Our visit from Harold

This week our friend Harold brought Kaaren to school to talk to us about our lungs and what we need to have to be happy and healthy! It was great to learn in the big caravan. We learnt about how we breath in oxygen and we get oxygen from trees and how we breath out carbon dioxide. Kaaren and Harold also told us about the 9 things we need to be happy and healthy - do you remember what these 9 things are?! n

Cooking with Paty

On Friday we had Discovery Time. Paulina's mum came to do some cooking with us using the cauliflower from the garden! We all had a turn at chopping, cooking, slicing, mixing and tasting! We made a Mexican dish called Butter Caulifower! It was delicious!

Colour!

We made these colour wheels. We learnt that there are hot colours: yellow, red and orange. We also learnt about cold colours: blue, green and purple. Next we made these Taniwhai using our Drama of 'The Taniwhai and the 3 Woolly Coats Fluff' as inspiration. We coloured our Taniwhai by using complimentary colours. These colours are opposite on the colour wheel: red and green, yellow and purple, blue and orange. Haven't we produced quality work!

In the weekend...

These handsome boys have been working hard on their writing. Their goals for writing are to: write across the line, use finger spaces, use their alphabet card to help write tricky words and letter sounds. They were so proud when they got sent to Mrs Te Amo to show off their author skills! Didn't they do well!
