Kei te pehea koutou katoa-how are you all?

I wonder if you heard the thunder and saw the flashes of lightning last night-it was quite stormy at my house!

Hopefully you are all nice and snug inside and ready for some home learning.

Let's get the day started with some fitness.

Phonics

How many things beginning with a can you find in the picture below?

I can find 9 things, how many can you find?

Writing

Have a go at writing your own sentence and you can share it with us during our Google meet.

Sight words

Are you getting quicker at recognising these sight words-remember to write them down if you can.

Good luck!

Reading

Maths

Lets get switched on for maths by practising to count to 100 with the Singing Walrus!

We are learning to recognise numbers using tally marks.

Tally marks are a great way to count lots of things because we can group in 5's-when we shut the gate we have made a bundle of 5.

We don't need to count these tally marks because we recognise the bundle of 5!

Have a go at recognising the numbers on the sheet below:

Here is a word problem for you to work through. I wonder if you can use tally marks to help find the answer?

Have a lovely day Tuatahi, and stay safe and warm inside your bubble and remember to be kind!

We would love to see some photos of your learning, maybe you could send me a photo of your tally marks you drew to solve the word problem.

I notice..............

Here are the photos of the jar on Mrs Waddington's desk.

Have a careful look, what can you see-what do you notice?

Choose one thing that you notice(see) to put into your sentence tomorrow during out Google meet.

I notice a book that I used to read to my children when they were your age!

I notice a candle that says 21 which is the same age as my daughter!

I notice a part of the hose which I use to water my garden.

I wonder what you notice?

Come ready to share your sentence tomorrow during our Google meet.

RNZ story time

Let's end our week with some fun!

We would like you to go on a scavenger hunt in your back garden or around your neighbourhood to collect some of natures treasure!

Once you have collected your treasure we would like you to be creative and make something out of it.

Here are some examples of collage and pictures made out of natures treasure.

If you don't have any glue or paper, you can make your creation outside on the ground-that way you can change it as many times as you like!

We would love to see some photos of what you collect and create from your scavenger hunt.

Thank you to our wonderful families for all your mahi this week, and for engaging your tamariki in our Google meets and on line learning.

Tino pai rawa atu!
