Illustrating Adjectives

Our poem of the week was The Googies by Shel Silverstein. 

We used this poem to identify adjectives. Then we had a go at creating fonts for each word that show their meaning. Here are some of the results.

Saturday Sport Action

Check out some of the learners in R5 playing their Saturday sports! Way to go guys.

Hawaiian eruptions get their names from the Kilauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii, which is famous for producing spectacular fire fountains.

Duffy Assembly @duffybooks #booksinhomes

Yesterday we had our first ever Duffy Hero Assembly. It was an awesome experience. The hero was Te Kohe Tuhaka, a NZ actor. He was a great speaker and he taught us a lot about the importance of reading. Here are some of the highlights from the assembly.
