What is it?

We have been learning how to create senses poems in our writing. Last week we made poems about our favourite food. We discussed what it sounded, looked, smelled, felt and tasted like.

I can hear water boiling.
I can smell rice cooking.
I can see some small things
I can feel something soft and hot.
I can taste something yummy.

What could it be? 

Rice and chicken - Hiroto

I can hear chewing.
I can smell something sweet.
I can see the blue icing.
I can feel something soft.
I can taste something yum.

What could it be?
A cupcake - Cruze

Come and see all of our sense poems displayed in our classroom.

E hia nga? How many?

The students have been learning about numbers in Te Reo. We wanted to show off our knowledge by modelling asking each other how many? and answering in Te Reo.

Dominic "E hia nga?" (How many?)
Lochlin "toru" (3)
Lochlin "E hia nga dinosaurs?" (How many dinosaurs?)
Dominic "Rua" (2)

Tūmeke boys!
