Print Making

Autumn was a wonderful source of motivation for the beginning of our print making unit for art.
We are learning how to make create prints using different media - and the autumn leaves made a perfect print block.
We painted the leaves and pressed them onto paper using a printing roller.
The work we did looked so good it got put on display in one of the public areas of the school.

Mums and Maths

We had an enjoyable Mums and Maths session on Friday 19 May.
Lots of games were played and it was lovely to see the children showing such great HEART values.
Big thanks to the mums who were able to come and help.

What a great tower!!!

Science Learning in The Landing

We have begun our inquiry about Simple Machines.
We are learning all about force and the six types of simple machines.
 Stay tuned for us sharing more of our learning!
In the meantime, here is a photo of us sorting a range of simple machines into different categories.

I wonder if this is a lever or a screw? An inclined plane or wheel and axle? A wedge or a pulley?
Simple machines are all around us and they are really interesting!

HEART in The Landing

We all enjoy learning about how we can show our HEART values during the day.
We made some fabulous capital Hs with our buddy class and have displayed them on the wall in Room 10.

This term we are focusing on Aroha and Hauora.
We will be thinking about using kind words and kind actions with each other.

Yay! It's Autumn!

Welcome back to Term 2.
We hope you have all had a wonderful holiday.

We have been enjoying the lovely sunny autumn weather and have been wandering around the school collecting crunchy leaves from our deciduous trees.
We are going to use these in our art lessons, as well as sorting and classifying them.
