Where has the time gone?

Wow it is 'week 7' already and we are fully into parent interviews. It has been fantastic to be able to meet whanau and talk about the learning that is happening in Ruma Whitu. It has been hugely encouraging to see the support out there for the children, the school and for me.

Currently we have been reading 'The legend of Te Mata O Rongokako - The Sleeping Giant' re-told by Annelisa Ferguson with fantastic illustrations by Sophie Blokker as part of our terms learning on Te Papa (Our Place). Groups will be putting together a small drama to retell the story which we will record and place on the blog (stay tuned!!).

Mrs Renton has linked her awesome art activities to this as well by the way of a 'contour lines' project and a layered view of 'the sleeping giant.' She has also worked with the kids on some amazing alliteration analogies!

 

 

In week 9 we will be taking the challenge of walking up the peak to get a different perspective on Heretaunga and Ahuriri. I can't wait!

In maths we have been looking at tessellations (or tiling) and exploring the patterns that can be created. For more see the Escher gallery .

There have been some fantastic recounts written about when the vintage cars, and I believe we are well on the way to being a classroom of authors in Ruma Whitu. Soon our spelling lists will be added to the blog by linking to spellingcity.com and you will be able to complete a wide range of fun spelling related activities.
