Lily has been working really hard during Write to Self time. She is using the books from her learning box and copying out sentences into her Write to Self book. You are a great writer Lily!
For Friday Surprise Day, we continued our exploration into patterns. Today we used music to create a pattern. Can your child explain their pattern? Can you make a new pattern together?
On our Friday Surprise Day we have been looking at a variety of houses and what makes them similiar and what makes them different. Our buddy and I made a house out of playdough. We didn't peek at our buddies house while we created them but when we finished we compared our houses.
"Our houses are the same because they both have pools and have windows. Both houses have roofs but Maryam's roof is a triangle sharp and Lily's roof is a rectangle. Maryam's house has a slide but Lily's doesn't that is different."
Here is a picture of a Lily and her puppet, Rosie. We made puppets for Friday Surprise Day and our Whakangahau.
Lily was so excited to make a puppet she made one at home. Then she was able to help others make their puppets. "I was making my puppet at home and then I loved it. I put earrings on it and my Dad helped me."
Frankley School went to Nga Motu Beach. In the morning Te Kakano played in the sand. Lily used a small cup to make a line of sand towers. Then she used the top of the cup to make a pattern around each tower.
She spent a lot of time working on my sculpture. "I made lots of little sand castles and then we stopped and we jumped on them. It was fun."
After I had finished, I went and helped my friends create a castle. We used seaweed and Mrs O helped us get water from the sea. "We were getting water and then we got splashed by the big sea water."
Welcome to Lily's blog. She would love you to visit so she can share her learning journey and experiences at Frankley School. Please feel free to add any comments or ask a question.
