Welcome to Term 4

We have enjoyed our first week of Term 4. We did lots of online learning and even had Reading and Math workshops! Some of us sent photos of our learning to share with everyone. Check them out below.

Uasi has been practising Phonics. Uasi would listen for a word. He would break the word up into chunks of sound and then write those letter sounds into his book. Fantastic stuff Uasi!

Junior shared his Challenge Tuesday activity. The task on Tuesday was to construct a self-portrait using materials from home. Junior cleverly used fruit, vegetables and a table to make his self-portrait. Very creative Junior, excellent job!

This week, we started learning about the Seasons for our Inquiry topic. AJ spent Friday morning writing a story about a Summer beach trip. Thanks for your mahi AJ!

Genius Hour

 Maths is easy when you're catching fish!

Pili is an absolute star 🌟⭐  During the Level 4 lockdown, he has worked hard to learn his times tables. Pili CRUSHED his independent maths activity and his maths skills, like his fishing skills, are absolutely amazing. Check out the video below. 

Ka rawe Pili! Thank you for sharing your mahi with us. 😁

Online Learning

Learning from home

Tāmaki Makaurau might be operating at Alert Level whā, but rūma toru is not slowing down with our mahi!  

Ana (rūma toru) and her sister Alayna (rūma rua) are thinking about Maths. Their awesome mum helped them make the learning activities you see below. Ana and Alayna have to match the number with the word, and then place those numbers in the right order. Tino pai rawa atu! 

 

Not only are they Maths wizards, but they are also experts in Phonics. They are reading words, making the initial letter sound and matching it with the correct letter of the alphabet. Ka wani kē!

As if that wasn't cool enough, the superstar John Nelson is back to share some more work he's been doing at home. John Nelson has been practicing writing words in his book. He focused really hard on forming his letters correctly, even spacing and spelling the words correctly. Ka rawe John Nelson!

Let's count to 100!

 Online Learning during Level 4

Room 3 might all be learning from home but we are still doing awesome mahi! This is a picture of John Nelson's maths book. He has been learning his numbers to 100! 

Before lockdown, Room 3 would start our mathematics learning by singing this awesome song. John Nelson is continuing this learning at home. Thank you for sharing your mahi John Nelson. You are a counting superstar! 

Statistical Investigation

This week, we began learning about Statistical Investigations. Yesterday, we found out the most popular colour in Room 3. Today, our investigations were focused on our favourite foods. 

Take a look at our results!

Matariki Stars

Check out our diamond Matariki stars! Acacia, Kahlani and AJ are holding their awesome stars made from shapes. Can you see the shapes we used to make ours stars? At Tāmaki Primary School we are looking forward to celebrating Matariki by colouring pictures and learning Te Reo Māori. We love stars because it's nice and bright in the night sky.

Kahlani, Acacia and AJ shining bright like stars!
