Friday Fun.....

 Friday Fun Day!

Today we made toasted sandwiches.

We buttered our bread, and then added our fillings of choice from cheese, ham and pineapple.

We saw lots of stretchy cheese-yum!
















Magnets

 Some of our learners showed an interest in magnets this week, so we set up an investigation table. We have had lots of fun discovering what we can pick up with our magnets!






Duffy Show...

 We enjoyed watching our annual Duffy Show, there was lot's of laughter and enjoyment from the audience!

Duffy is one of the characters, and we discover how important learning to read is, because it can help solve problems!

Honey!



 Mrs Waddington and I got a lovely surprise from Santiago today.

What do you think might be in this jar?


It's honey-yum yum.

Santiago is telling Mrs Waddington where the honey came from.


We enjoyed hearing about your beehives Santiago. Maybe you could take a photo of them to share with us!



We can't wait to taste this delicious looking honey, thank you so much for sharing it with us Santiago.

Story time........

Mrs Waddington is reading the story 'We're going on a Bear Hunt' so that these learners can retell the story using stick puppets and other props.



 The characters are travelling through a snowstorm, a river, some long wavy grass and some squishy mud.

I wonder what they will find when they get to the cave?

maths

 Arai has done some great counting this morning. Once he had finished counting, he had to match the apple to the right tub.


                            Great maths Arai.

Fun times......

 We have been enjoying Play-based Learning outside this week. 

Here are some of the fun things we have been doing.

         Uluaki turned the blocks into drums!
He was later joined by Ui and Royston who turned their blocks into guitars-what a great band boys!


Dezire, Kalo and Santiago used the boards to make an obstacle course for balancing.

This is a fantastic challenge, great team work!

Meet our new teachers! Micaiah, Liam, Iti and Kalo are reproducing our morning calendar maths-you are all fabulous teachers.
