This week we learnt about the letters C and K.





Room 16 have been absolute stars! They are working very hard to learn all their jolly phonics. I was so pleased that we had cake and cookies - and in our fine motor skills time we made cat hats to reinforce the sounds that C and K make. Next week we are learning about the letters H and R. Tino pai tamariki ma!

Glamourous glasses!



Jonothan and Marcus are superstars - they know all of their jolly phonics. They have been working on two blends per week. This week they were working on gl... they had a word find and a very difficult crossword. I thought that they needed some fun - so they got to make some "glamourous glasses". Don't they look cool!

We love ICT







We love visiting Whaea Tania at ICT. We love visiting starfall and last week we had our first go on kidpix. We are learning how to navigate around websites and use our mouse pad. We use our pointing finger - just like we do when reading! Next week we are going to type our names.

The legend of Ranginui and Paptuanuku

Ranginui and Paptuanuku



Today we watched a clip on you tube. It was about the creation - Ranginui and Papatuanuku. Today the tamariki did a role play. The boys played Ranginui the sky father and the girls played Papatuanuku the earth mother. Rex was Tane Mahuta and pushed his parents apart.

Wow Hoani!



Today Hoani wrote his name on his whiteboard. He was so excited! Ka rawe e hoa!

Room 16 tamariki help a baby bird!






While we were on our number hunt, we found a baby bird that had fallen from it's nest. We could hear the mother bird calling for her baby. We got a long pole and carefully put the baby bird back into the tree. It's parents helped it back up the tree.

We're going on a number hunt!







Today we went for on a hunt for numbers - we had lots of fun. It helped all our new tamariki who are learning the difference between numbers and letters.

We are one, but we are many.



This week we made a beautiful big rainbow - we made it from our handprints. Our artwork is titled "We are one,but we are many" This year we will be looking at what Kotahitanga means to us in Room 16.
