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.

Puppets and Parfaits


We, the Explorers and Discoverers, shared our learning about mechanisms. We created puppets using a simple mechanism.  We performed a song from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, "Doll On A Music Box/Truly Scrumptious".

The puppet making process was very challenging. A lot of us had to start from scratch more than once as our puppets weren't big enough. 

Thank you for coming to see our learning journey.

Curiosity and Collaboration in Pounamu

What did you make James?
"I did my best plane and then I cut it out. My favourite part is the back engine and the front part."

Why did you do a plane? 
"Me and Sam are making an airport together out of paper."
