My Culture by Lillyan

My name is Lillayn. I was born in Auckland city. Both my parents are Niuean. Mum taught me how to speak Niuean. Then I had to teach my dad how to speak Niuean. When I am at home with my parents they teach me about my culture. The culture I identify with is Niuean.

Speech Finals: Lillyan

This morning Lillyan participated in the school Speech Finals with her topic, Biking. She wrote the speech all by herself and performed well in front of students and teachers. Ka pai!

Tree by Lillyan

I created a tree on my ipad. My tree has a huge trunk and skinny branches. 

My tree has green leaves. It is brown and I have no flowers.  

 

My Hair by Lillyan

My hair keeps my head warm. My hair protects my head from getting sunburnt. 

My hair is brown and long. I wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner.

Some people have no hair.

Lillyan Thanks Mrs Shortland

Today was a special day for our support staff. Our school celebrated people like Mrs Shortland, who works hard to look after all our reading resources. 

We made a Thank You card for her. We drew lots of colourful flowers and stars and we wrote about the lovely things she does for us like making our sausage sizzles and pizzas, fixing our books and getting our readers ready for us to read. 

We like Mrs Shortland because she is kind and nice to us. 

Lillyan did a little speech about our card. She told Mrs Shortland that Room 5 learners designed and made the card for her because she is our special support person.

Celebrating Lillyan's Reading Success 👏

Today Lillyan received a Duffy Award at our school virtual assembly. She did brilliantly in her 6 year net test and moved up 8 reading levels since Term 4 2019. She is reading at Turquoise 1 or Level 17. That's a huge jump. Congratulations Lillyan! 👏

A Principal's Award for Lillyan

Budding Mathematicians

We had a Geometry lesson today. The WALT (We are learning to) was to recognise and identify 2-dimensional shapes. 
The students showed their knowledge and understanding of the different geometric shapes by drawing them.

Love your drawings!😁  I'm really pleased to see you all turn up to this important lesson. 

Lillyan Attends Her First Hangout Meet

It was lovely to see Lillyan join her reading classmate, Jonathan, in this morning's group reading lesson. They read an ebook called A Small World, which describes the features of different insects that can be found on a tree. 

Well done Lillyan for attending your first Hangout Meet. 
Well done Jonathan for supporting Lillyan's reading.

Summer Time by Lillyan

In Summer time we can do lots and lots of things.

We took buckets to the beach and we made some sandcastles. We ate some yummy crackers and potato chips at my nana’s house. I like it.
