Nativity Play, We're all going to sing

Please sing along to these songs, it is still reading!

We are learning to read the words for our Nativity Play songs.

This Place Is Jumping

1 All around the town this place is jumping,

Everybody’s packing up their things.

All around the town this place is jumping,

Something really big is happening.

CHORUS A decree has come from Caesar

And you must travel home,

If you don’t the guards’ll seize ya

And you’ll find yourself in Rome!

2 We’re all getting ready for our journey,

Everybody’s packing up their things.

We’re all getting ready for our journey,

Something really big is happening.

CHORUS

3 Night is here and soon we must be leaving, Everybody’s packing up their things.

Night is here and soon we must be leaving,

Something really big is happening.

CHORUS

I’d Rather Have A Bale Of Hay

1 We’ve been walking for many hours

Along this road so long.

Underneath the stars so bright,

We’re plodding on all through the night,

Still we’ve many miles ahead

Before we " nd somewhere to rest our heads.

We’re dreaming of a nice hot meal, a bed on which to lie, Imagine how good that will feel,

Donkey

I’d rather have a bale of hay!

2 We’ve been walking for many days

Along this road so long.

Underneath the stars so bright,

We’re plodding on all through the night,

Still we’ve many miles ahead

Before we " nd somewhere to rest our heads.

We’re dreaming of a nice hot meal, a bed on which to lie, Imagine how good that will feel,

Donkey

I’d rather have a bale of hay!

3 We’ve been walking for many weeks

Along this road so long.

Underneath the stars so bright,

We’re plodding on all through the night,

Still we’ve many miles ahead

Before we " nd somewhere to rest our heads.

We’re dreaming of a nice hot meal, a bed on which to lie, Imagine how good that will feel,

Donkey

Oh please give me a bale of hay!

Happy Tongan Language Week!

Here is some reading, maths and appreciation of Tongan language!

WALT

Extend your vocabulary, enjoy a story and learn about being kind. All rolled into one story!

Learn the duffy song in sign

Or try you hand ( excuse the pun) at a slightly easier song.

Here are a few extra activities for curious minds. Obviously you are curious as you have scrolled down to the botton of the class site ocean.....

Activity for all

WINDOWS and Mirrors

WALT Think deeply about text.

Make connections between the text and prior experiences.

When you have finished reading the story or istening to the story that your teacher reads, go here. You are going to show the windows and mirrors from this text. Remember to name your work and file it into your literacy folder before you start.

Activity for all

With a buddie

Enjoy a text together from your independent box or your book bag or the library. Ensure it goes back in the right place. NOTE- you can be in different reading groups and share a text. You could support your buddie and vice versa to read a page each or read to them.

What do you know about Matariki? We will be learning about this leater in the year.
