Book Buddies

Enjoying a book with his book buddy.

Teachers

Matthew and Brayden were playing teachers. 
Brayden was being the teacher and Matthew was the student. They were practising phonics and their letters. Brayden was showing Matthew how to write a k. They also played Authors Chair where Matthew was writing and Brayden gave him a hand for good writing and asked him to share to the others his writing.

Skittles

It was a rainy day today and Brayden wanted to play skittles.  He decided to play inside but he made up some rules in his game before he allowed some other children to join in.  Brayden ruled a line with the chalk on the carpet to show where all the children had to stand behind when they rolled the ball.  He then ruled another line to show where the skittles lined up.  Brayden discovered  that if you line all the skittles  up in one long line you can only knock one or two skittles over but if the skittles are all together in a bunch you can knock lots over!  Brayden's skittle game was very popular with some of the other children.

Writing Words

Brayden and William are learning to write words that they can read in their books.
"I can write lots of is's!" said William.
"I can write over your is Mrs Johnson" said Brayden.

Author's Chair

Brayden has been working really hard during Write to Self time. He is really good at writing the letter B in his name and now he is learning how to write the other letters in his name. Keep up the great learning, Brayden!

Brayden's Post on Monday, 3 April 2017

Today during play time, Brayden decided to work on his goal of learning how to write his name. Brayden can write a capital B and an r. Today, we were practicing on how to write an 'a' too. You are working so hard on your goal Brayden.

Listening To Stories

I am listening to stories written by Lynley Dodd on the iPad.

My Puppet

Here is a picture of Brayden and his puppet, Earl. Te Kakano made puppets for Friday Surprise Day and our Whakangahau. We had to think about all the parts our puppets would need. We also had to show persistence to make sure the parts stayed on and looked how we planned it. 

"I put the eyes on with the glue and one eye fell off. It was hard. The yellow bits are the pants."
