We hope you all had a fantastic holiday! it is sooooo good to be back :) 

This morning we talked about all of the classroom routines and what to do before school to refresh our memories. We picked new places to sit and got our new stationary for this term. We talked about how it is our responsibility to look after our own stationary. 

We learnt a new Maori word. This is our word for the week. 

E hoa - said 'air hor ar'

it means friend. 

We learnt to say:

Ko   (name)   taku hoa

(name) is my friend.

We came up with some other sentences that we can use this word in :) 

This morning we also learnt about feed back and feed forward. We know that it is when we tell people what they have done well and what their next steps could be. We talked about how we say this in a positive way and how we can act on feedback that we have been given. We acted out role plays in small groups to show what feedback and feed forward looks like. 

We wrote stories about our holidays using our 5 senses. We only picked one thing that we did in the holidays so for homelink we could write another story that uses our senses to describe.
