Get NZ Writing Package

In Team Maunga we have been learning lots about writing letters and postcards this term.  This was leading us up to sending a package to a school in Stratford.  Here are some images of us getting our package ready to send.  Remember to ask us about what we should include in a Letter or Postcard (or ask us about how we use WETA for letter writing / Postcards.  For more information on this please look up other posts on this topic.

Preparing the postcards and messages.

Taking photos to explain the rock we included in our parcel

  Revisiting statistics work from the beginning of the year to work out how many siblings we have altogether.  We loved using Tally marks to help work this out.

 Researching who could lick their elbow (not all children have photos here so ask your child if this was them).

Working out who our tongue rollers were (again there were more children than we have images of here so ask your child about this).

 

 Sealing the package and Posting it at our Local NZ Post shop.

THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AMAZING EXPERIENCE WAREHOUSE STATIONARY!

Word Works Starts

This week we started up our 3 Minute Frenzy.  On Monday we had a chat about what a 3 minute frenzy is and how they could practice at home or at school for Wednesdays 3 minute Frenzy Launch, however Wednesday got so busy that we had to cut our session short.  This was very disappointing for a number of children who had been practicing in their own spare time, so so instead of doing it Wednesday we did it on Thursday.  Here are the 4 'Word works stars' for week 3.  Two children are year 2, and two are year 1's.  This is amazing stuff.  Ms F and I can't wait to see what you can achieve by the end of the year!
