Making Bread

Just like the Little Red Hen we made our own bread. We had to mix and knead the dough and then cook it. We made bread two different ways, in a bread maker and from scratch. Tuatara Rock smelt delicious. 

Retelling the Little Red Hen

Using the talking sticks we retold the story of the Little Red Hen in smaller groups. We used the story maps we had drawn as a prompt to help us retell the story in sequence. We are getting very good at using expression and using voices for the characters. 

Measuring in Maths

This term we have begun learning about different forms of measurement. We have been reading clocks, weighing objects on scales and learning how to use rulers to measure in centimetres. This week we took metre rulers outside and measured out 

- a giraffe, 6 metres tall. 

- a Titanic Boa snake, 15 metres long. 

- a blue whale, 30 metres long.
and the wing span of a pelican, 3 metres wide.

The Little Red Hen

Team Harakeke are learning the story of The Little Red Hen. We have planned it out and retold it with the talking stick, we stepped out the story with actions and words, and then we had the perfect visitor to school. "Green", Eli's hen came to visit. Thank you Laura for bringing her to school and answering all our questions.
