Term 3 Week 9

Junior School Poem Presentations

This week each student in Te Kakano presented their chosen poem to the class. The focus was to introduce the poem, speak clearly and loudly, stand on one spot and look at the audience. The students gave each other polite feedback afterwards. They certainly made their teacher very proud. We have some wonderful orators in the making!! Ka pai to mahi tamariki! 

April's poem - 'Rain Rain'

Mia's Poem - an original about her class

                                       

Isaiah - 'Hairy, Scary Spider'

                        

Thomas - 'Space'

Liam - 'Space'

Anahera - 'Hairy, Scary Spider'

Nova - 'Rain'

Halo - 'Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer'

Patrick - 'Space'

Kyrie - 'Space'

Ivy - 'Lollipop Lollipop'

 

 Here we are, 'Proud and Passionate' leaders of our own learning!

Lovely little seeds who took up the challenge to learn a poem off by heart and to present it to the class. Everyone certainly deserved  their certificates.

This week students at Paparore school also received a lovely warm jacket from Kids Can. Te Kakano students loved their jackets so much that they didn't want to take them off.

Thank you KIDS CAN! 

Term 3 Week 7 2020

 There is no place like SPACE!

Te Kakano students are enjoying their learning about space.

We are learning about each planet, the sun, our moon, day and night, galaxies and constellations. In our classroom we have a Space Station and Rocketship called the Space Explorer NZ. We have turns at putting on the space suit and blasting off to explore the solar system with a friend. Before taking off we have to complete a flight plan and pre-flight check. 

                                         

                                                  

                                                 

Check out our blog next week for an update on our learning about SPACE. Thanks for checking in. We hope you left a comment because we love reading them.
