Activity 1. Try and make an alphabetical list of all the foods you can think of! Can you find food for all of the letters in the alphabet? Share your answers on your blog. I made a google slide to share my answers take a look and maybe you could comment on my blog post any food that you can think of for the ones that I do not have any for.

Activity 3. Would you rather never be able to eat cake again or ice cream again?
I would rather never be able to eat ice cream because I love the cakes my Mum bakes and I also love the Christmas cakes my Gran bakes.

Orana park trip

Orana park trip

Today Te ara takitini went on a trip to Orana wildlife park. We had fun and each class was one group and we had some parents who volunteered to help out with the school trip. So I decided to make a google slide about some of the animals we have seen we learned lots about all the animals at Orana park Elisabeth our educator told us lots about the animals. when we were looking at the farmyard animals we have seen a couple of bunnys and a couple of guinea pigs and a lliama The roar of a lion can be heard 5 miles away. Here is my google slide: 

My next step is to add cool facts about animals.

Times of my day

Time of my life

In class when we do not do numeracy in our numeracy classes we do strand maths in our home base class for strand maths, we have been on learning how to tell the time on an analog clock.  Once everybody had learnt how to tell the time on an analog clock we had to do a google slide of things that happen at certain times during our day. Here is my google slide about what I do during my day!

My next step is to add more times of my day.

The Kuia and the spider

The Kuia and the Pungawerewere 

In class today we looked at a video on youtube of a story called the Kuia & the Spider and then this afternoon the Taki Rua group came to perform a Play about the story. During literacy time we had to retell what we could remember about the story and we could either make a book, Poster, animation or a google slide about what we could remember the story. The play that the Taki Rua group did was funny. Here is my google slide about what I could remember. By the way, Pungawerewere means spider in te Reo Maori and Kuia mean grandmother in te Reo Maori.
