18/06/12 What's Going On?

This week we are going to be learning all about Matariki. Matariki is a very special day on the Maori calendar. It is the start of the Maori new year.
We started today looking at our next Letterland sounds. Today we looked at "ow". There are two different sounds that "ow" make. We learnt about one when we were learning about the long-o sound.

Mr D was really impressed with how everyone went in their reading groups today. The whole class has really worked hard with their reading skills.

After morning tea we read a book about Matariki. Then we went to the computer suite to do some more KidPix illustrations.
We used a whole lot of skills from last time then had a go at using some different effects to make our stars look like they were glowing. We thought the results were awesome.




Then after lunch we looked at the night sky and learnt about some of the different constellations.
