Koru 2 Bromley

This term we are learning the story of Apollo 13. Last week we listened to the story and talked about the parts that we liked or any questions that we had.  There was lots of conversations happening around space and astronauts...we have many wonderings about astronauts in particular. We made a super quick story map showing the main parts of the story and then used this to help us step the story.  This is the part of the storytelling process where we say a word and show an action that represents each image on our story map.  It helps us to recall the events of the story quickly, easily and in the right order. Myrah discovered a comic version of the story is available on our reading app Epic! This is the longest story we have learnt through the storytelling approach, so it might take us a while to really remember lots of the details!  We are hoping to take a copy of our story maps home so that we can practise retelling the story ...

It has been so nice to see our Koru 2 tamariki back for term 4.  Our first week has been filled with discussion around the important topic of friendship, Kiwisport athletics practice, Maths with a focus on multiplication and division, sunshine and rainy days. Our 6 tamariki have begun an Interest Project all about their time at Bromley School looking back to look forward.  They have been enjoying reminiscing with each other and sharing stories of some of their most memorable highlights, challenges and main events. Shania's Wednesday Art club went with a Halloween theme this week making hand traced ghost chains.  Senior and Junior students worked energetically alongside each other and had a great time.
