At the start of the term our class set goals.

We have to choose a Maths, Literacy and personal goal.

My personal goal is to be resilient

- I can withstand difficulties or problems

- I can recover quickly from setbacks.  

My literacy goal is ideas + linking  

-I can link my new learning to my prior knowledge  

-I know that reading and writing go together

-I can find the big ideas/ authors

-I can elaborate on my ideas in writing.

My maths goal is Basic Facts

-I know that number knowledge and basic facts are a strong foundation

- I can instantly recall basic facts

-I know my times tables up to 9 times 9

-I know number groupings and patterns.

                                                             

Letter Writing

Blog writing

A few weeks ago our class have wrote letters from anzac in Gallipoli.

We had to put ourselves into other people's shoes
and describe what it's like to be soldiers in Gallipoli and fighting in the war.

We also made little poppies out of tissue paper and hang them on the wall.   

Clay Art

Clay Art 
A few weeks ago our class made clay art. The designs and shapes had to be Kiwiana related. 

My design is about my family 
the little kuros are me my sisters and brothers and the two big kuros are my parents. 

I started off with a flat piece of clay  then added more clay and shaped it into kuros. when I was finished I wet my hands with a little bit of water and carefully smoothed it out and put some little designs on the  two big kuros. 

When we were done we let them day for a couple of days and then hung them on the wall. 

Matarkiki

          This week i have been learning facts about Matariki, so                               here is one fact that i would like to share.
