Maths Whizz

Hi guys,
I am so impressed to see so many people using our maths whizz program.  Remember the aim is to make 'progressions'.  If you go in through your 'tutor' you can do the exercises and the tests and make the progressions.  I wonder if anyone will get a certificate this week?

Doubles

This week, we have been practising our 'doubles' (and near doubles, e.g. 3 + 3 = 6, so 3 + 4 = 7)
We enjoyed watching this fun video!

Daffodil Day

What a fabulous day to join in with the rest of NZ in raising money for the Cancer Society.  When we discussed as a class about what we were raising money for, many of the children spoke of people in their lives that had been affected by Cancer, so we had a deep understanding of why this is such an important day.

We all dressed in the colours of the daffodil, placed gold coins on a coin trail and had fun in our whānau groups with Daffodil art.

Story Lines

We enjoyed watching the Story Lines performance of "What's the Big Idea?" on Wednesday. We have been enjoying thinking about the 'Big Ideas' from the stories that we have read this week. Here are some photos from the performance.

Like a bright star

This week we are reading the lyrics that go with the song 'Like A Bright Star' for our poetry. Here is the music to go with the poem:

My Amazing Body

Today Constable Blue came to see us. He talked to us about Keeping Ourselves Safe by using the correct names for all parts of our bodies. We learned this song to help us remember how amazing our bodies are.  Here are the lyrics to the song:

Chorus 
This is my amazing body
And it’s how it’s meant to be
Noku nei taku tinana
(This is only MY body)
It all belongs to me!
This is my amazing body
And it’s special all the time
Wonderful arms and legs and tummy
Mine and only mine!

Verse 1 
No one should touch me in a way I do not like
I say “NO,” I say “NO – this is my body!”
No one should touch me in a way I do not like
I say “NO,”
I say “NO – this is my body!”

Chorus

Verse 2 
I’m the boss of my own body
And I say what I like I’m the boss of my own amazing body
I’m the boss of my own body
And I say what I like I’m the boss of my own amazing body

Chorus 

Noku nei taku tinana
Kia pai te awhi taku tinana! (I look after my body)
A naa! (I’m telling you!
It’s up to you now, to take note and act on it)
