Greedy Cats

Last week we were reading the big book "Greedy Cat".  To follow on from this we decided to sketch our own cats for art.  Students had to look carefully at size and position as they sketched their cats into their sketch books.  Look at the great results!

My Writing

Bella, look what  you can do with the help of a Teacher! With support you can recognise the basic words and you are beginning to use the alphabet sounds to spell longer/unfamiliar words. Keep up the great work!

Cherry Blossom Tree

As part of our Spring celebrations we created a picture of a tree with blossoms.  First students practised sketching leaves and following that we explored the different shapes of trees.  Students then painted the trunk and branches as well as a background.  The final step was to draw and cut out leaves and grass, and then create blossoms using coloured tissue paper.  A lot of learning went on during this piece of art as students used their fine motor skills to add details to their work.

Celebrating Spring

In Room 27 we have been learning about Spring.  To celebrate our learning we decided to have a teddy bears picnic.  We made delicious cupcakes, yummy old fashioned lemonade and nga tamariki were able to bring a teddy bear from home.  We really enjoyed the lemonade and cupcakes.  Some students noticed that "the cupcakes were really sweet and the lemonade was quite sour but they tasted yummy together".  We weren't scared off by the wet Spring weather either with students exclaiming "our picnic needs to be outside".  Thankfully the rain held off just long enough for us to enjoy our Spring feast.

Our Trip to Bunnings

Yesterday we went on a class trip to Bunnings.  Nga tamariki had an amazing time putting their building skills to the test and adding their own personal flair to their creations.

 

Bella you were so excited about being able to make a truck.  It was great watching you using your perseverance and patience when screwing the wheels into place.  I could see you were really proud of your creation and you loved having your Mum, Nan and brother there to share the experience with you. 

Ka pai!

Football Fun

On Friday we had some visitors come from the Football Association to teach us new skills.  It was really tricky not touching the ball with our hands.  We enjoyed playing a football game in the big inflatable field and doing the football drills.  We thought it was really funny when the man told us to put our noses on the football!
