November 8 Update from Greg

Kia ora tātou,

I hope you all had a great weekend! It was warm yesterday, wasn't it? 

I have given everyone new reading tasks – please see your Pānui Daily 5 Weekly Planners. This week a focus will be on the bossy R vowel sound. This a special long sound that we make in words like car, for, term, bird and turn. Do you see how there is an R after the vowel (A, E, I, O, U) in each word? Think about this makes a long sound. I noticed that a lot of your confused this vowel sound when you identify words like "car" or "far" as being CVC words. "Car" and "far" are definitely not CVC words – they use the bossy R. We will look at this more in our Zoom meeting today.

Thank you to those who have finished their statistical enquiry surveys. I have posted them under "Pāngarau" for everyone to answer like this:

I will show you during our Zoom meeting. We all need to answer each other's surveys so we can collect data to analyse. We will look at this more this week. So could everyone please answer Thai, Tyson, William and Yazeed's surveys? Everyone else, please finish yours so we can answer them too. Maybe you can get some ideas from these students. 

You can also find a new word search for "City of Bugs" and there is a new literacy mystery

See you at 10AM – the link is the same as always!

Greg :)
