Welcome to Tuatahi, your child's first class. This blog is a place where we share our learning journey with our whanau and friends.
Our whole school theme for 2022 is Superheroes, and this term we will look at the idea that not all superheroes wear capes.
We look forward to working together to create a positive learning journey for your child.
Remember to keep practising the vowel sounds. Vowels are very important letters and we find a vowel in every word. Here is a fun song to help you practise the vowels soundsThis week we have been learning to listen to the beginning, middle and end sound of a word.
Today's challenge is to put all that work into action by sounding out the whole word and writing down all the letters.
How did you go-we would love to see a photo of your sounding out.
Photos can be sent to: pgetty@owairaka.school.nz
