Term 4 Writing

Today we wrote about what we did in the school holidays.  Then we looked back at the first story we wrote at Elm Park School.  Look at the difference!

Stephen says:  I can do capital letters and I can write some words by myself.

Adding with 5

This game helps you learn about adding with 5 as part of the number sentence.

Stephen said, "I like doing the blocks and computers and not counting."

Stephen said," I can read the words and I can do the words by myself."

Our Poupou

For one of our art projects we learnt to draw a poupou.  Poupou are traditionally a wooden carved Maori statue.  Poupou tell the stories of the meeting house, the local iwi and the iwi's ancestry.  We sketched our Poupou and then painted them using cotton buds and dye.  We learnt about symmetry and proportion.
