Maths - Position and Orientation

We are learning to:

• describe where objects are using the language of position
• give and follow instructions using the language of position and direction
• show a quarter turn and a half turn in a number of situations 
  
  

We sat with a buddy, back- to-back and took turns at

giving instructions about the position to put different

coloured blocks in.

We then looked at each others blocks to see if we had

followed or given the positional instructions correctly

and our block patterns looked the same.

Te Reo Maori

We are learning to introduce ourselves and communicate about ourselves, our whānau, our school and where we live through reciting our pepeha.

Science - Floating and Sinking

Paigan, chose an object from the classroom.

She then

• asked the question; will it sink or will it float?
• made a hypothesis stating what she thought would happen
• tested her hypothesis by placing her object in the water
• observed what happened and reflected on her hypothesis
  
  
  

Reading - Term 1

Paigan is able to discuss the story she has read and she can read some high frequency words.

Writing - Term 1

 

Paigan is able to discuss her picture and then independently write a sentence or two.

Values and beliefs

We shared with our buddy the things that we like and they shared

what they like. We found we had some things in common and some

differences. This discussion helped us to learn how to "connect" with others in our school.
