We are well into the swing of things now........

Science - Plants and animals around us.
Our classroom has been a busy hive of activity as both our own Pukeko class as well as the Year 2 children from the Tui classroom work together in our Science lessons.  Our Science topic is
  'Plants and animals around us' 
and we have been enjoying learning about the different elements living things need to survive.  Please encourage us at home to carefully investigate the habitats of other living things around us - especially the creepy crawlies that Mrs McLeish is not too fond of!
What will we find?

Who lives under here?

We are learning to work together and share our ideas as a group.

Four brains are better than one!

We learn through discussion as we express our ideas so that others can understand our thinking.

Mathematics
We are using numbers lines to help us learn 'one more' and 'one less'. 



English
We are learning the most common sounds that the letters of our alphabet make.  We are listening for these sounds at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of words we know.  We are also learning to write the letter that makes this sound.
