Raapa 8 o Hui-tanguru

We went swimming, but the water was cold. Miss Pearse's and Mr Preston's groups swam lengths. This afternoon we found out what type of learner we are, some of us were bodily kinesthetic, or visual spatial, or logical Mathematical and there are others. We are continuing to learn about place value in maths and we wrote letters to ourselves about ourselves

A great start to week 2! Today we did spelling and place value testing. We used a tracking sheet to see where we are at, and identify our next learning steps. We didn't go swimming today - but we need to remember our togs tomorrow. We went out for some PE but the bell rang and cut our lesson short. We have been watching Miss Pearse's friend 'Gilby' as he and other cyclists cycle through Arthur's Pass as part of the Kiwi Brevet - check them out here - http://trackleaders.com/kiwibrevet

Today we discussed and practiced ruling and writing up our books. We glued in our writing and maths guide lines. When we do any written work we must remember our DUMTUMS. DUMTUMS stand for Date, Underline, Miss a line, Title, Underline, Miss a line, and Start.

We also went to the Greytown swimming pools for swimming. We were put into ability groups to practice our swimming. Greytown School Swimming Sports are on in 3 weeks. We MUST remember our togs, towels and polar fleeces every day.
