Labelling Parts of a Bike

Writing a Letter Home

Tomorrow we are going to ride our bikes at school.  We are learning and reading about lots of different bikes and what they can do.   We wrote a note home asking if we could bring our bikes to school.  Fingers crossed I am allowed too.  Whoops I forgot to write I need to bring my bike helmet too!

Our Car Ramp

Today we were making a car ramp outside. We learned lots about our play. We used puddles to clean our cars to reuse on the ramp. We had a problem where the cars were flying out the end of the ramp. We decided to use sand to stop the cars. Then we had another problem because the sand at the end created a type of sand ramp and the cars started flying over the ramp. We solved the problem by making the sand into a wall to stop the cars.

 We had another idea to create a high ramp at the beginning of the track so we didn't have to push the cars so hard. We used blocks of wood to make one end of the ramp higher.

Author's Chair

Jeremiah has been working really hard during Write to Self time finding words on his word card and writing them into his book. He was able to read to the class all the words that he wrote. You are a great author, Jeremiah.

Music Pattern

For Friday Surprise Day we continued our exploration into patterns. Today we used music to create a pattern. Can your child explain their pattern? Can you make a new pattern together?

Super Hero

Today Jeremiah was our Super Hero. He was focusing so well on his learning  in Reading. We had so much in reading together. SUPER work Jeremiah!

My Puppet

Here is a picture of Jeremiah and his puppet. Te Kakano made puppets for Friday Surprise Day and our Whakangahau. We had to think about all the parts our puppets would need. We also had to show persistence to make sure the parts stayed on and looked how we planned it. 

"My puppet has hair on top of the eyes. The hair snakes next to the eyes? It looks like a rainbow because they go around the eyes."
