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...

...and here they are after! 

 

 

 

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! 

 

Writing Assistants!

In Mrs Best and Miss Crowther's writing groups we have writing assistants! 1 person from each group gets chosen each day to be the special helper for that day's writing time. They help make sure that everyone is doing their Must Do's and Can Do's correctly, and even choose someone who was really on task to be the writing assistant for the next day! 

Our first writing assistants today were Amon and Fai'ana, chosen because they are such great on task learners during writing time. Way to go guys!!
