Team Kereru are an amazing bunch of highly energetic, hardworking and
goal driven learners.
In writing we have been exploring explanations. We are writing explanations about life cycles.
So far we have looked at frogs and sea turtles.
Our learning blogs have many wonderful examples of these. We will move
into writing reports during the next couple of weeks.
In reading we have been learning about a new app on our iPad. This app is called ‘Shadow Puppet’ and the
task we had was to retell the legend Maui and the Sun. Some of the results from this app look
amazing and are slowly being updated onto individual blogs. We have also been working on triramas about
space (see your child’s blog). We will
continue to use apps that are appropriate to our learning in reading and learn
the new ways we can find and present information.
Our inquiry has us buzzing, we have been learning about the different
stars that there are in the whole universe and are trying to comprehend the
size of these. Did you know that a super-giant star is about the size of our
solar system? On Thursday the Space Dome came and we learnt a lot during their
time here. I can’t wait to see what the
children choose to explore for their own research.
Our website of the week is http://www.space.com/ it is a fantastic informative and engaging
website.
