Hard at work during reading...

Today we have worked so hard! After reading we had a 6 page Explain Everything to complete. We completed cut up sentences and learnt how to record our voices as we read them back to each other. Next was word work where we learnt our new HFW. On the last page we created our own picture from the story. Phew...we worked so extra hard... and the neat thing is we did it all on our own!

Once Upon a Time .... Film Festival Movie!

Most of the learners in Class 20 started school at the beginning of this year and all have made amazing progress on their "learning to read" journey.  We wanted to celebrate and share the importance of reading as part of our Manaiakalani Film Festival movie, while making the story interesting for the audience.

One of our favourite activities in Class 20 is exploring the dress-up box we have, and our movie gave everyone the opportunity to become an actor, and enjoy wearing a costume in front of the camera! All children enjoy a fairy story and we hope you enjoy viewing our movie as much as we enjoyed creating it for you!

Congratulations to ALL the actors and actresses from Class 20 that worked hard on learning lines and getting into character for their big screen debut!  Ms George and Mrs Belt are extremely proud of the enthusiasm and attitude of all our stars!

Fairy Tales may well exist .... Once Upon a Time ....

Julianna's Pet

After reading Lucky goes to Dog School today, Julianna completed her reading activity and decided she'd like to have a dog as a pet.  Check out Julianna's pet picture.

Celebrating our week :)

All the students in Class 20 have been working really hard this week!  We've done some amazing learning in all areas and would like to share some of that with our readers!

Holly created an amazing picture of a giraffe, after seeing one on our trip to the Zoo in week 1 :)  Holly has only been at school 3 weeks!

Oalii did some amazing addition learning in maths :)

 

Phoenix made a terrific effort with reading the book "Going to the Beach".  Mrs Belt rewarded her with some stickers.  Here is her follow up activity :)

Create & Share ..... independently!!!

Today during reading, Deborah and Nature read a story displayed in the classroom which we created as a class a few weeks ago. They videoed each other to share their learning with Ms George, Mrs Belt & the rest of the class - all independently! Amazing effort girls - we love that you are so keen to share and are so confident with using the iPads to create and share!
