First Day Back At Schook

 Today was our first day at part-time school. We saw our friends Yvonne, Anna, Miss Sherina and Koka Anahira on Google Meet. We did phonics and reading. Then we had a play with lego and made boats. 

After morning tea we went to go into the garden to look for habitats and we discovered our garden is all over grown! All our little seedlings have turned into massive vegetables! We pulled up giant crazy carrots. Then we wrote about what they looked like. 

We finished our day by doing yoga.

What a great day!

Our newest member of Room 2!

Today a snail joined our online class. We found him in Miss Gormly's vegetable garden. We looked at him carefully and watched him slide along. He had feelers and a shell to protect him from birds. Birds are predators!

We write amazing stories about him.

We put him back outside but he didn't want to go and climbed back inside the door.

He wants to be in Room 2 too!

Reading and Maths Games Learning With Mum

Alayna and Ana's mum made up some games for them to play. They put words their mum wrote in alphabetical order. And them Mum wrote down words that they had to read such as dog and sleep.

For maths they had to order numbers and match them with the written word.

The girls played the game with us this morning at our Google Meet. We loved it. So cool to see you guys using Stretchy Snake to stretch out the sounds and Chunky Monkey to break up the longer words into chunks of sounds.
