Structured Literacy

We have been working so hard to form our letters correctly and create the sound of each letter, during our Structured Literacy lessons.

Aarav

You are forming some fabulous letter shapes Aarav. Keep up the awesome work. Ka pai :)

Sehaj

You are modifying your pencil grip daily, and as your fine motor skills get stronger throughout our Play-based activities - this supports your ability to write. You are taking learning in your stride and practicing your letter formations daily. I am so proud of you Sehaj. Miss Fale :)

Jaxon Lamont

You are creating some beautiful letter shapes and segmenting + blending our CVC words. Thank you for being an amazing role model to your peers in Room 2.

Focused on their learning

Zara, Liam and Jaxon you are learning to segment and blend sounds into words! I am so proud of your willingness to learn and your positive attitudes. Miss Fale :)

Letter of the week: Ii

This week in Room 2, we were all a little excited because we met a new friend in our favourite book, 'Milo's Birthday Surprise'. She was an insect and her name was Izzy! We were all intrigued because Izzy created an invitation to Milo's party and after a quick discussion about the words - invitation, indigo, igloos and ice blocks (and the word in)… we thought it would be pretty cool, if we made an invitation to a class nearby at Pokeno School to join us for a treat!

Check out our invitation....

Thanks for joining us Room 1!

Talofa Lava!

mania le vaiaso o le gagana samoa....

This week in Room 2 we celebrated Samoan Language Week. What an incredible week we shared together and alongside other classes at Pokeno School!

Creating a Samoan Lei with Room 4

We used colourful beads, straws and flowers to create our own unique Lei. We used our hand eye coordination and fine motor skills during our Play-based session. Thank you Room 4 for joining us, such a fun filled morning with so much energy.

Kavnoor, Sehaj and Madden your Leis are aulelei (beautiful).

Creating a Samoan Tapa Cloth (Siapo)

Step 1:

Draw an image/pattern on brown paper with vivid and colour in using pastel colours. Liam I love the colours you are using and how you are staying in the lines.

Step 2:

Beautiful Zara! Out next step in to stain the paper using tea bags. We leave this to dry over night.

Final steps with Millie... Scrunch up your paper in your hands, carefully unfold and press it out using your fingers. Feel the texture under your hands (it's such an awesome feeling)...
