Bubble Writing

During writing time we watched a short film by Gabby Zapata, called 'Bubbles'. 
We decided to retell the story in our own words.  We had to think carefully about sequencing the events correctly.  
You might like to watch the video clip before reading our e-book of bubble stories.

My Marvellous Dad

We listened to a story called My Dad is Brilliant, written by Nick Butterworth.  We decided to write about our own Dads.  We made our Dads their own special Fathers Day book, telling them all the things we love about them.  You can read about our Marvellous Dads by clicking on the book below.

1863 School Day

The junior school went back in time yesterday. We travelled back to 1863 and found out what school life was like.  We experienced what it was like to be in classroom in 1863 and had a visiting teacher "Miss Williams" (Rachel Checketts from Central Museum) take our class.  She was very strict.   We made our own butter and make jam sandwiches which we wrapped up in newspaper.  We played old fashioned games like hopscotch, tag, pass the glove and remember the objects.

Snow Farm

On Friday we spent the day the Wanaka Snow Farm.  We had lessons in the morning and then in the afternoon we went tubing and explored some of the trails.  What an awesome day! Thank you to all the wonderful parents who came along to help out and enjoy the day with us.  

Guess the animal

On Monday we read 'Rumble in the Jungle'. We decided to describe our favourite jungle animals. Can you guess what animals we have written about?

Movement and Position

During Maths this week we have been looking at position words. We have been following and giving instructions that use words like up, down, over, under, through, between, beside and many more.  We hid objects around the classroom and tried to give our buddy instructions that helped them to move around the classroom and find the objects.  We learnt that you need to give really clear instructions so that your buddy is able to find the object that you have hidden.
We also had lots of fun on the adventure playground creating obstacle courses for our buddies to try.  We had to listen carefully to all of the instructions and try to remember where to go.

100 Day Celebrations

100 Day Celebrations

On the last day of Term 2 we celebrated 100 days at school.  We had a PJ day and began our celebrations with a shared breakfast of pancakes, fruit, and toast.  We did lots of counting to 100 in 1's 2's and 10's.  

We thought about what we would like to achieve by the time we are 100 years old and wrote down some of our ideas.  We also created ripped paper collages of what we might look like when we are 100 years old. Click on the pictures below to view our artwork and read our 100 ideas.
