S.U.H.U.P.U - Oral language activity!

STAND UP,  HAND UP,  PAIR UP

Room 17 learnt about a new way to help consolidate their learning.  Each child has a question related to something we've learnt during the week or last term. When music plays, they have to kanikani around the room & when it stops, they have to put their hand up & pair up with the person closest to them.  You give your new buddy a 'high five', say Kia Ora, then each person has a turn at asking a question.  Once that's done, they swap cards, the music starts & they move on.

STUDENT VOICE:

- "This helps us remember what we've learnt during the week"
- " If I come across the same question again & I didn't know the answer the first time, I do now"
- " I learnt about when the Treaty of Waitangi was signed because I'd forgotten"
- " My friend helped me to answer what number was one less than 635,000 - 634,999
- " There was only one part of the Statistical Inquiry Cycle that I didn't know - I know now!"
- " Abel Tasman was the first Dutch person to sight New Zealand"
