Cyber safety.

In the Kauri team we are always looking for ways to be cyber smart citizens. This week we have been working on some infographics that teach people about the messages that will keep them safe online. 

Here we are working in groups to make our infographics:

Measurement

This week Room 9 have been discovering how we can measure length. 
On Monday we used our oral language to have a whole class discussion about what we thought measurement was. We listened and learner from each other which helped us to build up our ideas and thoughts:

 
We decided we could measure lengths of objects with other everyday objects. We went and measured around the school using paintbrushes.

The next day we began designing our own measuring tools. These had numbers on them so objects could be compared. Some looked like rulers and measuring tapes. We thought that it would be easier if we made them out of harder material next time.

Today we learned about cm and mm and how to use our rulers to measure around the classroom. We could measure in centimetres or millimetres separately or convert from one to the other using our place value knowledge. 

Writing

We plan our vocabulary together.

In Room 8 and 9 our writing goes through many stages:

We write, then we edit our spelling and punctuation by underlining unknown words.

I

We write some more, and then craft our sentences by circling words we think can be changed or improved.

We work with others to share and hear ideas that help us with writing.

We can choose to attend editing and crafting workshops if this is something we think we need more help with.

Finally, we use checklists in our margins to see if we have met our learning goals. We made judgements about the quality of our work and what we have learned during writing.
We celebrate our learning in writing!
