A snapshot of what is happening at the school.

Year 1- Getting ready for cross country

In math we have been doing graphs. We have been learning about similarities and differences. We have also been learning greetings and farewells in Te Reo. We have been learning about different letters and the sounds they make. We have been doing lots of running to practice for the cross country.

Year 2- Teach me about graphs

We have been busy creating graphs this week and sharing their new learning with their friends in the class. We have been learning how to spell words to put in our writing.  Also, we have been talking about how we can show respect in the playground. It is important to show our SMARTs in class and when we play.

This week they have also been painting sunflowers and were inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's work. We have also been drawing dragons and writing descriptions about them.

Year 5- Amazing writing

This week we have been writing about Charlie and Chocolate Factory. We had to use different adjectives to describe what we could see in the inventing room. We also wrote about an ice sculpture and how it would change over time. We have been enjoying the different topics and using our imagination and creativity.
