#getnzwriting

This term we have been involved in #getnzwriting . The children had fun learning about metaphors and similes. We are swapping our postcards with Holy Family School in Porirua. We wrote metaphors to describe ourselves on our cards. 

Puppet Pal Movies - our first effort

We are learning to make puppet pal movies using our own characters.

Here's one our first attempt

Peteseta's Discovery

When I got here  I saw jam and peanut butter and butter and plates and it looked like a cafe. I was one of the  bakers. Abhi and Junior was the bakers too so was Sarah. We were  baking four breads each in the toaster and we had some milk. Some of the class was playing with toys. It made me happy. I was siting next to  John and Hainite.

Learning to Learn

Room 7 & 8 have a Learning to Learn programme that runs Monday to Thursday. We are focusing on talking to each other and using our manners. Come back soon to read some of the children's reflective writing from our Thursday Breakfast Cafe! Here are some photos of the session...

Acacia's writing

The Earth is a pretty place but it's full of  bad things and still has a  good galaxy color and the stars are  as  bright like  fire works  I wonder what  is in space but I  still wouldn't go to space it would be scary   in space.

Room 7 and 8 are working on following instructions and teamwork. This calls for some marching drills. This is level one achieved! Well done team, only the second time practicing!
