 In maths this week, we are learning to identify finger patterns.

We got together with a buddy to match finger patterns to the number.

Wheels day

 Please see the information below about wheels day this Friday.

If you are bringing wheels to school, please park bikes and scooters in the racks by our Tuatahi steps, while skateboards and roller blades can be bought into the classroom for safe keeping.

A very special visit

 Look what landed on our school field this morning......the police helicopter!

Can you see the big camera underneath the helicopter? 

It was super exciting to watch it land and take off. 

We hope you enjoy looking at these pictures of our helicopters!

Have a wonderful weekend-ka kite

Fun Friday!!

 We have had all types of weather today-wind, rain, and even sun!!

This week our focus was on Manaakitanga where we thought about using kind words, friendly voices and helping others.

We caught lot's of our tamariki showing Manaakitanga this week-it was so nice to give out so many pink tickets!

We ended our week with Pink Day-great to see so many of our whanau turing up in pink!

Our Street....

 We have been very busy making houses for our street!

I am sure you will agree, they look awesome!

More science fun

 We had another fun morning with our Tuakana Teina this morning. We got together to do some more science.

This time we watched how different ingredients react with each other. We learned new science words like reaction and gas.

Here are some photos of us in action!

We had a great morning learning together with Room 8.

Ka Kite, have a great weekend .

Science fun!

 We had a lovely morning with our Tuakana Teina-our big buddies from year 5/6 when they came over to Tuatahi to make paper helicopters with us.

Here we are working together to cut and fold our paper helicopters.

                  Let's see if we can make them fly!

We had a great time with our Tuakana Teina, and we can't wait until Thursday when we get together to do our next experiment together!

Road safety week.....

 

This week is Road Safety Week!  Here are some ways we can be road safety superheroes:

• always use the school crossing

• walk, bike or scooter to and from school 

• scooter at a safe speed and keep a look out for cars going in and out of driveways

• wear a helmet when you are on your bike or scooter

• be SAFE in cars - Seatbelts Are For Everyone!

Small things make a big difference - stay safe Owairaka!

Welcome back!

Kia ora and a big welcome back to term 2.

It is so nice to see our lovely learners and their whanau back at school.

We have a busy term with lot's of exciting learning planned.

This term we are learning about shapes. Did you know shapes are everywhere! When you are out and about together, see what shapes you can discover.

We have been reading a big book called 'Our Street'

Does your child know the name of the street they live in?

Have a great weekend!
