We have been learning Maori during Maori language week and we keep learning new words daily.   We can sing the days of the week song and can find the correct day in Maori. We can say, "How are you?" in Maori and answer the question by looking at words we want to choose. We made tiki for Maori language week and we wore them. Learning Maori is fun. First we thought it was hard but the more we practice we get better at it.

We have been experimenting with water, paper, playdough and shapes to make fractions. We had to make half  - 1/2 We had to make quarter - 1/4 We had to make sure the parts were equal and the same. Here we are using water. We are using paper strips and given shapes to make half and quarter. We are using playdough for equal sharing. We are using shapes to make 1/2 and 1/4. We are sharing apples by giving 1 apple to each person at a time. We make sure it is equal and fair, so we both have the same. Sharing is caring!

We have been learning about how to be a good friend.   We have to talk about the pictures to our buddy. When the teacher said the sentence we had to find the correct picture and write the number of the sentence. We took turns with our buddy. Our buddy read the sentence and we had to find the number to glue it in the correct place. We took turns and were helping each other. EXCELLENT WORK ROOM 1.
