Learning with Youth Town

Here I am participating in our Youth Town Programme. It’s all about having fun and learning new skills. I am learning to aim and throw at a target!

Visiting Pakuranga College

As part of our Science Inquiry we went to Pakuranga College. We made slides with our Science buddies and looked at them through the microscopes. 

Mathematics

I am learning to count on from 5.  I know to keep 5 in my head and count on from there.

"I can count 5 fingers and count the dots and get the last number." said Florence.

Reading

I am learning to use the illustrations to help me with the story.  I know to get my mouth ready to make the beginning sound.

"I can make the first sound and the last sound to help me read the word.  I look at the pictures to get clues." said Florence

Published story

I am learning to illustrate a story that I have written from my story writing book. 

"I can write a capital letter start of the sentence. I can read the story to my friend." said Florence.

I am learning to draw a self portrait

We first sketched what we thought we looked like into our sketchbooks.  Mrs Scott showed us how to sketch all our features.  We used watercolour paints for our artwork.

Reading

I am learning to point to the words so I don't miss any out.  I also use the pictures to give me a clue.
