A Fraction Feast

We are learning to identify fractions.
We had a fraction feast. Can you see what fractions we ate?

The Art Work of Joan Miro

The class looked at the different elements used in art works.

 Colour - Lines - Shapes - Texture - Form - Value - SPACE

We then looked at artwork created by Joan Miro and discussed which elements were used.

We created our own art works in the style of Joan Miro

Homonyms

We have been learning to identify the different meanings of tricky words which sound the same but are spelt in various ways. It is important to know which is the correct spelling.

Instruction Writing

We worked with a buddy to write instructions for making some kai.
We then followed our written instructions and showed our classmates how to make the different foods.
We all had a go, made the food and ate it!

A to Z of Shantytown

Ruma 4 headed to Shantytown to learn about Kehu, the Maori guide who helped early European explorers travel to West Coast.

We created this A to Z to explain what we did.

A to Z of Shantytown

Ate food from our lunch boxes

Built structures for shelter in the bush

Climbed to hill to search for building stuff

Drank refreshing water

Explored the fold fashioned shops

Found a blue mushroom

Grabbed sticks and leaves

Held soft moss

Investigated the jail house

Jumped on the bridge

Kehu was a superhero of the bush

Looked at the interesting rocks and gems

Mucked about on the muddy track

Noticed the old fashioned barber’s chair

Opened the door

Plaited flax to make ropes

Quickly followed the teacher’s instructions

Ripped the flax ready to plait

Skipped around the shops

Talked with our friends

Unzipped our bags

Ventured into the forest

Walking in stilts

eXplored Shantytown

Yelled at each other

Zoomed in the van with Bronie

Shared Pukapuka

We read the book "When the Wind Changed" which was written by Ruth Park.
It tells of a boy called Joshua who loves to pull face....BUT one day the wind changed and his face was frozen!

Afterwards we drew and created terrifying faces.
