Welcome back to YMS!

Welcome back! We hope you have had a great summer break and have enjoyed the pool weather!

We're rocking right back in and are enjoying swimming and joining up to learn how we can continue to be YMS Heros in 2018.

We've had a great start to the week hearing about holiday trips, play dates with friends and learning our new routines!

Remember to get your sunhats and sunblock ready, along with your togs for swimming lessons with our SwimSafe Tutors next week!

Sketching

On a beautiful sunny day, what is better than to sit in the sunshine and quietly sketch the world around us!

Floyd Visits

Kade's Aunty Christine is looking after Floyd. Floyd came to visit and Kade told us all about Floyd and his holiday with Aunty Christine. His owners are having a holiday on the other side of the world. We were very lucky to get to meet such an awesome dog.

We are visited by 3 Goats...

Angus brought his 3 goats in to show us. We all enjoyed asking questions and finding out about how to care for goats.

Learning the Recorder...

In Te Māhuri we all have a weekly recorder lesson with Mrs White. We learn how to read music, play different rhythms and about different instruments and types of music. Learning music is a great way to get lots of different parts of our brains working. And it's lots of fun!

Here are two songs from one of our latest performances...

Recorder Group 1: Jazzamatazz

Recorder Group 1: The Chicken Cluck Waddle

Reading Slide show Must Do's

These are some of our Reading Must do's- We created Post Cards to Astronauts currently in Space! Some of the Astronauts have even been there for 139 days so far, we hope we receive a response soon! 

A reading group read a story about Watercress and wanted to find out how we could use watercress in the kitchen! YUM! 

Year 4 Blogs

Year 4 Blogging 

This term we have been using our individual learning blogs to share our wonderful learning. We have also been looking at blog's and blog comments within our school and wider community. 

We would love for our families to visit our blogs to see our amazing learning and our blogging progress throughout the year.
You can visit our individual blogs on the right-hand side of our classroom blog. 

We do ask that you kindly take the time to write:  

  1. Something positive- something you like about what I have shared. 

2. Thoughtful - A sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what I had to say

3. Something thoughtful - how have you connected with my learning? Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
