Operetta

We are preparing for the school Operetta. 

We are singing the Kiwi Bird song with R3 and reciting The Kakapo poem. We have made Kakapo masks to wear and costumes. Some people are wearing cat costumes.

Koru Patterns on PhotoPeach

Triangle patterns

Today in The Orchard we learned how to make patterns using the straight line tool. Then we had to try and save our own work - in the right place!
These are some of our triangle patterns.

Reading Eggs

Room 4 has been using Reading Eggs to help them with their reading. There was a free trial first then we applied for and were successful in getting sponsorship from Honda for free access for the class to Reading Eggs until the end of the year. It is wonderful to see students in The Orchard choosing to go on Reading Eggs and practice their reading and spelling skills. Each student has a login and they can use Reading Eggs from home also.

We would love some comments from parents about students using Reading Eggs over the holidays at home.

Super Stars!

Room 4 are superstars!
We have learned how to do something new and a bit tricky in Kidpix. Last week we had a practice and today we made these pictures.
