Week 11 - 3 Minute Frenzy Stars

Here are term 1's final 3 minute frenzy stars (We did it a day early as we have heaps of fun planned for our last day). 

A big congratulations to all our tamariki on how they are setting themselves goals to improve each week.  Love seeing how you are achieving your goals Team Maunga.

 Remember to keep practicing over the holidays so you are ready for Term 2. 

Week 10 - 3 Minute Frenzy Stars

 Here are this weeks 3 minute frenzy stars.  The children aim to improve their own score and we track it so we can easily see how they have improved.  These children have been choosen as they are consistently showing improvement across the term.  Keep practicing.  Remember the tip from last week about practicing writing word families as this help to speed up writing down simple words.

Well done Waiahi, Harley, Kaelan, and Aston

Week 7 - 3 Minute Frenzy Stars

Here are week 7's  3 Minute Fenzy Stars.  One of them almost doubled her score from last week and got 20.  Well done Ivy L.  Well done also to Nerali and Aston, who continue to improve their scores each week! 

Fantastic work everyone!

Week 6 Term 1 - 3 Minute Frenzy

Here is this weeks 3 Minute Frenzy Stars.  They are showing both how they can write words quickly and also improve their own personal bests.  Well done Nerali, Harley and Rakai.  Keep working hard.  We can't wait to see what you can achieve by the end of this year!

Week 5 Term 1 - 3 Minute Frenzy

Again this weeks 3 Minute Frenzy showed great results.  We are getting quicker at writing words and thinking through word families more to help us do this.  Writing words quickly helps us with both our spelling and our story writing as well, as it speeds us up with writing both sounds and high frequency words. 

This week we continued to see children improving their scores.  This week we had someone also get more than 20 words.  Great work guys.  Can't wait to see what we will be able to achieve by the end of the term (and even the end of the year!)

Here are our 3 Minute Frenzy Stars this week.

Week 4 - 3 Minute Frenzy Stars

This weeks 3 minute frenzy stars go to 3 students who are working hard to get better and write more words within the 3 minutes.  These students may not have gotten the highest scores in our class we like to share the successes that our students make along the way. 

Well done Rakai, Aston and Beau for bettering your score from last week.  Can't wait to see what you can all do next week.

3 Minute Frenzy

This week we began our 3 minute frenzy work in Team Maunga.  3 minute frenzy is where children practice writing as many words as they can in 3 minutes, the scores children get are then recorded and we will celebrate the improvements that children make in this.  

Here are a few examples of work children did in this time this week.  

Well done, Kaelan, Nakita and Waiahi!  Top scores this week!

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!  

WATCH OUT WORLD here comes OHAEAWAI KIDS!

We are 'Word Works' Stars!

Yesterday we did our '3 Minute Frenzy'.  We both tried really hard to write as many words as we could do.  Here is a picture of us with our wonderful work.
