Max M wants to share some slides he is proud of

Here are some slides Max is very proud of that he has been working on while working online at home.

Emilee wants to share her favourite slides

When we have been doing our online learning at home we have been keeping a record of it on our learning slides. I want to share some of my slides with you.

Maths is Fun

Check out some of the math we have been doing while we've been learning online. We all enjoy maths.

We wrote a story about 'When the Wild Things came to Weka Tēina'

We created our own Wild Thing and then wrote a story about what happened when our own 'Wild Thing' first came to school and then what they had learnt since becoming a member of Weka Tēina. When we get back to school we are going to illustrate (draw the pictures) that match our story using the Wild Thing that we created. We think our story will be great and lots of people are really going to enjoy reading it. Have a look at some of the things our 'Wild Things' did when they first came to school and what they have since learnt.

Handwriting and Number Formation

In Weka Tēina we use Casey Caterpillar to help us with our letter formation. She helps us with the language to form the letter correctly. Here is an example of the language that she uses .....

This is a
This is a 

We also use the sky, grass and dirt to help us know where the letters sit.
The letter snakes help us to also form the letter correctly because we know to start at the snake's head
And then we practise, practise, practise. Look at the great practise we've been doing....

Mrs Scott loves her job

It is great to see students using what they have learnt to help them. Look at the fabulous work Kobe has done when practising his letter m formation and learning to form the number 2 correctly. Kai pai Kobe and Mum you have both done an awesome job. These are the moments we love about our job.



Look at these fantastic 'm' and 'd' spotters

Great work for searching for things around your home that start with the sounds we have been learning about. You can get your mouth reading for these sounds when you are reading and find these sounds on your writing card when you need them for words you are trying to write. Awesome work.

We're still learning our letter sounds and names even when we are not in our learning space at school!!

Mrs Scott thinks she has the best class in the whole wide world. Even though we are not at school we are all working 'online' to learn our letter names and sounds and also at home with our whānau to learn. Today we learnt about the letter 'd' and the sound it makes.
We had to find something at our house that started with the 'd' sound and look at all the great things we found and shared with each other.
We have also been adding some great work to our learning slides. Check some of these out.....
Great work Weka Tēina, you really are the best.
