Onomatopoeia !!!

BANG, STOMP, WHAM, ROAR, DRIP, SLURP, BOOM, SSSSSS, ZAP, FLAP, WOOF, BOING!!

These are all different examples of onomatopoeia. 

We had a lot of fun learning about onomatopoeia. Make sure to ask your child what it means!!

Onomatopoeia is word that describes a sound, and it is amazing how often we read it in books or even say them when talking!

We wrote a sentence using our favourite onomatopoeia and did some art! Come and check them out in class!!

Room 2 takes on the Zoo

What an amazing day we had at Auckland Zoo!

The weather was kind to us, as were the animals that were to proud to show themselves off!

We learnt about the Galapagos Tortoise and different breads of Monkeys. We got to visit them in their habitats, and John the teacher at the zoo taught us lots of interesting facts.

Papakura Marae

What an amazing experience we had on Papakura Marae. 

It was very special how they called us onto the Marae, and we slowly walked forward.

We had to take our shoes off to go into the Whare. There were so many amazing carvings in the walls and old photos of ancestors.
