Term+4+Planning

TERM 3: Week 1 We are continuing to focus on basic facts, number knowledge and strategies used to problem solve. Our strand focus is Measurement - looking at Length, Seasons and Time, Rate and Change. Our Matariki artwork has been completed and is now displayed up on the classroom wall. So come and have a look at our great efforts with creativity. Key competency - Managing Self was used to ensure that this artwork got completed. Week 2: Welcome to Maori Language Week. Last week, we were learning how to ask "How are you/" and to answer " Kei te pai ahau" during the morning roll being taken. This week we are learning how to select and reply with a different answer and response. We are focusing on the Maori Myth and Legend of "The Fisherman's Tale". The children will be doing a recount using written language; will be designing a poster; making some 3D sea creatures that will be caught in the classroom net, using crayon and dye. We are hoping to do some work involving the use of flax and making some simple flax objects.
