We popped over to see what Pappy was up to. He is building a pizza oven..... very cool.

 

Cakestall to raise money for our trip!

 

We are making te reo sentences. It is really fun.  We have to think about the sentence structure and the words and where they go. We also need to think about what to fit in to make it more informative. Leila is helping with the descriptions. Petra is good at looking up and researching new words. She corrects them if they are wrong. Skylah is keep us all on task and we are taking turns writing it up.

 

We were learning about the four parts of hauora and what they mean.

We had to think really hard about it and understand it properly to come up with our designs. We used blending and light and dark to create impact in our artwork.

I really enjoyed doing this work. It got my mind into the creative and I had a lot of fun designing with meaning. Aurora

 

Room 11 are learning ways to memorise te reo. This is copying actions for the words. Some prefer picture writing and others prefer acting out the sentence.

 

Room 11 and Room 3 gave a presentation today to the lovely people from Island Birdsong. They gave the children certificates and invited our classes back again in 2 years! We are so looking forward to returning.

 

Room 11 are learning how tides work. Reading the instructions is a challenge and because we have no cork they have to come up with innovative alternatives. There is much complaining!
