Learning for Monday 4th May...

Ko  Rāhina tenei ra.  Today is Monday 4th May Here are the activities for the day, find one that you are interested in, or do all of them, whatever suits you and your family...

To begin each day, let’s start with the karakia  Can you read our karakia with me… Activity 1:  Rhonda shared this activity with me... Can you make a hut out of blankets inside or if you have a backyard, maybe you could find a spot outside and look for a tree to hang a blanket over and build a fort... Pick a spot in your house or backyard where you can build a reading fort. Use items from your home to build your fort. You can read, draw, play games, or just enjoy hanging out in your fort. Take a photo of your fort with you reading a book inside. Tell me what things you used to build your fort with. Draw a picture of your fort and send it to me if you’d like too.

Activity 2:  Writing Time: Letter and Sound recognition:   Today I would like you to have a bit of a refresh on our sounds and letters of the alphabet… You will need a piece of paper, a pencil, and the link above.  Listen to the link first, then I would like you to listen to it again, but this time, write the letters down on your piece of paper… Can you remember them?  How many can you remember?

Activity 3:  Harold and the purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson   Listen to the story above.  Harold loved to make his own world.  He looked around him and created a story with his crayon. Take a piece of paper and choose a colour, Harold's colour was purple...what will your colour be? Draw a picture of a world that you’d like to live in, perhaps you could record yourself telling me about your picture.

Activity 4: Complete Mathletics tasks set by your teacher.

Activity 5: Log on to Sunshine Classics with your own login and read some stories or have them read to you.   Have a look at the follow-up activities too.
