Syllables

This week in room 12 we have been learning about syllables. We have had lots of fun figuring them out and today we even had a go at writing haiku poems about rainbows. 

Here's the video that we've been watching to learn about syllables and a picture of us clapping along.

Kaitoro time

Every Friday afternoon in Team Koru the children choose from a range of exciting activities to explore, create or challenge themselves. Last Friday we had sport, wheels, sandpit, dress ups, Japanese writing, poi making, construction and art and craft on offer.

Writing in Room 12

For the past two afternoons in rūma 12 we have been doing silent writing. We put on some writing music, have picture prompts, sentence starters, and our wonderful imaginations to get us started. Today some of our writing was shared to the class and what fabulous authors we are becoming. We were aiming to spend just 10 minutes on this but we loved it so much we ended up writing for 20 minutes, with some of us taking our books home to keep on writing!
