Māori

We are learning to count in Māori and ask and answer a sentence about how many objects/people there are. 

 This is us playing hopscotch and saying the numbers in Māori as we hop.

Social Science

We wrote about who is in our family, what we like to do with our family, what our family likes to eat, a family celebration and family jobs and chores. We created a poster with our writing and then we drew a picture of our family.We learnt about ourselves and we are really proud of the quality poster we created.

Discovery Time - Term 3

You enjoy being creative in many different ways Braxton.

Maths Strategy - Term 3

Braxton is able to add 2 digit numbers by using place value and known facts to add the groups of tens and groups of ones. 

 Braxton's next learning step is to use number properties rather than drawing the tens and ones.

Writing - Term 3

Braxton is learning to spell words by looking for them on word cards and on resources around the room. He is also attempting to spell other words by stretching them out and recording the sounds he can hear. 

Braxton, I enjoyed hearing you read the story you wrote about trying to beat Mum and Dad at soccer.

Reading - Term 3

Braxton is reading at Purple level 19

He is learning to retell a story in sequence and to include important details. His next learning step is to retell a story without teacher prompting.

 

Maths - Time

We have been learning to:

• sequence events within a day

• order the days of the week
• order the months in a year
• describe a duration as long or short ­
• ­name and ­directly compare the duration of two events
• ­­tell the time to the hour and half hour using analogue clocks

Before we talked about clock features, we all drew clocks using our prior knowledge.

Braxton, your next learning step is to correctly position the numbers 1 to 12 on a clock face.
