PHONICS TIME

Phonics is learning the sound letters make.  Today we learnt the sound for the letter "c".  Once we had mastered the sound and how to form the letter we went back in our brains to remember how some other letters we had learnt recently and made 2 words.  Because...... did you know.... letters make words!  Aha!  They do!  Our brains know that too!  Check us out with "cat" and "sat" - ohhhhh, hey - that rhymes as well.  Super stuff!  Miss T had to try and get one good photo of us all ............... 

WEEK 2 IN TEAM TAHI

Remz joined Team Tahi today with a great big smile and great attitude!  Welcome Remz

 We worked together to make a number puzzle on the floor. We had to share the pieces and help each other.  Sometimes the pieces didn't fit so we had to turn them or try another piece.  We did it in the end and we were pretty pleased with ourselves!

We are learning about full stops and capital letters.  Did you know that full stops are in our reading, our writing and in our shared books!  Amazing!  They are everywhere.  

Did you know capital letters start a sentence?  These are everywhere as well.  Amazing!  

We are learning to identify these in our reading, writing and shared stories.  We are full stop and capital letter detectives!

 Our very first story writing today.  We used spaces, capital letters and full stops.  We are awesome Mahora learners with the right attitude.  

Tino pai rawa atu Team Tahi!

FIRST DAY IN TEAM TAHI

Here we are - Team Tahi!  We are the start of great things.  We had a splendid day exploring our world at school.  We loved popping the poppers and cutting the ribbon on the balloons.  Kalani told us the balloons were going to outer space.  

We had to look through 100 balls to find the letters to make our name.  Look how smart we are.  We found all the letters in our names.  What a cool way to start the day.
