We are learning about the magic 'e'

A magic 'e'at the end of a word changes short vowels into loooooong vowels.

Check out our magic 'e' song we are learning.

Counting in groups of 10's

We love number time after lunch. Here are some of the songs we sing to get our brains ready for number brain training!!

Number time looks like this in Kowhai.....

We are counting groups of ten to put in each egg cup holder to help us "see" what counting in ten looks like. It is faster to count in 10's than to count in 1's all the way to 100.

On the left our newest Kowhai kids are working together to make the tallest tower with lego. The tower kept falling down but they did not give up and decided to hold it so it wouldn't fall down.

Athletics day

Athletics Day was a busy day - in the morning we had long jump, high jump, vortex throw, shot put and games (egg and spoon and sack races).

For the rest of day we had middle distance races - 2 laps around the field and sprints!!!!!!!!

We wore our house colours - yellow, green, red and blue.

Thank to all the families who came to cheer for us.

Go girls.....
  

Go boys.....
