House Spirit Day

On Friday we had a Spirit Day were we had to come dressed in our house colours. In the afternoon we went into our Houses and did some activities. Each house is coming up with their own flag and song so we can't wait to see what they all are. We also got house points for wearing our house colour - which house to you think won in our class - Totara = green, Puriri = red, Kauri = blue or Kowhai = yellow.

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.
