Probability

We have been learning lots of new language in Probability.  We have learnt about chance, possible, impossible, likely and less likely.

Oscar F - What is the chance that I choose the red one?

Nubaid - It is less likely because there is only one.

Britta - What is the chance of me picking a black dinosaur?

Julia - It would be impossible because there are no black dinosaurs.

Aaron - What is the chance of choosing a green dinosaur?

Brodie - It is likely because there are more greens than yellows.

Alexi - What is the chance of me choosing a yellow one?

Ruby - It is impossible because there are no yellow ones.

Do you remember what you said about communication?

Literacy Time!!

We were writing about what we would cook on a bbq, sausages, steak, chops and all with tomato sauce! What would you like to cook on  a bbq?

We were learning about dinosaurs!! We even got to draw and cut one out!!!

The yellow group were building their knowledge around compound words e.g netball, playground. Can you think of any compound words?

Baking day!!

Look at our baking! Thank you to Mrs Atkinson and Helen for all their help!

Time to talk with Ginger

We have been learning how to be good listeners with Ginger this week.
Good listeners:
Look with their eyes
Listen with their ears
Keep Still
And are quiet when it is someone else's turn to talk.
 

Respectful Learners in LH1

Today during PE some of our learners were the most AMAZING role models.  They showed respect by making eye contact with the person speaking.  They listened carefully for their instructions.  They collaborated with the other members of their team.

How else can you show respect?

"Maybe next time at PE you can be respectful and be on the blog!" - Bella

"Maybe next time at PE the teachers could try and be respectful" - Kyan

Are the teachers respectful?  Yes

"How could the teachers be more respectful then?" - Mrs Freddy

"They could help people if they fall over" - Mina

"I hope we get to be on the blog!!" - Miss Holland

Fixing up Miss Holland's writing

Today in writing our writing group gave me feedback on my writing.

We broke it into two different parts - one was about how I could fix up the writing that I had already done, and the other part was helping me with ideas on what I could add or do differently.

Here they are sharing their feedback with me about how I could improve my writing...

Then we gave each other feedback.

Here's LH1 giving each other feedback and buddy conferencing each other during writing time...

 

Maths Strand - learning about time

We have been learning how to order events, including drawing and writing about our favourite time at school.







Mrs Panapa taught us about the days of the week in Maori and we made them into a chain. The order of school events are up on the window in hub 1.

Children during their reading session

Aarav,  Zahra and Julia are learning to read silently as part of their reading session,  keep going!!!

Margot and Kyan are improving their ability to read silently. Awesome!!

Sachintha and Annabelle had fun blowing bubbles after reading their book!

Brooke read a story today about bubbles. They went up and up and up!!
Just like your bubbles Brooke.

Te Au Aio, awesome bubble blowing! Some of the others were trying to pop your bubbles.
 

Hailey was able to blow a long line of bubbles, they went up and up and up,  then down and down and down.

The Three Little Pigs Song

The three little pigs song.

The Three Little Pigs

Some of the children in hub 1 have been learning about the three little pigs.  We made a book and then they wanted to act the story out.   So here is their video.

Friday Morning Poetry

Each Friday we look at new poems in the hub.  Here's one of our groups practicing one of the poems, in which they focused on punctuation and expression (especially around the question marks).

Making connections independently!

Today whilst we were reading a number of learners made connections without being prompted to do so - don't they rock!

...and here we have George, Julia and Kodi spotting small words in a big word!

The Three Little Pigs

In the afternoons some of the learners have been working together to make different types of houses for the three little pigs.  This learning links to oral language and our science concepts.
 

Making Connections in Phonics

We've all been learning lots about letter sounds and how to use this understanding in our writing.  Some of the groups have been robotting to help them break down the sounds in words and some have been looking at words with the same middle and end sounds.  Here are some of the rhyming words we've found.  Can you think of any others?

Being Self-Aware in Writing Time

Today in writing time we talked about being self-aware.  We said that sometimes it's best to collaborate and work with others to share ideas and sometimes it's good to work by ourselves.

Daniel, Dan, Julia and Zoe were really self-aware today in writing!  They all decided to work by themselves while they planned their writing.

Did you collaborate or learn independently in writing today?

Hub One Herald - the first ever copy!

Extra, extra, read all about it!

Some of the learners in LH1 have become journalists.

We're very proud to be able to bring you the first ever edition of the Hub One Herald.  We put a lot of time and effort into writing our stories and took awesome 'photographs' of our stories.

What do you think?  Would you like to see the next edition of the Hub One Herald?
