Our Assembly

On Friday we hosted assembly. The children shared a dance, some songs and their artwork.

Technology and Visual Art

Our Minion Story

 This term we have been learning about technology.  We know that technology is human made and is made for a purpose.

During the term we  have explored our own imagination and creativity through drawing and writing about our idea's for new technology.

As part of a school wide focus to beautify and re use resources in our school we decided to make a planter to make our school fun and playful. Our theme for our planter was something dear to the children's heart the movie "Despicable Me" (our rainy day lunch time movie) and our favourite characters the Minions.

We explored how we would make our Minion. What  shapes and colours did we need. Would our Minion have one eye or two?

We found pictures of tyre Minions on Pinterest.  We had tyres we could use at school.

We worked as a team and cleaned then painted our tyres.

Once our Minion was finished we attached the eyes then planted our plant.


Our Minion was finished today!!
The only thing to do now is name our Minion.
Thank you to everyone who helped and those who donated the soil.

Taekwondo skills

Amazing strength!!!

This term our children have been attending Taekwondo lessons in the hall. They have learned some amazing new skills and some discipline in the sport. Tuesday was our last class and the children learned how to break a board in two.

Exploration of our creative energy

Visual Art

Magic art experience

Buddy Time

In our art experience today we worked with our buddies with dye, white paper and white crayons.

Wow... our drawings we made disappeared until the dye was applied to the paper. 

Science- we are learning to explore!

Working together!

This week we have been getting to know the new members of the class.

We have enjoyed working together in our play based discovery time in the afternoons. One of the items we enjoy the most is playing with our brain box.

We work as a team to put together science experiments.

We use our number knowledge to help build our circuits.

It is exciting to see if our circuits will work or if we have to try again.

The children like to try experiments with the siren to see what music/sound it will make.

School Performance

Our Samoan Sasa

On the last day of term one, we along with the rest of the school performed in our special Pacific assembly. 

The performance showcased some of our learning about pacific cultures. For us and our buddy class we got to show our Samoan Sasa. The children were amazing in the performance. They remembered each of the choreographed moves and the Samoan words.
