Swimming

We have had lots of fun splashing, floating and diving at Wharenui Pool.

Look at us float, kick, stroke and paddle.

We also enjoyed a fun session of water polo games.

Strawberries and Ice Cream

We have been watching our strawberries growing in our strawberry box.

On Monday we saw that we had 4 juicy, red strawberries.

Today we ate them with creamy, crunchy hokey pokey ice cream.

It was delicious and it was a real treat!

I wonder who got to eat the strawberries that we grew? They were all chopped up and mixed together with strawberries from a supermarket.

 "Mmmm, scrumptious!" said Adam

Some of us stirred up our ice cream to melt it and make it smooth and runny!

Athletics Day



Red Hat thinking - our feelings



Yay! We had such a great time today

running, jumping and throwing

at our Athletics Day.



Here are some of our reflections...



Yellow Hat thinking - all the good things!



Black Hat thinking - the
'not-so-good' things

We are all such great athletes!

The teachers thought we were wonderful because we made excellent Mahi Pai choices!

Helping Others

 We have been talking a lot about all the people who

help us and what are some things that we can do to

help others.

Miss Burgess found a food bank bag

and we decided that it would be a good idea to use it.

We talked about what 'donating' means and read through the list

of items that would be helpful to donate.

We have collected all this food!

We think it feels really good to GIVE.

We feel proud of ourselves for helping others.

Planet Projects

This is us working really hard to find information about one of the planets we have chosen.

MERCURY   VENUS   EARTH   MARS   JUPITER   SATURN   URANUS   NEPTUNE   PLUTO       

We are looking in books and using the index pages to search for facts.

Our projects are nearly finished and we are making paper planets to go with them.

Come and have a read! 



Spring Writing

This week we have finished our Spring writing.

We had to use our senses to write about this season.

Now they are on display and they look bright and colourful with our dancing daffodils we made.

Taking Turns Explore Galore

We had more space fun in Room 10 today!

We made space boots and pretended we were walking on the moon with no gravity.

 We also made paper plate suns, playdough aliens and decorated moon rocks.

We were learning to TAKE TURNS so we had to remember to be patient, co operate and use our manners.
