Writing Week 5 Term 3 2021 Mini beasts

 Another thing we did for writing this week was a mini beast observation. First, you had to go out into your backyard and find a mini beast, then you had to bring it inside and dscribe it. I chose to describe an ant.

Here is my work.

Insect Art

 Because we were using ‘Insects’ as a topic this week for reading and writing we created some works of art based on insects also. We had to make them out of any materials we could find at home. I chose to use a frozen pizza box,

Here is a photo of my creation:  

Maths Week 5 Term 3 2021 Expanded numerals

 This week one thing we have been  learning in maths is how to write expanded numbers. Another way of saying this is ‘expanded form’ or ‘expanded notation’. They all mean the same thing. It’s like you have to break the numbers up into their place value parts and then put + symbols in between them. Example: 

7239 =7000+200+30+9.

Here is my work.

PMC Week 3 Term 3 2021

 In Week 3 of Term 3, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation.  This week Mrs Craig Read the book: The smartest Giant in Town by Julia Donaldson.

  It was about being kind.

 I chose to make a build a way for dog to cross the squelchy bog that the giant hadn’t thought of with my friend Zavier.

Here is our work.

Matariki Reading Term 2 2021

 In Week 8,  our reading activities were based on Matariki.

Book Character Parade. We dressed up in costumes like book characters and then we went

on a parade through the Daycare Centre next to the school, past the shops in the village,

along Hobson St and back upTennyson St to the school. We also made a letter to Mrs c.

 I chose to dress up as a backwords guy
