The Gingerbread Man

Our shared book recently has been ‘The Gingerbread Man’ so we baked our very own Gingerbread Men at school. We learned about measuring, counting, size, decorating and of course tasting! Yummo!

Buddy reading with Room 5

Buddy reading is a great way to celebrate and share our learning. Room 5 have been sharing their individual cultural inquiries with us over the last two weeks. We share our sound craft with them. This week we watched Gabi & Georgia share their highland dancing & inquiry about The History of Highland Dancing and Room 8 shared their Lion masks. 

Super star reading!!!

Mrs Hansen was lucky enough to read with Spider-Man and a Disney Princess today! 

Tumble Time races

Mr Excell and Noah racing on the scooter boards at Tumble Time. A fantastic combination of co-ordination, upper body strength, movement skills and positive social skills.

Tumble Time - Term 2

Another fantastic session at Tumble Time this term. The children explored the many different ways of using the equipment which developed their balance, strength, climbing, rolling and hand - eye co-ordination. As the children became more confident in their ability their exploration changed and they challenged themselves a little more each time. We had also been learning about 'Movement and Position' in Maths and incorporated the language of up, down, over, under and across.
Thank you so much to the Tumble Time team for allowing us to come and share in your amazing community resource!

Autumn Adventure - Tiki Tour

Today we went on a leaf hunt. We were looking for Autumn leaves. We found some leaves on the ground. They were yellow, brown, red and orange. We made a big pile of leaves and threw them up in the air for the wind to blow away. We made leaf angels and became Autumn princesses by decorating our hair. We crunched up the leaves and made a rustling sound too.

ANZAC Reserve Tiki Tour

This week we walked to our local ANZAC memorial rock. We listened to a story about a chicken and the war. We saw the New Zealand flag at the top of the flag pole, did crayon rubbings of the memorial plaque and drew pictures of poppies. We talked about why we celebrate ANZAC day and what it means for our country.
