Physical Education

Mr Crawford has been taking us for Physical Education.  He has been teaching us how to throw and catch a ball.

Wa Whanau

At Wa Whanau we made the Emperor and Emperess's new clothes.

Alfriston School

 

Thank you Alfriston School in Manurewa, for all the fantastic books.  We love reading them, and we are really good readers. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.  You have shown us lots of empathy.

The Dance

Meg and Niamh and Sky and Tasman and Lizzy did a dance.

We practiced for two weeks and it was a little bit embarrassing doing it in front of the class.  It took ages to sort out the clothes. Me and Niamh did it first and we were looking for people to do it with us.

Inquiry Treasures

I liked making the koru patterns because it is a treasure to Maori. Kaitlin

I liked making the koru because we drawed a koru and then cut it and traced it on a piece of paper and coloured it in with pretty colours. Abby

It was really fun and its a very nice thing to do. MacKenzie

I liked marking around the koru. Skye

It was fun because you could do lots of koru. It is an important part of Maori.  Maynard

Buzzy Bees

I used my buzzy bee container for noodles. I like my container. Rueben

It is very useful for other things like noodles and drink.  Loren

Red is my favourite colour. I use it for noodles. Izabella

Thank you to Franklin Baptist Church Pukekohe, U-Pic Products Dunedin and Pak n Save Sylvia Park Auckland

Visitors from the Museum

I got dressed up in olden day clothes.  It felt like it was a tight dress, the rug was itchy under my neck.  The clothes were treasures because they were old.  A little girl had them about 100 years ago. Nimah

We heard about in the olden days 160 years ago the people had to wear skirts and boys had to wear pants. The girls had to wear something uncomfortable and challenging. I liked the picture of the very big mountain. It was about when people first came here. Caitlyn

What are Treasures?

We are learning about what "treasures" are and are not. We think that treasures are often things that are very old and that they are not always treasures when they are new.

Fun Run

On Wednesday we had a fun run.  I enjoyed it because it is good for your muscles in your legs and you get a certificate for it.  I enjoyed it because I came third and I was proud of what place I came.  Nika

Fractions

We cut up the cake into 1/32. Everyone got a fraction of it. Elizabeth

We cut the cake up into fractions. It was a delicious banana cake and it had chocolate chips in it. Lauren

Beanies

Thank you for my beanie I really like it because it fits me and it is smart and warm. Ben

Thank you Emily and Maryke for the wonderful beanies. They keep us warm when it is cold. It was hard to choose one. Abby

Worry Animals

Maisie made some worry animals with her Dad.

Empathy

Anna: We made some cards to cheer Hannah up because we love her. We show her our empathy, it means we are doing something for someone that they don’t expect.

Caden: We made cards to show empathy, that is being nice to people.

Toby: We made cards that show empathy, being nice to other people and that we care for other people.

Worry Dolls

I made a worry doll to tell it all my worries at night. Last night I told it four worries and my worry doll looked after my worries. My worry doll's skin is green and its clothes are brown. Meg

I made a worry doll out of a pipe cleaner and four little beads and one big bead.  I put clothes on it with wool.  It was tricky to make. I told it my worries last night and then I put it under my pillow and it looked after my worries.  Abby

I made a worry doll.  It gets rid of your worries and I put it under my pillow and all my worries were gone.  Jaxon.

I made a worry doll.  I made a clown, a rock and a super hero.  I like making the worry dolls at home.  Last night I put it next to my soft toy dolls.  I told it my worries and it didn't remember them in the morning. Calum
