Lest we forget.....

This week we have celebrated and remember those fallen soldiers that served for our country.  Each morning we stood and remember by looking at our special wall.

Here is some work the children have worked on.

Please have a good and safe holiday, see you at the start of term 2, May 2nd....

Maths with Mrs Maine

These children are learning to round to the nearest 10s.   This is practise work for this group after seeing the teacher.  

This is the first post that the children are recording the learning.   Which in turn, leads to some camera behaviour :)

Te Reo- Whakatua

The way the Funky Monkeys start our day is by perform a whakatua.    The children have been learning this during our te-reo maori time.

There are 3 parts to the whakatua
