Kia ora e te whānau,

Whānau Puna (Rooms 9, 10, 7/8) have had a good few days of learning.

Children are enjoying their learning in literacy. The Room 9 and 10 literacy this week was focused around the book Tāwhirimātea - A song about Matariki. We have been learning about expanding simple sentences and using speech marks in our writing. In Room 7 and 8 we have been continuing our learning about adjectives and adding them to our stories describing our Matariki kites. We have been listening to the main sounds in words so we can write independently. 

In maths this week we have been working on:

Room 7/8 - Ordering numbers to and from 10

Room 9 - Maths Journal and I Can, reviewing addition, multiplication & division of 2, 5 and 10

Room 10 - Reviewing number patterns, writing digits and number names, using mathematical language - less than, more than

A big thank you to all the whānau who came to our Student Led Conferences last week, the children enjoyed sharing their learning with you.

Reminder all Whānau Puna children will be performing at our Matariki festival in the kapa haka. A Skool loop notice has already been sent out.  We would like all children to wear a Bayswater Matariki t-shirt (black or white) or if they don’t have one, a plain black or white t-shirt.  If you have spare Matariki t-shirts and don’t mind lending them, please bring them to your child’s teacher clearly named.
