3 Ways to Read


We are learning that there are 3 Ways to Read.  We had a go at the first way to read.

1.     Read the Pictures.


Look After Others - Co-operative Learning


Manaakitia tenei whanau - We are family in Kowhai Toru and we are learning to work with a buddy using the ipad for learning during reading, writing and math time.

Te Reo with Matua Victor


Kia ora Matua Victor.  Kowhai Toru are learning how to greet each other using Te Reo Maori.

They need to know that:

Tena koe - means - Hello to one person

Tena korua - means - Hello to two people

Tena koutou - means - Hello to three or more people
