Reading Pathway

Xavier is on red. These are the learning goals he is working on for reading:
- I know the sounds in the word
- I know the letter sounds and some word endings
- I can take a breath at a full stop and find the speech marks and question marks
- I can read quickly, and make it sound like talking
- I can keep looking at the words all the way to the end
- I am starting to notice if I say the wrong word and I know to re-read the sentence

Maths Term 3

In maths we have been working on our own learning goals. We have our name on the wall and we are reminded about what our goal is regularly.

We have the opportunity two times a week to show our teacher we can meet our learning goal. We show Miss Nichols in TWO different ways that we have achieved our goal. Xavier's maths learning goal at the moment is to write his numbers correctly up to 10. Xavier has done a great job at making sure they are all around the right way.

Te Reo Māori

We are learning to

say the Kākano whakatuauki in Te Reo

We will know we are successful when we

say the words, not shout
say the Te Reo words correctly

CARE Values

We are learning to show the CARE values in different parts of the school...

I show RESPECT in assembly by sitting quietly and listening respectfully.

I show ACTIVE THINKING in the library by choosing books appropriate for us.

I show COMMUNITY when I transition by moving safely and being aware of others.

Writing numbers - Term 2

I am learning to write the numbers 6,7,8,9 and 10 correctly.

I am learning to count objects up to 10.

Probability - Maths Term 2

We have been learning to use everyday language to talk about the chance of something happening. We have read lots of different fairy tales and talked about things we 'will' see, 'might' see and 'won't' see. We also learnt other words like maybe, could, definitely, probably, certainly, perhaps, never, always, possible and impossible.

Our final challenge was to work with a buddy to draw pictures that we 'will' see, 'might' see and 'won't' see in a fairy tale of our choice. We had to work together to decide by listening to each other. Here is a photo of our final drawings and where we decided the pictures belonged.

Xavier and Paige:

Reading Term 2

I can find a full stop.

I know that this means I need to stop and take a breath.

Term 2 Writing

We have been learning about animals and their habitats. We have been learning about lots of different animals and where they live. We decided to choose an animal and write a poem about it...

We tried to think of interesting words to use in our poems and practiced forming our letters correctly.

Well done Xavier. Keep practicing your letter size and writing them on the line.

We are learning to: create our own numicon number line

- recognise the numicon shapes
- understand what number each shape represents
- order them correctly
