In Room Piwakawaka we have been reading the story" A Squash and a Squeeze". We have been learning about explaining orally what happens at the beginning, middle and end of a story. We have also learnt that in stories we have characters, settings, problem and a solution. The children has exposure to new vocabulary which they were encouraged to use throughout the day. Some of the new vocabulary that the children were exposed to were: Wise, grumble, grouse, curious.
We then integrated the story into our Mathematics where the children created their own plans of houses to be able to fit the little old lady and the animals. They then created their houses using different materials like blocks, lego and play dough.
As their teacher I was so impressed with their creations and the thinking behind creating their houses as well as the problem solving involved.
The Tamariki in Room Piwakawaka had so much fun creating thier houses.
