Busy Medical Staff

Watch our busy beehive of a hospital at Town Time.
Can you ask us at home: How do nurses help us? How do doctors help us?

A Visit From Ross (Skippers)

For our concept learning, Georgia's Dad Ross came to visit us and show us all the fun he has managing Coronet Peak. 

We watched a funny video of all the people who work there. 

There are 450,000 people who visit the ski fields each year. So he told us about the rubbish and recycling.

2000 people go up th chairlift per hour.

The Green Gates chairlift has a span of 40m high. 

Thank you for all the learning Ross.

It's a big battleship. 

Hadyn's Creation

I made a jet plane that has a mini mobile that comes off it. It has a big petrol tank at the back.

Reflecting on our goal of being caring

Reece cared for me 'cause he helped me make a jump that as 10cm off the ground. - Nate

Sofia was caring in reading because she's helping others. - Evie T

Georgia helped me out on the computer. - Sokhra

When I was in The Factory Tianyou helped me because she got stuff for me. I made a baby picture. - Tianyou

Ara was caring with Taylor because she was sharing the bandages in the hospital. - Siena

Building Boys

These boys took advantage of the beautiful weather today. 

They chose to do construction at Town Time. 

We stacked bricks and made it into a building. 

Pounamu A&E

Natalie and Sophie are busy at reception. They have many people coming with ski injuries. Please be careful up the mountain, our emergency room is overloaded. 

Builders Using The Force

We are making a big Star Wars ship.

Fergus' Writing

How Does Our Community Help Us?
by Fergus McMurdo

I think the airforce helps us by keeping us safe at war and by helping us when we are hurt. 

Firefighters help us by putting out fires. Also they help us out of buildings. I think teachers are good because they help children. 

Writing time in skippers

We are thinking about how we help different communities.

We are learning about "cvc" words to help us read, write and spell.

We also practise our handwriting.

Miss Eve is helping us put our ideas in order and making sure our writing makes sense.

After our lesson with Miss Eve we are learning to manage ourselves and write independently.

I Wonder Why We Need

Phonics!

We are learning the digraph "ss".

Digraphs are two letters that make one sound. 

Please ask us to write you some ss words tonight.

Last week we learned "sh" and "ll" which are also digraphs. 

 

Tessellations!
