It has been fun finding learning tasks for you to do at home, and even more fun seeing you everyday during our Google Meets. Thank you all for participating and contributing, and a huge thanks to the wonderful Tuatahi parents, because without your support at home, our home learning wouldn't have been as successful.

Today is our last blog post for online learning, as tomorrow Mrs Waddington and I are going to head into school to get our classroom all ready for Wednesday-yay!!

Here is some learning for today.

You can practise your vowel sounds by singing along to the video below.

Here are some fun I spy sheets where you get to sound out the words below, and then look for that object in the I Spy sheet.

We call these books non-fiction.
