Week 6

In action stations this week we are practicing a dance routine, focusing on different levels (high, medium and low) and locomotor (moving around) and non-locomotor (on the spot) movements. We are also focusing on being a good audience and giving constructive feedback. 

Week 5

We are all very excited about our production this year! We have looked at some videos which have the music we are dancing to. Rata are doing a dance based on the 1980's and Miro are doing a dance based on the 1960's. We will be starting to learn the moves for these this week so watch out for some amazing dancing at your house. 

We are continuing to practise our length measuring skills. We know that it is important to use the same unit to measure different objects. 

We have sent our letters to Mrs Watt and hope that she really enjoys reading them.

Week Three

We write everyday and use lots of different spaces. This week we are writing to Mrs Watt so that she can keep up with all the Rawe news. We continue with our origami fractions but this week we are making airplanes. The class is getting very good at folding tiny pieces of paper! We are looking at ways we can participate by doing the right thing at the right time and we contribute to the class by making it easier for others to work and learn. 

I have noticed that some children are bringing toys to school. This is fine on a Friday as we share our news then but during the week the toys can be distracting. 

Fraction Frogs

We are proud of all the frogs we made

Week Three

This week we are lucky to have Miss Paula Stewart who is working in Rawe while Mrs Watt is having a challenging time at Outward Bound. We are continuing to work on our fractions and we have been making full, half, quarter, eighth and one sixteenth size origami frogs. They have been quite tricky to make and we have had to use persistence to be successful.
