We are going to be writing about our weekend and are trying to add the following details...

• What we did.

• Who we did it with.

• When we did it.

• Where we went.

• Why we went there.

• How you went to the place (if you went out).

• get us ready for performance on and off the stage.
• help us learn Te Reo Maori.
• to improve our co-ordination.
• help us gain confidence and success in the arts.
• become kapa haka leaders and role models to younger children.
• build stamina and memory.

Learning to spell helps a child to develop a strong connection between the letters and their sounds and learning high-frequency 'sight words' (i.e. words that can not easily be sounded out) will assist a child in both their reading and writing.
