Swimming fun

I went to the swimming sports. I was first and second. I was in the finals. My dad was cheering for me and my friend. I was cheering for her too. I was in the ball race. I had a ball in the water.

Rhyming words

We are learning about rhyming words. The middle and last sound in rhyming words has to be the same. It is easy to sound out words when they are rhyming. Rhyming words almost sound the same. Only the first sound is different. I sometimes find it tricky to read and write rhyming words.

All about me

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.
