My Mihi

Wellington Zoo

I went to Wellington Zoo. I saw lots of animals, but the Lions was the best of all. The zoo keeper gave us a map to know where the animals live.

The Farm

I went to the farm, because I like the farm. But a Chinese farm, and I saw a kangaroo and a rabbit.

At The Craft Table

This week, Angela has enjoyed creating at the craft table. She persevered on her creation, carefully gluing shapes onto her T-shirt. She spent a lot of time using her fine motor skills to cut and paste, and was very proud of her hard work. What a wonderful design you have created Angela. 

Making Clothes

Angela and her friends wanted to play with the magnetic dress up doll, but there was only one doll. They thought it would be more fair if they each had a doll to play with. So Mrs O photocopied and laminated more dolls for the girls. They then decided what types of clothes they wanted to make and used the originals as templates or measured their own using rulers. What wonderful creativity and problem solving the girls displayed. Here is the outfit Angela made:

Writing Outside

Angela's current writing goal is to use her word card to help her spell words she needs when she writes her stories.
Today we had our writing workshop on this goal outside.  First we read the words on our resource card then we each took turns reading a word on the card.   The rest of the children had to locate the word then write it with chalk on the concrete.  We don't have to write only in our books.  We can write anywhere!

Superhero

Today Angela was our superhero.  Angela has been working so hard on her writing goal.  Well done Angela!
