Pirate Day

We dressed up as pirates on "Speak like a Pirate Day." It was lots of fun.

Spring Table

Our Spring Table is looking very colourful with all of our lovely daffodils.Thank you to Pippa, Greer and Bella who all went to Waipuk to pick them in the weekend. Our bean seed now has a shoot popping out. We can see it so well with our magnifying glass. Our celery stem and leaves have turned blue and this shows that plants need water to survive. Hayley bought a lovely lamb photo. Lambs love to skip and dance in the sunshine.

Designing a Spring Farm

Today in Discovery we designed a Spring Farmyard. Horses, barns, tractors, trucks, farm houses, animals and people were made. We worked with a buddy and did beautiful sharing, waiting and 

co- operating.

Kevin the Robot

So many children have enjoyed demolishing old phones using screwdrivers and scissors. We have talked about all the bits that make up a phone, especially the circuit boards and wires. We then glued all the bits together to make Kevin the Robot. Watch this space for stories of his adventures.

Busy Children

Mrs Kelly decided to bake some scones this morning. Sinead, Priyanka and Greer were great helpers. They had to rub in the butter and then knead the dough.

                                   Now Mrs Kelly cut the dough mixture in half and then in half again.
                                   This made quarters. The dough was now in 4 pieces.

Xanthia and Pippa had to brush on the milk.

Pippa and Sophia were tidying up after baking. Great work girls!!

 It was going to be the boys turn later on.

                                                    How many words can you write??

                                 We built sky towers, bridges and tunnels to go on our road.

Exploring How to Cross the Road Safely

Next week we are going to go on a trip into town. We are doing an art trail. Because of this we have been learning lots of things about being safe on and around roads. Today when we made a town road we had to include a railway line just like in Hastings. We practised crossing after a train has passed. We also included crossings with buzzers just like in town and practised waiting for the pretend buzzing signal before we crossed.

 It was fun working together in a group. We learnt to share, to wait and to listen to our class friends.

Hats hats hats!!!

We made hats for our wearable arts parade. We were so proud because we made them by ourselves. We got to walk around in a circle in front of our hub. It was funny.

Busy Kids in Room 6 and 7

We were building a hotel with straw construction sticks. Look how high it is!!!

 During Matariki Week we learnt how to make a star with strings. It was great how we could work together. We also played knuckle bones. What a lot of fun!!

Congratulations to Jazz and Che for getting "Player of the day". A great effort. Keep it up.
