Making Hongbao

Today in our Chinese lesson, we made hongbao, red packets.

We folded red paper into thirds.
Then we folded each end over a centimetre or two.
We then cut the edges of our paper.
We trimmed two of the three folded edges.
Then glued them into place.
They look great.

 

We are going to send a message in Chinese to students at another school in our red packets!

How exciting.

Word Games

Room 19 are having a go 'building' words using phonic cubes.

Each cube has one or two letters: a consonant (such as 't') or a blend (such as 'fr'), a vowel (such as 'a') a diagraph (such as 'sh' or 'oo').
Our table challenge was to make the most interesting word.

Writing Frames

Room 19 have been beavering away making writing frames.

We've drawn pictures of flowers, leaves and berries to represent our School Houses:
Karaka, Koromiko, Kowhai, and Pohutakawa.

 

They're looking fabulous as you can see:
