We have been measuring the area of our feet.

Week 6

What an exciting week we are having this week. We had Alli McKenzie come and watch a PE session on Monday. Several children went to Polyfest on Tuesday to perform kapa haka and they had a great time and did a wonderful performance. We have been practising our class dances ready for another session with the choreographer on Friday. So it's all go!
The children have been enrolled for a programme called Reading Eggs for a trail period of 4 weeks. They are able to use this at home too. They have a copy of their passwords in their homework books so feel free to make the most of this limited time resource.
As we get closer to performing in the school production our times for assessments will be changing. We are now going to be doing flash card and spelling testing at flexible times within the changing timetable. So a very big THANK YOU to all the wonderful parent helpers who have generously given up their time on a Friday to help with our homework testing. Your help has really been appreciated.

Measuring with a metre ruler

We have been learning to use metre rulers.

This display is longer than a metre.

Finding out about volume

We are learning how to find the volume and compare the volume of two objects. We are measuring to see how many scoops of sand fit into a container.

Congratulations!

This weeks Rata certificates went to Mitchell 

And Hailey. Well done!

Rafferty received a certificate for his great attitude to his work.

Emily passed two maths flash card sets in one day!

Is it a fish?

We have been learning about the features of a fish. The children went on to sort sea creatures into two sets based on wether the creatures had the attributes of a fish or not. Madeleine said hers was not a fish because it didn't have gills to breathe under water.
