Maths Strand - Algebra

We are learning to: Identify and describe the rule for 'growing' patterns.

Indy can identify the next pattern in a sequence and is now learning to create an equation which will enable her to calculate any other item in the sequence. 

Te Reo Māori

We are learning to count in Māori and ask and answer a sentence about how many objects/people there are. 

This is us playing hopscotch and saying the numbers in Māori as we hop.



We took turns saying 2 digit numbers in Māori and making them.

Visual Art - Term 3

We looked at koru and kowhaiwhai patterns in picture books and practiced drawing them.

Then we visited the art gallery and learned more about Māori motifs.  

We created an artwork there by cutting out the shapes we saw and overlapping them.

We were inspired by the work of Reuben Paterson and created our own glitter art.

Social Science

We wrote about who is in our family, what we do together, what we like to eat, celebrations and jobs.

We created a poster and learned about the similarities and differences of families in our class.  

Maths - Term 3

Indy is learning to add by starting with the largest number.

Her next step is to do this with 2 digit numbers and without materials.

Discovery time - Term 3

Indy had a great idea to use her umbrella for shade while reading outside.

Reading - Term 3

Indy enjoys responding to a story and making connections to her life and what she already knows.

Indy's next learning step is to locate and recall specific information in a text.
