Life Education Trust

We met Harold the Giraffe in the Life Education truck. We learned about feelings, and how to turn negative feelings into happy feelings.

Our waka

He waka eke noa!

 ..and here is Katrina. It is Wheels Day!

Art

Soft pencil and charcoal art. We learned to sketch, shade with charcoal and rub with our fingers to make the charcoal blend in. Tumeke!
(P.S. You could hear a pin drop!)

Our art...

We have been learning about Aotearoa, our stories and our people. We have been putting together a waka with all of our art works. Our work is nearly finished...!

Billie Bear, meanwhile, has been visiting quite a few children. Here he is, showing off their work!

Bye Billie, see you tomorrow!

This week...

Today Mr Hunt came to school with Pepetuna, the Puriri moth. We shared a book, we decorated a poem, and...we made our own Pepetuna. It takes 5 years for one to hatch and then they live for only a day or two. They are very beautiful!

On Fridays we also share something we bring from home. Can you see our question keys in the middle of our circle?  We ask questions that start with one of these words.

Here is also our schedule for the interviews next week. Please phone our school office if you would still like to see me for an interview and you're not on the list!

Hundreds, Tens and Ones!

Fred and Ben are learning to break 3 digit numbers into Hundreds, Tens and Ones. They can do it really well. We then made numbers using Hundreds, Tens and Ones. Making 1000 was a bit of a challenge!

Billie Bear

For many years now, Billie Bear has been part of Room 1. He goes home with a Room 1 child for one night. They draw or write about  their adventures with Billie in his book. They share their story the next day.

Billie has had a bath, his clothes have been washed, and he has a new carry bag. Lucky Billie!
