Over the last few weeks, Miss Bannan's writing group have been learning about some different types of poetry. We learned about similes, and used them to write a poem about the colours of the rainbow.
After our class trip into Christchurch to ride the tram and visit the new library, we used our senses to write a poem about our experiences. Lastly, we learned about nouns, verbs and adjectives so that we could write a diamante poem about summer and winter. We had lots of fun publishing and decorating our poems, and they have made the walls in our classroom very colourful! Here are some of our published poems (by Sophia, Akeilah, Mikayla, Bailee, Phoebe and Turanga).
This is a Year 3 and 4 class blog at South Hornby School. We are in the Uru Mānuka Cluster. This is a place where we will share our learning. Please note that some of it will not be complete, it will be my first drafts. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful when you leave a comment. Please check out our individual blogs as well.

The Thousands Games
It was challenging and hard some of us had buddies and some of us had to were working with the teacher on the mat.
We had to pick 4 number cards from a pack of cards and then we were given challenges of making the biggest number, the smallest number, an odd number, an even number. We had to be able to say our number out loud.

Coded Hundreds Board
In math last week we had to solve the Coded Hundreds Board. Instead of numbers the hundreds board was covered in symbols. We had to work out which symbol stood for which number.
To help us work it out we used a hundreds board.
We found out that 100 has 3 digits and the symbol started with a big diamond so therefore number 1 was big diamond.
We found this challenging but we gave it a go and we had fun.
