Our Writing Process

Class 24 is becoming amazing story tellers, and they are doing an excellent job learning how to put their ideas into sentences on paper.  Yesterday, Mrs. Moala captured portions of our writing lesson to show how well we are doing.

First, our class "used our own brains" to look at the funny monkey picture Mrs. Moala showed us. Then, we were allowed to "talk with our buddies" and share our ideas about the picture.  After sharing with our buddy, we had a whole-class sharing time.

During our class discussion, Mrs. Moala helped us create a writing web.  The writing web helps us with special words when we are writing our own sentences about the picture.

When we finished writing our sentences, we read them aloud to Mrs. Moala, and she even recorded some of us!

Amazing learning and Visitors

Class 24 is so smart!  We have been playing a fun maths game on our iPads called Slide, and we are getting so good at recognising our numbers using fingers and dots.  We had some special visitors from all over New Zealand visit our class today, and they joined in our game.  Israel and Peni are so smart, they were able to beat the visiting teachers!  Amazing job boys!

 Siu and Cherish were both so proud of the sentences they wrote yesterday, and they wanted to share them on our blog.  Amazing job Siu and Cherish!

Siu is so proud of the sentence he wrote all by himself!

"The astronaut is on the moon."

Cherish is so proud of the sentence she wrote and the picture she drew to go with it!

"Dora is jumping."

Friends and Fun

Class 24 works so hard learning new things everyday!  However, we still have time to build relationships and have lots of fun when we play with our friends!

Siu, Teingoa, and Keyana worked together to make this amazing structure.

Did you notice that you could crawl under it?

We've had lots of rainy days this week, so here we are watching a fun cartoon during lunch.
