Assembly 21.8.15

This morning we had a brilliant assembly. Autahi shared some great lighthouse art. Tautoru shared some writing about the community they also shared a song about a doughnut shop. Matariki and Mahutonga shared some poems. We sang a new song called Budapest. Hamish had a huge pile of awards to give out! The focus has been on using Maanakitanga.

Reading and Writing



During our reading group time we are learning to recognise our high frequency words. Today some of us even really enjoyed writing whole sentences from our book. We were very pleased with our perseverance. 

"Here is my house," said the owl.

Rockets take off

In Maths many of us are counting backwards from 20 whilst others are counting backwards from 10. We are checking how we form numerals (number identification) and thinking about the number before (sequencing/number order).

We have had fun doing our rocket pictures...

Developing Tennis Skills

Students in action...

Bouncing and catching a tennis ball (to themselves), balancing a tennis ball on a tennis racquet and hitting a tennis ball in the air (to themselves).  Concentration was evident as well as a lot of fun.

Well done Autahi!
