Online number line

Here is an online number line!

Start with the biggest number.
Split numbers into parts e.g. 25 = 20 and 5
Round the number to a tidy number (the nearest ten)


Happy subtracting and adding! =)

Queens Birthday

Here is some information about the Queens Birthday...
Think critically... Why do we celebrate the Queens birthday? Use your CAFE strategies, in particular EXTENDED VOCABULARY. Do you have any questions?

Many New Zealanders celebrate the Queen's Birthday on the first Monday of June each year, as New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy with the Queen of the United Kingdom being the head of state.

What do people do?

Many people have the day off on the Queen’s birthday, which is the official opening of the ski season. It’s usually held on a Monday so is part of a long weekend. The Queen's Honours list is released around the time of the Queen’s birthday public holiday. This list has hundreds of recipients, who are honoured and recognized for public service, from services to television to services to prisoner welfare



Queen Dhanvi extends a message, "Please remember there is no school on Monday children, have a happy and safe weekend"

Funky Snaps

Leanne... extremely funky!

At the end of last term we took 'funky snaps' while we were in the library. See our individual photos under the 'Photos, Media and Videos,' page. We will be using these photos to stick next to our Term 2 Learning Goals.

Term 2 Learning Goals


Hi team,

At the beginning of the term it is always great to set yourself learning goals. During the term you will work on these goals and at the end of the term you will check back and see if you have achieved your goals.

We will be doing this in class so start thinking about it now…

What is your writing goal? What do you want to achieve in writing?
Check your writing goals in your writing books. Maybe these could help you make a goal?

What is your reading goal? What do you want to achieve in reading?
Look at the reading at home section… Is there anything that you could improve on?

What is your maths goal? What do you want to achieve in maths?
We are going to be looking at measurement, fractions, decimals, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. What do you want to achieve in these learning areas?

Start thinking about how you would answer these questions! Write your ideas down to show me at school or post them on this blog!
