The weeks are flying past as we farewell week 8!!
Another great learning week for our Tūī in room 23.
Tuhituhi
We've been learning how we can use a sentence structure by using the picture to help us guess what the sentence might say and by breaking it up and then put it back together. We learnt these were called "cut up stories".
We are getting more and more confident in communicating our ideas and our ability and confidence in communicating in te reo Māori is growing as well. Our picture detail is developing each day which helps when we explain what our picture is trying to say.
Pānui
Our pānui is moving slowly but steadily, keep practicing the arapū Māori each night because we can then use that knowledge to help sound out words during wā pānui.
We can use;
- ngā pikitia (pictures)
- ngā oro timatanga (the beginning sounds)
- ngā pū (letters)
- ngā kupu waiwai (high frequency words)
to help us while we are reading.
We have also been learning beyond the words by;
- thinking about how they characters feel
- predicting what will happen next
- identifying sentence structures and patterns
- where capital letters are found and what a full stop tells us
Pāngarau
Counting to 100 is tough but we are getting better every day. We count forward easily but counting back is tricky.
Kei te ako mātou i ngā tauira me te pānga. Patterns are everywhere and we have been learning to identify the pattern and continue the pattern.
Te mutunga mai o te pai tamariki mā.
The best part of our week was when Ms Nathan announced that Room 23 had the BEST attendance for week 7 out of ALL of the classes at Clendon Park School.
Me mihi ka tiki ki a koutou katoa ngā tamariki me ngā whānau e kaha ana ki te tautoko i ā koutou tamariki kia tae mai ki te kura. Mā tō rātou taenga mai ki te kura ka taea e rātou te ako i ngā mahi katoa o te kura.
Nei rā ngā tamariki o te akomanga 23 e koakoa ana me te kapu taenga ki te kura.
Mauri ora e te whānau.
