Mathletics

Today  we went to the ICT room and logged onto Mathletics. Miss Hooper gave us our logins, they are the same as last year. We can go on Mathletics every night to practise our basic facts. There is a link on the right hand side of our blog page underneath the 'Maths Games' heading.

Jam Bus Waiata Recording

Last Thursday, Room 23 and 23A were lucky enough to take part in a recording session. We got to sing three Maori waiata which were put onto a CD. Have a listen...

Don't we sound great!

Rocket Writing

Today we did Rocket Writing. Rocket Writing is when you only have 5 minutes to write about a topic given to us by Miss Hooper. You have to try and write something that is interesting for the rest of the class because they vote for the winner. Today, Room 23A thought James's story was the best. Congratulations on being this weeks Rocket Writing Champion!

International Happiness Day

Today we celebrated International Happiness Day!

Assessment Week

This week in Room 23A, we have been doing different tests and assessments. Here are some pictures of us doing our writing assessment. We had to write a persuasion about whether we think the referee is always right. We will do another assessment at the end of the year to see how much we have improved. We also did a spelling and listening comprehension test as well as Miss Hooper testing our reading and maths. Miss Hooper did all of this testing so she knows how to help us and we know what we need to improve on to get better. 

Kiwiana

This week for topic, we have been looking at Kiwiana. We had to sort and categorise different kinds of Kiwiana into groups. Take a look at the pictures to see what groups we came up with. There are probably lots more to add that we haven't thought of yet. Can you think of any?

Listening Comprehension

In Room 23A we have been talking about what good readers and good listeners do. On Friday, we had a go at visualising. Visualising is when you create a picture in your mind to help you understand what you are reading. We had to find a quiet spot in the classroom and then Miss Hooper read us a story. While she was reading we tried to imagine what was happening. After she had finished reading we had to answer questions to see how well we listened. We are going to do this every Friday to help us become good readers and super listeners!
