Keruru 

The children thought of some questions they would like to find answers to about keruru.  

Some of their questions were...

How do keruru save themselves if someone is hunting them?

When keruru eat too much and get too heavy to fly properly.  When a car is coming how can they be safe?

How do keruru fly.  Do they flap their wings or glide?

Where do keruru live?

Do they have good eye sight?

How do keruru survive on the ground without getting eaten?

What sorts of berries do keruru eat?

Check out the Kiwi Conservation Club website to find some answers.

The Crocodile's Christmas Jandals

We have been enjoying the big book 'The Crocodile's Christmas Jandals' this week.  Every child has taken a copy home today to share with you.  It may not be at their instructional level, however we have read it three times so they are all familiar with it.  I have added a link to the audio version for your child to read along to if they wish.

Keep Trying

In Room 26 we persist in our learning to achieve our goals.  To do this we keep trying and then we can do it. We read the book 'Keep Trying' to help us learn to not give up when things are difficult.

We made some bunting with important 'Keep Trying' messages on it.

 

 Max said he had to keep trying while he was learning to fold up the milk cartons.
Angel said she has to keep trying when she is learning her words.
