New Maths Goal

I have a new goal. I am learning to count backwards from 20.

Student Led Conferences

Alba is showing her family that she is ready to move on to a new maths goal.

Author's Chair 2

Alba was working really hard during Write to Self time.  
She was using her word card to help her find words.
You are a great author, Alba!

An Alien

This is my alien. 
The marbles and the toothpaste lids are the hair on my alien. The skin is very smooth and cold and made out of stones. My alien has two short pink legs. It also has spikes on her sides. She lives on a planet somewhere called planet Bong. This alien has come to visit me. I am going to play games with my alien. When we have finished playing my alien will go back home to her planet.

Six Layer Cake

Alba has been persevering on her writing goal, which is to record the initial sounds of words. Today at library time, we read a story about a wolf who wanted to make Chicken Stew. The wolf baked lots of yummy food for the chicken to fatten it up. We wondered what delicious recipes we would bake if we were the wolf. In our workshop, we decided on a recipe we would cook if we were the wolf. This is Alba's recipe for Six Layer Cake.  It has strawberries, butter and flour in it. Look at all those beginning sounds Alba has written down. Great work!

Author's Chair 1

Alba has been really focused during Write to Self time. She has been copying out sentences from books that are in her learning box. She is even putting in the punctuation as well! You are a great author Alba!

Patterns At Home

I made these patterns. I did dress patterns and I skipped numbers and I did coloured flowers in a pattern. I also did house patterns. We learned about patterns at Friday Surprise day and I tried it at home.

Achieving My Writing Goal

Alba has been persisting on her Writing Goal of using resources to find words. "I can use my word card to help me find letters and words. I can find words like on, is, the, and, like." " And I can use my alphabet card to help me find letters like a for snake." This is Alba's new goal. She is going to listen to and record the initial sounds of words. Fantastic goal setting Alba! 

My Story About Rapunzel

"I wrote a story about a princess and when I wrote it I used my word card to find words. That is my writing goal."

Making A Sign

"My sign says open and closed. It was easy to make the letters."
Using words around the classroom Alba was able to make the letters from playdough.  Many of the other children came over to Alba's playdough words and asked her what they said.

Mystery Hero

Today Alba was the mystery hero. She was a fabulous class member and helped others to pack up before morning tea. Alba was also very brave and stood in front of the school at our Whakangahau. Super Hero work Alba!

My Puppet

Here is a picture of Alba and her puppet, Riley. Te Kakano made puppets for Friday Surprise Day and our Whakangahau. We had to think about all the parts our puppets would need. We also had to show persistence to make sure the parts stayed on and looked how we planned it. 

 "It was hard to get to stick the hair on because it kept getting in the way while I was trying to glue it on. I kept trying and then it didn't get in my way. I used little pom-poms for decoration for a dress. I used hair to make his nose. I put on a love heart to make the jacket."

Making Rosie

 In class we made a pretend picnic for the teddy bears. So I decided to make a teddy bear out of play dough. I used lots of play dough. I decorated her with bows. Her name is Rosie.
