Our Poupou

For one of our art projects we learnt to draw a poupou.  Poupou are traditionally a wooden carved Maori statue.  Poupou tell the stories of the meeting house, the local iwi and the iwi's ancestry.  We sketched our Poupou and then painted them using cotton buds and dye.  We learnt about symmetry and proportion.

Term 4 Writing

Today we wrote about what we did in the school holidays.  Then we looked back at the first story we wrote at Elm Park School.  Look at the difference!

Chiara says:  I am better at doing capital letters and doing my sentence by myself.  Now I am getting good at writing big sentences.

Learning my words

Making words with play dough is a fun way to learn those important words.

Chiara said,"I am getting good at knowing my words."

Adding with 5

This game helps you learn about adding with 5 as part of the number sentence.

Chiara said," I am counting here. I am getting good at counting. I can go to 40 I think."

Reading my Story

I am learning to read my writing to make sure it makes sense.  I can also read it to someone else to check.  Listen to my story!
