Sign Language Week

Last Friday we had a sign language class with people from Deaf Aotearoa New Zealand. We enjoyed learning how to say hello, goodbye, thank you, and our name in sign language. Here is a photo of us learning.

Air Force Museum

Last Wednesday we went to the Air Force Museum because this term we are learning about flight. When we arrived we met Chris. He taught us about the history of flight, the parts of an aeroplane, and the science of flying. We learnt four important words which were weight, lift, drag, and thrust. We really enjoyed our trip.

On the last day of last term we dressed up as what we want to be when we grow up!! We had a great day and raised money for the Canterbury Charity Hospital.

Reading in Room 6

In reading we are learning to use word attack strategies to help us when we are stuck on a word. The word attack strategies we practised today were re-reading, reading on, and looking at the picture to give us a clue. When we were unsure of the word bushline we read on and found out that it was an imaginary line at the top of the trees. We also used the pictures in the story to help us.
