Weight

In Maths we have been exploring weight and learning about non-standard units. We have had a lot of fun trying to balance the scales and seeing which objects are heavier and lighter.

Thank you Stephanie for talking to us about your journey

Te Papa Trip

We had a wonderful time visiting Te Papa yesterday to learn more about Matariki. Thank you to all of our parent support! 

Rakau

This is the Year Three students making musical patterns with the Rakau sticks.

Rakau sticks

We have had a great morning working with students from Autahi. It has been a fantastic opportunity to share ideas and work on creating musical patterns with rakau sticks.

Dance

 

Today while the Year threes were at Te Papa the Year ones and twos were in mixed groups with some children from Autahi. We did some art about a Maori legend, danced to lots of different music and tried to follow a beat with the rakau sticks. We had fun!

Wig Wednesday

Today was "Wig Wednesday". 

We had some very interesting head wear! Thanks to all the people who made a donation to Child Cancer.
