Week 1 Term 3

We have had an amazing week! Wonderful to see those computer whizzes using the blog homework. I know you have had to help Mum and Dad too! We are all learning together.

Numeracy: Fractions
This week was an introduction week to Fractions. Finding out what we know and what we can learn more about. We have had a good look through the 'SkillWise' learning sites. Some were too difficult but it was fun seeing what they were about.

It has been impressive how well you have all developed your skills using the computers and the camera. I am going to give you access to the blog so you can add your own postings. We will practise in class and you will have to teach you Mum's and Dad's at home. We will do this Monday afternoon at 1.30 if any Mum's and Dad's want to come in and learn too!
Remember to think about our THINKING Key Competancy: "I know when I am thinking when I think about what to put onto the classroom blog." You can share your news or a project you have made!

Talking Books
In reading this term we will be making Talking Books. We are learning to speak clearly with a clear voice and to think about the audience. When we make a Talking Book we think about the punctuation, speaking clearly and stopping at the end of each page so the reader has time to turn the page. Watch the blog and you will see our Talking Books soon!

Movie
This week we have been making a movie in writing time. We have had to work together in teams and are making a storyboard that will be made into our movie. Watch this space!

Kia Kaha
Mrs Menzies started this unit with us this week. We have looked at differences and similarities we each have and made a Y chart about what is bullying. Next week we will have the Police Education Officer visit at 9.05 on Tuesday, 28 July. Also 9.05 Tuesday week 4. Thank you for returning the forms. I see many of you would like to attend the lessons. Mrs Menzies is taking the lessons Thursday afternoons at 1.30. If you have any questions about this unit please do not hesitate to ask. It will run all term and it is schoolwide.

Have a great weekend :)
