Nau mai , haere mai  - Welcome to the Room 10 blog. We are a New Entrant class at Oranga Primary School in Auckland, New Zealand. We are part of the Te Moana whanau our whakataukī (proverb)/motto is

He waka eke noa
We are all in this waka together

Another way of looking at this is ‘We are all in this class together”, which means in Room 10 we are a team.

This year we are very excited to be using play-based learning to create an integrated holistic curriculum where mathematics, literacy, science and the arts are embedded and interwoven into the experiences and invitations to play available for the akonga/children. Teachers help facilitate the exploration of these invitations by scaffolding the play and providing the vocabulary or prompts needed to expand the opportunities to learn from this play.

We will be having a Powhiri on Friday 9th Feb at 9:30am in the school hall. This will be an opportunity to welcome new students, whanau and staff. We hope to see you there.

Our new reading game - Sight Words Ninjas

Image
In Room 10 we have been learning to play a new game called - Sight Words Ninjas This game helps us learn to recognise words that are very common in reading, they are known as 'high frequency words' or  'sight words'. To play you need: Board and Cards - with words (which are being sent home as each group learns how to play the game) Counters (you can use coins or any small items) How to play: Select some cards (include words your tamariki know and new words from their reading book, that they are learning - you do not need to start off using all the cards, 3-5 cards is fine) and place them face down in a pile. Put your counters on 'Start'. The first player turns a card over and reads the word out loud. If correct they count the letters and move that many spaces. If incorrect they put the card at the bottom of the pile and choose another card. Once all the cards have been read, shuffle the pile and pull the top card again. First...

The Magic of Maths

Image
We have been focusing on Maths a lot and how to incorporate mathematical skills into games and mathematical concepts into our play. Our focus is always number identification and knowledge (what comes before or after a number). At the moment we are also exploring the concept of measuring height and length by comparison. We are taking this concept further by building tall towers, castles and marble runs in the Ako Room  and talking about how we can make them even taller. Now we are moving into length with ramps and tracks. Be sure to check your tamariki's Seesaw account to hear the audio attached to these pictures, explaining all the mathematical learning that is involved in their play. Also check our Seesaw Blog for items tamariki want to share with the world.
