Letter of the Week

This year we are doing phonics in our homerooms. Kiwi class looks at two letters and their matching sounds every week. Weka and Pukeko classes work together on one letter of the week. Each week we have a letter of the week wall where we display all the things we can find that begin with our letter of the week. Last week our letter was H and we had some fun having Harlin Haines wearing a hat on our h wall. Too cute not to share! This week our letter is J so get your thinking caps on Weka and Pukeko classes, what words do you know that start with J?

Duffy Theatre Show

Last Friday the Duffy Theatre Show came to school. The Duffy programme brings books into schools and we are lucky to be a part of it. Their show this year was all about Duffy and Global girl on their mission to save the planet from global warming. Duffy had to help Global girl see her Dyslexia as a super power and not a super problem. It was a fun and interactive show with lots of singing and science experiments.

Our Place in the World

This term our School Inquiry topic is We are NZ - Our Place in the world. In the Junior Hub we are looking at the different cultures that make up our classroom. We have so many different interesting cultures in our classroom it will be great to learn about them all! We are also looking at what makes us New Zealanders and what Kiwiana means. We started with a fun gumboot throw on Friday! Take a look at these amazing throws!
