Rahina 28 Here-turi-koka

Monday 28 August

Here are some lovely photos courtesy of the Whineray's from Daffodil Day.They are just finalising the last of the money and will let us know what we raised.

Candy or Cream?
                         Waiting to start. Orange makes a great target, doesn't it Dads and Nanas???
Geared uo and ready to start!



Feast time!


What fun they all had. Thanks Cruz for inviting so many people. Everyone had such a fabulous time,  even though some people have amazing coloured tee shirts and bruises!

Today I wrote this model for the children to observe. 

We did a recount using the features we knew were part of a recount. Good planning, key words, starting words, adverb and ed starters, paragraphs with linked ideas, diamond vocabulary        ( words that are jewels ) alliteration, similes, personification, punctuation, repetition for effect, keeping it interesting and not having every detail, inference. 

Maths was multiplication and division family of facts.

4x6= 24
6x4=24

24 divided by 6=4
24 divided by 4= 6

Word problems:
It is a birthday party and their are 18 cup cakes. There are 9 kids. How many cupcakes will they get each?

18 divided by 9= 2
because 9x2= 18


Library and our great choices








Look out for the brochure for our NPS fundraiser. Chocolate or bars?


Every monday is school for teachers. Todays was reading and we had 2 workshops to attend.
Thanks staff who showed new and/or interesting information.

Ramere 15 Hakihea Friday 15 December What a last fun week we have had. No doubt you will have heard about pool parties, "Go home, Stay Home" , Hampsterball, dodgeball and games such as "Wink murder," "Beat master,""Honey, if you love me then give me a kiss", and 2 truths and a lie". It has been a lovely week to enjoy each others company and have that end of school "feel good" factor. I've loved seeing past pupils and sharing your lovely children. They have been a wonderful class and i am sorry to see each and every one of them go onto bigger, brighter things! Have a wonderful, safe Christmas and treasure all those family moments. These were a few last minute snaps. Our christmas crossword and word search. Team work gets things done. Chess winners! Mates! Mo day! Love the staunch look! My mascara put to good use. You are our Athletic super star!

Raapa 2 Here-turi-koka Wednesday 2 August Today yoyos appeared at school. They are a great thing to teach the NED concept. Never give up, encourage others to stick at it and be determined to do your best. Spike bought in a different way to achieve these concepts. He is egg sitting "Jimmy". Emma read out her "Mysterious egg" story. Thanks Benji for holding it so she could use voices to explain who each character was. It was rated as a great narrative! Well done Emma! Reading today was "making connections" between two different texts. We had Mrs McKenzie come and watch us learn. We were stunning of course! We learnt that to make connections you had to link ideas together and to ask yourself , " I remember when.. My experience… It reminds me of something I heard or in a movie this happened...  I felt like the character when…. When I read about ….  A book I read was similar to this… I know that because of …&qu
