Wharenui Update

Today our portraits went up. Some of us are in the matapihi (window), some are in the tatou (door) and some are going to be in the waharoa (gate).

Fantastic Five Learn to Strive

Today we made our banner for the front of the class. AWESOME!

Wharenui

Our class wharenui is going ahead very well. Here are the photo's so far. We are learning each part and what it represents.... not perfect but a really good effort. My computer has mirrored the planning picture at the end though the labelling is clear. Tino pai nga tamariki o ruma rima.

Parent Interviews

What a fabulous response to our parent interview request. I was able to offer positive comments about all of fantastic five. There are 3 parents yet to come in so please make an appointment with Suzie at the office.

This is an example of the portrait artwork we have done at school in art.

Pikelets

First of all we need to thank Dianne for taking groups to the canteen. We are learning to follow instructions accurately. The first pikelets were amazing, golden and delicious! The trick was Mrs. Gibbs then had us write a retell of what we had done from memory. Not so hard you say? It is if we then have to cook pikelets from one of our retells!
Luckily Kezia had written a pretty good one, so we tested it out. The photo's below show our efforts and us writing in the hall.

End of the Year

Dear blog readers,

It is the end of a really busy year. The students of room five have consistently worked to achieve learning goals. We shared a wonderful lunch on Tuesday out under the elm tree. One of the highlights for me in the last term was the teacher vs student touch game.
Sadly we can't share any of our trip photographs because Mrs Heaps' computer died. :-(

I really hope you all enjoy your break, spending time with your families and enjoying the great Dannevirke weather!                      
From Mrs Gibbs

P.S. One last teacher tip- find some games that involve maths and words so you keep practicing and learning in a fun way.
