This week Te Rōpū Kura Pounamu, Te Rōpū Whakaute and Te Rōpū Wawata have been working hard on learning to write descriptions. We have been focusing on writing using the sentence starter 'I see'. Here are some photos of our writing, we wrote the sentences together about the friendship soup we made on Monday. This was our first time ever writing descriptions and I think all the students did a fantastic job! After we wrote on the whiteboards we wrote our first story in our writing books, so come in and take a look!
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?
Wow, what fantastic descriptions and I like how you started your descriptions with what you could see. I wonder what you would hear in a Friendship Soup, I think you would hear laughter.
