd last full week of the term! This week we have been working in groups to produce a picture together. This allows the children plenty of opportunities to practise the skills they have been learning such as how to solve problems and come to solutions that keep everyone happy.
In Maths this week we are working on using skip counting and multiplication to solve problems. The children have been working hard learning their basic facts and they are all make great progress, so well done for encouraging and helping them to pass these.
Miro is taking assembly on Friday so please come along as it will be the last assembly we will take this year.
Have a great week.
