Fun in literacy learning!

Bringing reading and writing together has proven successful in hub 5/6. We love experiences that create memories for our learning.

Here are some of us in action after reading our books about bubbles and a story about a road that had a big hole that needed to be covered for cars to go over.



 

Practicing our fine motor skills through art

We cut out a flower shape and stuck it onto some coloured paper, now we are gluing on small bits of paint samples we cut out another session. These are just a few fun ways to strengthen our hand muscles and help us with our pencil grip for writing.

Learning our List Words using Bitsboard

Today we used the iPads to learn our list words.

Miss Holland was pressing lots of buttons and that's not working good.  It wasn't very good because she was too fast and you have to slow down when you're doing it so you can think!  And you will slow down and choose one.

We had to think, and talk and collaborate with our partner, and then we had to connect.  We also had to do lots of listening.

It was hard but sometimes we knew what to push!  We will do some more practicing.

By Reilly, Jim, Ella and Mercedez (today's thinking and connecting super stars!)

(When we practice, we are Building our Learning Capacity which is what Rocky does)

Today in concept we were learning how to change the sound of our instruments.

Some of us shook our shakers harder to make the sound louder.

Some of us changed the way we used the instrument which made the sound of it change.

Can you remember how many different sounds you were able to make?

Numeracy

Today for our warm up we ordered numbers to 20.

Then we decorated our cakes on our whiteboards with m&m's and beans. We were leaning how to add two sets of materials together.

Can you remember how many m&m's were on your cake?
