My Living Thing

• We are learning to understand that all living things need different things to survive

During term 2, C6 have been learning about living things; we learnt about honey bees, oak trees, and kiwis. For our assessment, they had to create their own creature/living thing, and label how it breathes and how it moves. They then wrote a report that explained what their creature was, what it looked like, where it lived, and what it needed to survive. Next they put it all together into a poster.

MATARIKI LEARNING & CELEBRATIONS

• We are learning to understand and describe the cultural importance of Matariki

On Monday 3rd July, the Pukeroa & Pukehangi teams held a Matariki rotations day. The students got to rotate around the 7 classes and complete a different activity in each class. Here are a few pictures and videos from our day:

Measurement

• We are learning to measure length using different objects

Kowhaiwhai art

• #Maths learning meets Art learning
• We are learning to create a kowhaiwhai pattern artwork using translation, reflection, and rotation

Writing group sessions

• We are learning how to write an explanation
• We are learning how to participate & contribute in a group

Today we started to learn how to write an explanation. We looked at 2 different examples, and then wrote one together as a class. The students were then put into mixed ability groups and had to write an explanation on "how to have a fun birthday party". 

Living things and measurement:

How many C6 students are the same height as an oak tree? We measured ourselves and added together, all together including Miss Bridgeman we were 2,888cm. 20 C6 students together = 2,453cm which is the closest to the average height of an oak tree 2,400cm.
This was a great learning activity to introduce measurement and continue our learning of oak trees.

Little Red Riding Hood in C6!

• We are learning to re-tell a story in the correct sequence
• We are learning to work cooperatively in a group

Today in C6 we listened to the story "Little Red Riding Hood". We then got into groups and had to work together to write down the characters names, and the sequence of the story; what happened first, next, and last. We then did a play in our groups and acted out the story, with a few brave groups performing to the class! Our next step is to re-tell the story in our writing books independently.
