Term 2 Week 6 Discovery Time

This week we were looking again at 'working together' and 'negotiating' if we have a problem.
 Our activities were. squirting water on the concrete, wood work, making an alien, threading, and drawing with stencils.

learning to throw a ball

We have been learning how to make a chest pass with the balls. It is quite tricky to catch these balls sometimes. We need to remember our "W" hand shape.

A visit to the Whakatu Marae

On Tuesday the 12th of June we had to come to school earlier than usual so we had plenty of time to travel into Nelson to spend the day at the Marae. It was an amazing day. I hope your children were able to tell you lots of things they learnt. There is a full slide show of the day on our school website...

Aliens...

Today we read a book called........

We talked about what kind of alien we would be and what we might fly around space in. Plus we thought of some food we would bring to the alien picnic

I am a bang-a-dong. I have a boot as a spaceship. My boot thinks crazy. My head is a balloon…. “See I’m over the moon”. What will you be?

Miller

I am an alien. I am sloppy. When somebody puts their finger through me their finger goes straight through my sloppy body. My spaceship looks like sparkly blue and coming out of the back comes fiery watermelons. The fire is colourful.

Hugh

I am an alien. I am all colourful and sparkles come out of my eyes. My rocket is pink. When my rocket swoops through space, sparkles come out. I brang biscuits and they taste like watermelons.

Anais

I have a pink rocket. It has blue fire. It has a sloppy jelly.

Izabelle

I am an alien that lives on a planet for the alien. It was fun on the planet.

Ava-May

Louis

Ethan

Discovery Time Term 2 week 5

Today we made milo's and sat in the cafe, finished our paper sculptures, made puppet shows, made newspaper creations and played with the blocks.
We were learning to work together and had a go at some negotiating skills.

Healthy Living

Along with exercise...... like cross country running...it is also very important to eat a balanced diet. We have been looking at the types of food to eat plenty of and the types of food that are best kept for treats. Today we cut pictures out of magazines to glue onto plates.
There are more plates of Healthy food than Treat foods which might  mean you should eat twice as much healthy and half as much treats?

Cross Country 2017

On Wednesday the whole school travelled out to Rabbit Island to take part in our annual Cross Country event. It was a beautiful day and the children were awesome. They all tried their very best which was great to see and they cam buzzing past me with a smile on their faces. Way to Go Room 3!
