Playdough characters

This afternoon in room 16 we used playdough to create characters from the storybooks we have in our class library. We also took it in turns to paint our hooks that we made last week for Maui and te ika, but we can't show you them just yet!

For now have a look at the sweet pictures of the kids using playdough and managing themselves responsibly and respectfully.

Have a great day!

Stretchy jellyfish

For our writing today we watched the really awesome live feed from Monteray Bay Aquarium of Jellyfish. 

Then we wrote our sentences together based on what we had seen and discussed. We are learning to become independent writers.

Making Maui's waka

Today created our own boats from tin foil, and practiced our skills at working with out friends. Look at our cool pictures!

Learn Create Share: Week 7 + 8

Hello everyone!
Last week we started doing our first Learn Create Share project. This means we Learn about a topic, then we create something about this topic, then we share it via our blog (or we send them home). Check out the power point below.


Over this two weeks we have been learning about Kupe and Te Wheke! We watched and listened to the story about how Kupe battled Te Wheke after Te Wheke was stealing fish from the villagers. We made our own copies of Kupe and Te Wheke to put on our display. We have also been working on making our own Te Wheke! Today we have painted them and we need to add their legs so we will soon see pictures of them shared on the blog. They look pretty awesome so far!

Thanks everyone,
Miss Rayner
