Building Tables

We have new building tables at school. We also have new tools to go with. Mr Dobbin came in on Monday and showed us the tools and we got to practice sawing and hammering in nails. We are going to be working in small groups with Mr Dobbin to make our own spinning tops.

Hockey

We are really enjoying our Hockey sessions - we love them so much we even play it in the rain! Enjoy the slide show of us showing off our skills.

Toy inquiry

As part of our Toy inquiry we have been looking at maori games. We have been learning the rakau and the song that goes with it. Here is the song and hopefully when we get better we will post some pictures or maybe even a movie of us doing it.

Creative Writing

We used these two pictures as inspiration for our writing. Come and read the great stories we wrote.

One day a long time ago my baot got eaten by a shark. I jumped off and I was scared. 

By Baylen

Once upon a time a shark was chasing me when I was on my jet ski. I was chasing him too because we were playing hide and seek because we were friends.

Sandcastles

Last Thursday we went into the sandpit and had fun building sandcastles. We then wrote stories about what we did. Here are some pictures and stories.

My sandcastle had a pattern on top and it looked cool and when we busted it it was funny. 

By Baylen

When we went to the sandpit we made a sandcastle and D-Jay helped me do it and we used grass and bark and we used leaves.

Space invader art

Our focus this term for art is collage. We are starting this off by looking at mosaics. Mrs Larsen showed me some art done by a street artist Space Invader. He makes art work using squares (pixels) and places them in different places all around the word. He bases his designs on the game space invader. Below is a youtube clip that gave us inspiration for our space invaders. Enjoy!

Dinosaur Measuring

As part of maths this term we are learning about measurement. Miss Nation gave us a dinosaur footprint and we had to find things in the class and outside that were the same size. It wasn't very easy to find things - check out what we found. Also don't we all look good in our school uniforms!

Skip Counting

In maths we have een practicing our skip counting - this is the song we use to help us

Boo Boo stories

We have been working very hard on our writing this term. We have been working on making our stories more interesting. For motivation we talked about our boo boo's and then wrote stories about them  and made pictures on tux paint- enjoy!

I got burnt at my dad house when we were doing fireworks  and it hurt. I said ow! Ow!  Ow! My brother got burnt on his bottom. My dad put me behind his back so I couldn’t  get burnt again.

When I was on my scooter I stubbed my toe and it hurt my toe. I went to the office and I had to get a plaster.

When I was at home I played on the jungle gym and I fell on the ground and after that I went to mum and mum fixed my sore.

Dream Ice creams

As our class treat for filling up our marble jar by - lining up quietly, sitting quietly in assemblies, walking around the school quietly and lots of other things we got to make our dream ice creams - they look delicious

5 Little Penguins

This is our favourite you tube clip at the moment - we love singing this song!

Swimming Demonstration

We had our swimming demonstration on Thursday. We showed parents what we had been working on in swimming  - floating, kicking, diving under and for some of us putting our heads under the water. Thanks to the parents that came and enjoy the pictures.

Cicadas

We have been busy finding cicada shells around school so Miss Nation decided we should learn more about them. Check out this video clip on cicadas.
