Again it has been a very busy week for everyone in Room 8!

In Literacy we learned some new and very tricky phonemes – ‘t’ and ‘oa’.  Can you correctly sort these phoneme words?

We read a story about an extreme weather.  It was called Bringing the Rain to the Kapiti Plain.  It was about a terrible drought that was ended by a magical weather feather.  We acted the story out in groups and retold the main events during our Exciting Writing.

 

In Maths we started a new topic – FRACTIONS!  We know the denominator is the number on the bottom.  This number tells us how many equal parts.  We know the number on top is called the numerator.  This number tells us how many parts are coloured.  We have investigated halves and quarters.  We are learning to find a fraction of a shape, group and number.  Today we explored thirds.

Again we have had lots of Weekly Wonders and Gold Awards.  We are so proud of one another.  Well done boys and girls!
