Artwork - 
For our artwork this Term we have done some drawings and patterns to resemble nouns such as: Chickens, capes, calendar art, with hearts (because of the shooting in christchurch), ducks, tuis, and other native birds. 

Inquiry -
For our inquiry we have been investigating our school mural. We have been making claims, asking questions, using supporting evidence, refuting evidence and building on our ideas. 

Writing - 
For writing we have been splitting into green writers, orange writers and blue writers. We go to different workshops based on our colours. We have been writing descriptive sentences. At the start of the term we also wrote bio poems.

​Maths - 
For maths we have been learning about place value, tidy numbers, and partitioning. Our class is very happy that the new update for Maths Whizz is here!
