Imaginary Worlds

My Imaginary World

by Lizzie

In my imaginary world there lives monkeys  who are small and they can go to the next branch by swinging and holding on with their hands.

There are also fairies who are big and colourful. They can  turn ants into frogs and turn numbers into letters.

Practising Our Dance Skills

We were  dancing to the rhythm of the music. The music was slow so we had to place ourselves in different positions.

We were learning to move in different ways. You don’t have to move your whole body at once.

Maths in the Sun

We did our maths outside because it was a sunny day. 
We drew a robot in our books and then we put a number into the robot and added another number to it and then we found out what came out.

Exploring the rock pools at Worser Bay beach

We are learning about creative thinking. We had lots of ideas and used our imagination down at the beach. 

It was Sea Week last week so we are doing a mini-inquiry into the things that live in our Worser Bay beach rock pools. We discovered some interesting creatures. 

We are thinking about what a novice and apprentice bike rider would look like

We are learning about how to create a matrix

WBS Powhiri 2014

WBS Powhiri February 2014 on PhotoPeach

I wanted to pass on to the school and students what an amazing job they did this morning. Their participation in the powhiri, from the haka to respectfully sitting during the rest of the ceremony was fantastic and a real tribute to their maturity and the culture of the school community. Well done Worser Bay School, I felt proud to be part of your community!
