number fun!

We had fun ordering these numbers and then matching the  set of monsters to the correct number. We had to do a lot of counting!

Hunting for shapes!

We found some shapes in the Fale. The floor in the Fale was an oval shape. 

Luke and Rahman have found the pillars shaped like a cylinder.

Emily has found a cylinder shape in the garden 

                             Jacob and Nora found squares painted on                                           the concrete.

Zejm found a circle

Lochlan can see a rectangle on the chicken coop.

These climbing bars are in the shape of an octagon. We counted 8 sides!

We found more squares.

We also found shapes in our playground. This climbing net has squares.

Leo found a hexagon-do you know how many sides a hexagon has?

It's Green Week at Owairaka!

                                   Welcome to your first Green Week!
We are listening to some clues that will help us get to know some special places in our school.
Our clue today was to find a place where some thing stripy and squishy lives.

Here we are listening to the first clue and wondering where in our school we might go.

We are on our way to follow our clue-can you guess where we are going?

We walked to the big swan plant by the Fale and we found something stripy and squishy-it was a caterpillar. We saw lots of caterpillars!! We solved the mystery by listening to the clue. We even saw a butterfly.

Our next clue told us to find somewhere in our school where there is something fluttery. Some children had the idea that we could go to where the pictures of the butterflies were, so we headed to the Butterfly Garden.

Thank you Xavier for reading the special sign that told us this was the Butterfly Garden where fluttery butterflies like to be.

Great team work Rooms 2 and 3!

DON'T FORGET TO WEAR SOMETHING GREEN TOMORROW FOR GREEN DAY!

Our visit to the school library!

On Friday we visited the school library.  Shoes off before we go in!

Mrs Boyce loved sitting on the step and reading to us.

Latu, Artash, Mila and Aisha found some cushions to sit on.  What a comfortable spot.

Sophie and Anessa had fun reading together!

Ina used a special shelf marker to help her remember where she got her book from.

Jacob enjoyed choosing a book to read.

Room 2 and 3 children are great readers!

Jude and Leo were very busy choosing a book to read.

Thank you Mrs Cramer for coming to the library with us.

Demetrius and Rahman loved sitting on the steps to read.

What a great way to spend Friday afternoon!! We  can't wait to visit the library again.
