Welcome Back Tamariki!

Week one of term three has kicked off with a bang. We have some fantastic programmes happening this term including Keeping Ourselves Safe, Fair Play, Poetry, Speeches, Persuasive and Narrative Writing, Multiplication strategies, and film making.

This week we have started writing poems, check our individual blogs (linked down the side of the page) to see our creative writing.

Today we practiced a relay and discovered all the reasons why fair play is important to us. It helps the game become more fun when we practice taking turns and following the rules that we all agree on.

Taking turns in a adventure course

Following rules, and playing fair!

We've also had fantastic success so far in our maths thinking. we are learning to use Stage 5 and 6 strategies which means solving maths problems using our times tables instead of skip counting.
Check out some of our multiplicative strategies that we used to solve how many bunches of 5 can fit into 320. Check our other Math blogposts to see some useful videos showing how to use smart strategies.
