Zoo Trip, by Alone

Alone worked hard last week to write a story about our trip to the zoo.  She has been learning to write stories with more then one idea and she has done a great job on this!  Keep up the good work Alone.

Tuakana-Teina Time with Room 6

This week we joined up with our buddy class to learn how to use google presentations.  We decided to create a presentation showing the words we had thought of for our blend of the week.  Our buddy from Room 6 showed us how to make the first slide, then they supported us as we had a go at doing it on our own.  They were great teachers and we can't wait to have a go on our own next week.

Here are two of the completed presentations.  More will be up soon.

Shoe, hu, su, se'evae

Today the lions reading group read the book Shoes for the King, by Dot Meharry.  It lead to a discussion on what the shoes are called in different languages.  Siale and Alone were able to teach us how to say slipper, jandel, gumboot and running shoes in Tongan. Here is a poster they have made to share with the class.  

Jovan knew the Samoan word for shoes, Se'evae, but he was unsure of the names for different types of shoes.  If you know please leave us a comment and Jovan will be able to make his own poster.  Finally Calais was very interested in the Maori words for the different types of shoes.  He is working on his poster and we will post it soon.  Do you know how to say shoe in a different language?

What Am I? By Alone

Last week we were learning to use adjectives to describe an animal.  Alone has written a what am I story.  Can you guess what animal she is describing?
