Term 4

Well we have all had a great break and are back for an action packed last term before the Christmas Holidays. Our topic this term is 'Our place, Our Artists'. We will be looking at the works of some local artists and hopefully spend a day in our local community looking at local artists works. We have a very busy term coming up with end of year testing, cricket and hockey coaching, swimming and six weeks of whole school AFL development. It will be an exciting time so keep checking in and remember to leave a comment at the bottom of the post so we can see who is visiting us!

Build up to Term 3 Holidays

Holiday time is near and some of us have exciting plans ahead. Read what we all plan to get up to in the next few weeks over the school holidays and also look at our wonderful pictures.

Pepeha

As part of 'our history' topic study this term we created 3d pepeha using wool, cardboard, fabric, cellophane, paper, wood, pipecleaners and buttons. The pepeha represent our whanau, our location and our favourite things we like to do. These took a while to complete but the effort was worth it and they look awesome hanging up in our room.

Kahu and the Taniwha

This week we have been reading the legend of Kahu and the Taniwha. Read the legend and look at some of our wonderful artwork.

Whanau Day

Today we had a whanau day where we had family in to share in class activities such as sign, reading, board games, outdoor games and computers. We had a wonderful turnout and our children were able to enjoy a fun morning showing off all of their wonderful skills to whanau members. At the end of the activities we had a great shared lunch with heaps of nice goodies that were enjoyed by all.
