Te Whare Tapa Wha

 This year we have been learning about Te Whare Tapa Wha and how it helps us. We made a slide to show the things we do to help us for each part. We need to keep all parts of our whare strong to be happy, healthy and safe.

Pet Day - Learn Create Share

 Last week we had Pet Day at school.  As part of our reading and writing  we got to get creative to show  what we know about looking after animals.  Here is the work I created.  I worked with Waiahi.  I enjoyed the whole slide.  I think what I created will be useful if we come across a dog fight.

Caving and Glow worms work

 We learned lots when we were on our camp and wanted to share these with Team Maunga before they go on their trip.  For reading and writing we have been busy creating things to help Team Maunga.  Here is my work on caving.  

I worked with Waiahi. The best part was doing facts

I hope you enjoy.

Thank you Letter

A few weeks ago, instead of our camp to Coopers Beach, we went on a day trip to Kawakawa and had a sleepover at school. Our awesome parent helpers came along to supervise us. Here is a letter I wrote to say thank you.

 Last week we visited the Life Education Caravan.  We were learning about Te Whare Tapa Wha and Resilience.  Here is a google draw we made up to help us think and remember what resilience is.

Using a Writing Rubric.

This week in writing we have been looking at recounts and how we can improve our writing.  We started looking at our writing rubrics and understanding how to find what level pieces of writing are.
