Book Trailer by JJ
This term we have learnt about book trailers. Book trailers are special video advertisements, sort of like film trailers, only these are for advertising books. We have been having a go at making our own book trailers. Here is one about "The Tale of Despereaux".

Our First Few Weeks of School
We've had a great time during our first weeks at school. We've read "The Hole in the King's Sock" by Dot Meharry and "Is That An Earthquake" by Jennifer Cooper.
We have learnt a new place value game called "Traffic Light". It's fun and it helps us to learn about 3 digit numbers. Today we learnt a new place value game "Close to 100" but we find that one a bit tricky at the moment.
We have been learning about the Treaty of Waitangi and Mrs McGhie read us a really cool book about the Treaty House - the house in the book could talk!!! But, we know that it doesn't in real life.
We've written a recount about what we did in the holidays. We had to use the 5 W and 1 H questions to organise our thinking.
We are going to be learning all about New Zealand this term. Please keep visiting our blog to hear all about our exciting learning.
