Miss Manuele teaching us differently

Welcome to Term 2 family and friends,

During the school holiday, Miss Manuele went on a course with Yolanda Soryl where she learnt some new ways of how to teach Phonics using a Whiteboard. Our sound for the day is 'l, l, l'. Our word for today is 'like'. Here you will see us using the word in a sentence.  Our vocabulary is 'phoneme'. Do you know what it means?

Today we learnt how to say, spell and write the word 'like'. We also learnt how to check our work by looking at our teachers whiteboard and giving ourselves ticks. If it didn't look the same as Miss Manuele's then we had to rub off a tick. We had so much fun and guess what? We learnt to spell the word 'like'.

Keep checking our blog to see how fun learning is in our class.

Whole Class Writing Lesson.

Learning to read out loud what we had written.

Checking our work by ticking: started with a capital letter, end with a full stop and spaces between words.

As we wrote we had to say our words out loud.

Every time we said the word 'like' we had to spell it out loud and write the letters down at the same time.

The Brain

Kia Ora Whanau, 
This term we have been learning about 'The Brain'. Today, we decided to plan our ideas with words to help us write sentences about the brain.

Writing Experience

Hello family and friends.
On Monday our school was on lockdown. It was a very scary experience for us. We all had to get under a table where we stayed until it was safe to come out. We did some writing about it on Tuesday. 
Check out some of our writing.
