Maths - Position and Orientation

We are learning to:

• describe where objects are using the language of position
• give and follow instructions using the language of position and direction

We sat with a buddy, back- to-back and took turns at 
giving instructions about the position to put different 
coloured blocks in. 

We then looked at each others blocks to see if we had 
followed or given the positional instructions correctly 
and our block patterns looked the same.

We are learning to:

• show a quarter turn and a half turn in a number of 
  situations 
  

Te Reo Maori

We are learning to introduce ourselves and communicate about ourselves, our whānau, our school and where we live through reciting our pepeha.

Science - Floating and Sinking

Briley chose an object from the classroom.

She then

• asked the question; will it sink or will it float?
• made a hypothesis stating what she thought would happen
• tested her hypothesis by placing her object in the water
• observed what happened and reflected on her hypothesis
  

Reading Term 1

Briley is learning to retell a story, she has read, in sequence.  

Writing - Term 1

 

Briley is working hard to spell many frequently used words correctly.

Mathematics - Term 1

 

Briley, you are able to read any number up to 100 and you are working hard to say the backwards number sequence from 100.

 

Values and beliefs

We shared with our buddy the things that we like and they shared

what they like. We found we had some things in common and some

differences. This discussion helped us to learn how to "connect"

with others in our school.
