Term+1

Term 1

B4 has had a busy Term 1. During Weeks 2 and 3 we went to Wharenui Pool for swimming lessons. We have also had hot dog days, sausage sizzles, mufti and a School Fair.

So what have we been learning?

Reading - We are learning to not point to the words, make sure our reading makes sense and to make our reading sound like talking. Phonics - We are learning what sounds the letters of the alphabet make. Writing - We are writing recounts about what we have been doing. We are learning to plan our stories, write lots of words correctly, sound out the words we don't know and to make sure what we write makes sense. Maths - We are learning to count backwards (from 10 and from 24), to add numbers to 10 and to identify and describe 2d shapes. P.E - We are learning to play outdoor games and to do Gymnastics. Topic - (Social Studies, Health, Music, Drama, Te Reo, Art) We are learning about ourselves and our families, in particular learning about roles and responsibilites of family members and members of groups such as our class. We have drawn pictures of ourselves and our parents, role played being various family members, made a song about Mum and discovered how to make musical instruments out of everyday classroom objects. We are also learning how to name family members in Te Reo.
