Reading Term 3

Skylar is reading at Blue Level 11

She is learning to re-read to correct errors and look for information.

Skylar's next step is to read with fluency and phrasing.

Social Science

We wrote about who is in our family, what we like to do with our family, what our family likes to eat, a family celebration and family jobs and chores. We created a poster with our writing and then we drew a picture of our family.

We learnt about ourselves and we are really proud of the quality poster we created

Music

Music

This term we have been having fun playing on lots of different instruments in the music room. We have learnt how to identify the beat and play along with the music in time using the percussion instruments. We have also been learning how to play some chords on the ukulele. We have practiced singing songs and playing the ukulele at the same time and we persevered even when we found it a bit tricky to begin with. The students are working at the curriculum expectation for music.

Te Reo Māori

We are learning to count in Māori and ask and answer a sentence about how many objects/people there are. 

This is us playing hopscotch and saying the numbers in Māori as we hop.



We took turns saying 2 digit numbers in Māori and making them.

Visual Art - Term 3

We looked at koru and kowhaiwhai patterns in picture books and practiced drawing them.

Then we visited the art gallery and learned more about Māori motifs.  

We created an artwork there by cutting out the shapes we saw and overlapping them.

We were inspired by the work of Reuben Paterson and created our own glitter art.

Discovery Time - Term 3

Skylar enjoys dress ups and playing make believe with her friends.
