Yes, you certainly are a tidy Kiwi. I like the way you used a different sentence starter for every sentence. You have understood and achieved your learning goal. You're a very good girl for completing your online learning task.

Ano te pai, Eva.

Conservation Week: Oshin's Recycling Story

 

It's good to know that Oshin and her family recycle their rubbish.  

She knows why recycling is important because we want the place we live in to be clean so that fish, birds and animals can enjoy living in their environment.

JJ, Jonathan, Luke and Oshin At Their Maths Lesson

Today's maths lesson was to count backwards to solve subtractions problems up to 50. 

It was a little tricky counting backwards when the number is bigger than 20. Room 5 students had to think very hard about the number before. 

Look, there's Lorenzo in the queue waiting for his lesson.

Conservation Week: JJ's Recycling

This week is the start of Conservation Week. Today the task was to watch a video, listen to the storyteller narrating the story, Why I Should Recycle? and then write a story about what they learnt from Mr Jones, a character in the story.
