Lily is definitly a fish! She loved the beach today when we went to Waikuku beach for Beach Education. She is also very knowledgable about how to keep herself safe when around water.

====This is Lily doing her silly sentence in phonics today. She has listened to the sentence and then written it out all on her own. Oops! you forgot the 'a' in your sentence. Make sure you read it again to make sure it all makes sense. Great work Lily, time to move on to the next stage.====

=14/3/2012 - We are learning to recognise numbers to from 0-100= ====Lily and Emma have been helping each other in maths this week. We have been using the number fans to show a number to each other to see if they know it. We take turns, and make sure that the numbers are not too hard. We set challenges for each other to develop our thinking.====

Lily worked so hard on her handwriting today that she was sent to Mr Kemp for a principals award sticker. Keep it up!


=15/3/2012 - We are learning to write a description.= ====Weka have been writing descriptions. Here is Lily's work she has published. I am sorry that some of it is hard to see, the light was not great when I took the photos. Feel free to come into class and the real work up on the wall. It is always much better in person.====

=21/3/2012 BIG IDEA - CHANGE IN OUR COMMUNITY - WHY THE PAST IS IMPORTANT TO PEOPLE= ====We have looked a lot at the past and present this term. Looking at the buildings around Waikari and trying to understand why looking after things that are old is important to people in our community. All the Wekas had to come up with a question about the building they had chosen. Once we decided on our questions we invited a range of people from our community in to talk with us. We found out some very interesting things about our community. Here is Lily asking her question to her Dad.====

=26/3/2012= ====Every term we focus on one of the school's PRIDE values. This term we have been looking at respect. How we show respect to other people, to ourselves and our things. Today we talked again about what we can do to show respect and had some time to show some of the skills we have been working on. Lily is showing great respect in both of these photos.==== ====In the first photo she is helping Hannah and Arabella to read a story about Strawberry Shortcake. After handwriting the students are asked to find a book quietly to look at while other people finish their work. Lily used such a lovely quiet voice to make sure she was not disturbing anyone else.==== ====In the second photo, Lily found a pencil near her desk. She found out who it belonged to, and asked if she could borrow it before using it. Great work Lily, you are very respectful of other people in Weka.====
