Counting Money and Giving ChangeI

I am learning to recognise the value of NZ coins, to add, total and give change.




I think it was harder but a bit easy. 

Andy, you can add coins well but found it tricky to find the difference in amount using dollars and cents.  Keep practising your skills at home as well.  Mrs Templeton  22.11.16

Recount Writing

I am learning to write a recount of my experiences.

• order my ideas
• add details to my ideas
• write independently
• use capital letters and full stops

Howick Historical Village

I enjoyed the Ring Toss.  I was good at getting the target.

Using pictures, beginning sounds and patterns in words

I am learning to use picture clues, initial sounds and word patterns to read words.


Andy, you have really improved your skills and can use the pictures and words to help you. Keep learning the sounds and check the beginning blends.  Mrs Templeton 15.11.16

Identifying key words using initial letters and picture clues

I am learning to recognise words in the text using beginning sounds and the pictures to help me.




It can do it okay.  Some words were hard.

You work well when you sit near the teacher Andy.  You identified all the days of the week and the activities.  Keep checking the words start with the right sound.

Visual Art: Geometric Shape Art

I have been learning to observe and compare the works of other artists and to create my own art work using geometric shapes.

To be successful I needed to look at the works of Klee, Matisse and Kandinsky (right) and cut a range of shapes in different sizes and place them carefully to create my own masterpiece. (left)

I am learning to describe a storm using my senses.

I am learning that numbers can look different but still equal the same amount.

“I have 1 plus 7 equals 8.”

My Family

My Family

For writing I am writing about my family.  I have been learning to use capital letters and full stops in the right places.
