Whanau Day

Today we welcomed our parents and grandparents into Room's 8,9 & 10 to see us in our Learning Environment:

We welcomed our visitors by sharing our Pepeha and singing them a few of our favourite songs.

Then we went about our business of Learning through play....

Here are a few photos of our day!

Thanks for coming Whanau....we loved sharing our Learning Environment with you all!

PLAY BASED LEARNING in Term 3

SCIENCE IN A VAN

On Friday 21st September the Year 2/3 and 4's were lucky enough to see the SCIENCE road show  SCIENCE IN A VAN

We learnt about mixtures and lots of other things...it was lots of fun.

Check out some of the photos

Miss Washington sat on a seat of hard nails....

Look it didn't even hurt!  HOW COME?

WHAT HAPPENED?

THEN HE USED HELLIUM GAS ...he was determined to make those bubbles touch the roof!

"WOW that was pretty cool didn't you think?"

Procedural Writing

We have been learning how to record and explain how to do or make things...this is what we call Procedural Writing:

The rules for this are:

1)Give your writing a title:

2)Record what you need in list form

3) List sequential steps required to make or do the task.

*EACH STEP is to begin with a BOSSY VERB

So far we have made:

TOAST

JELLY

BUTTER

NEXT WEEK WE PLAN TO MAKE LEMONADE!
