Letter of the week - Mm

We're going to be looking at M this week. Some of us are lucky enough to have looked at this letter before, and so we're going to challenge ourselves by thinking about the way we can use M in the middle of words. To do this, we're going to think about the sound 'um' makes.

This week we have our jUMp off,  I hope no-one falls and bUMps themselves!

We'll also be having fun thinking about all the words, and people we know that start with the letter M.

Wow!

Well, there was another big surprise waiting for Mrs Stroud this morning. It was very busy in Room 3, while we were all sleeping! Meet the new members of Team Toru! They're looking forward to meeting you all in the morning.

Letter - Nn

We're looking at the letter Nn this week. Some children will remember this from Term 2. We're on a roll now though, with our short sticks, and our tunnels - so we can't stop!

'n' is a short stick and a tunnel.

Hatching time!!!

Look what Mrs Stroud found when she popped into school this afternoon! Our baby is nice and cosy in the incubator. Keep your fingers crossed for our other two eggs.

Letter of the week - R

The letter Rr really is the most refreshing, radical,  random,  and ravishing letter for our letter of the week!

We will all be great at writing this letter as it is just a short stick, and half a tunnel - really rewarding!

Perseverance

This terms value focus at Kapanui school is PERSEVERANCE.

This week in Discovery time we talked a lot about persevering, and how we can get grumpy or frustrated and that's OK, as long as we keep trying.

We shared this video, which was lovely for Room 3 as we've been talking about and drawing pigs for our letter P.

This little pig shows plenty of perseverance!

Letter of the week - Pp

Welcome back to school everyone! The letter of the week is Pp.

We write 'p' using a 'hanging stick' - this is something new to try!

Perfect pink pigs begin with P!
