More workshops!

Today we had more technology workshops! We could choose whether to build a slide to help Jack get down from Giant Land the fastest, make a new chair for the Bears, or build a strong house for the three little pigs. There was lots of laughter, discussion and great inventive ideas in every workshop! 

Here are some of us building a new house for the three little pigs: 

Here are Zac and Chrostopher with their house BEFORE the big bad wolf tried to blow it down ;) 

...and here they are after! 

Here are Amelia, Charlie, Holly, Fai'ana, Jorja and Nevaeh with their house before the big bad wolf came along...

Check out our Handwriting!

We are working really hard on forming our letters correctly in Piako Tahi at the moment. Today we had an extra long handwriting session where we focused on taking our time to write our letters properly. Afterwards in Miss Crowther's Writing group we did 'judging' where we looked at all the books and chose some handwriting that we liked. We all tried really hard and our handwriting is looking beautiful! 

 

Our Writing!

We have been writing some great stories lately in Piako Tahi! We are working hard to listen for sounds in the words we write, use our looking word cards and reread our story so we can make sure it makes sense!

Here is some of our Writing from today: 

Quinn did a great job of using the looking word card and rereading his story on his own. He even asked if he could write more!!

Oliver H didn't wait for the teacher to help him and stretched his words to hear lots of sounds! He also used a great hook to start his story! 

Amelia wrote her story without any help from the teacher today! She heard lots of sounds on her words and even used some describing words!
