Student Led Conference

Emily enjoyed celebrating her learning with her Mum when they came to her Student Led Conference. She shared her writing and read a story from her storybox. 

Great sharing Emily!

Grandparents Day

Today we had Grandparent and Special Friend Day at school. It was wonderful to have so many whānau and friends in Te Kākano. We enjoyed showing everyone around our class environment, sharing our favourite spaces and work.  

Emily loved showing her Granddad how to build and play in a make believe house. 

Playing Houses

Emily has been enjoying making houses during learn through play. She will carefully stack wooden blocks on top of each other to create the walls, making sure that she leaves an opening for the door.  She then sets her house up with tables and chairs and books to read. 

It has been wonderful to see how many visitors Emily has been getting. Her peers pretend to knock on the door and Emily calls "Come in". They may stay for a cup of tea or a biscuit which Emily pretends to make and sometimes even a story. At the end of the visit, Emily and her friends wave goodbye to each other. There is a lot of role playing and socialising occuring and Emily is enjoying her learning very much.

Geometry Picture

We have been looking at making pictures with the geometry shape blocks. We had to use different shapes to make a picture. My picture is of birds flying above trees. Can you see what different shapes I used?

Working on My Writing Goal

Emily has been working hard on writing lots of letters. She draws wonderful pictures of her story and is able to explain what is happening in her story. She uses her letter card to help her write down her known letters. Great writing Emily.

Working on My Math Goal

This week, Emily has been working hard on identifying and writing down the numbers to 10. She likes to use the playdough mats to show the number on the ten frames and the right amount of apples on the tree. 

Buddies: Emily and Sage

My big buddy is Sage. She is a senior pupil at Frankley School and is someone I can go to if I need any help.
