Writing - Term 3

 

Khan is learning to underline words that he attempts to spell and then correct them using a word card or dictionary.

 

Khan, I enjoyed hearing you read the story that you wrote about celebrating Christmas with your family.

Maths - Time

We have been learning to:

• sequence events within a day

• order the days of the week
• order the months in a year
• describe a duration as long or short ­
• ­name and ­directly compare the duration of two events
• ­­tell the time to the hour and half hour using analogue clocks

Before we talked about clock features, we all drew clocks using our prior knowledge.

Khan, your next learning step is to correctly position the numbers 1 to 12 on a clock face.

Play Based Learning

Khan, it's great to see you practising your basketball skills during Discovery Time.

Art

Alien/robot named Galaxy Boy!

 

Khan, you did a great job at selecting recycled materials and independently constructing two alien/robots!

Science

Khan, you participated well in all the learning about the sun and how it affects everything, including animals and also causes night and day. It will be exciting to see the lanterns with the little lights in them at the Matariki lantern parade!

Writing - Term 2

Khan is learning to add detail to his writing and begin editing by underlining spelling words he is unsure of.  

Maths - Term 2

Addition and Subtraction

Khan is learning to add by partitioning numbers.  

 Khan can 'borrow' numbers from one side to make a tidy ten on the other.  

This makes solving the problem easier.

Khan's next step is to apply this to subtraction problems.
