How many kids?

We are learning about area and we measured how many students we could get into a painted rectangle in the junior area.

Teamwork

This Term in Pukeko Hub we are collaborating with others at lunchtime as well as in school time. The wet weather kept us inside a couple of days so we worked together with the train set.

Recounts of our Reading

This week we were writing a recount of our reading in Rooms 2 and 3.  Our aim in Room 3 was to try to include the simile 'As fast as the wind' or to write our own simile or metaphor. This is Jack R's writing.  🌝

Koro sent me to bed at 8:30. Tomorrow was a big race. last year I came third but this year I hoped to come first. In the picture on the bedroom wall was someone running down on the floor of a dark forest. I woke up with a bad head.

The next morning I packed my bag and went out to school. When it was race time we lined up at the start line.
"3, 2, 1, Go! The race was intense. I gained speed but my enemy Mike was the Flash. But I didn't forget a dream last night when I heard, "Run like the wind!" so I did. I ran so fast I passed everybody and I won the race by coming first place. Koro Said, "Go, go, go".

When we got home, Koro told me a story.
"When I was your age I was as fast as you, kiddo".
