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.

Tai Chi

Today we did some Tai Chi to wake our brains up. We are experimenting with different types of music and movement.

Capacity

In Maths, we have been learning about capacity and how we measure it using non-standard and standard units. We have been looking at the size of different containers, recording whether something is full, half full or empty. We have also been thinking about if a container looks smaller or bigger does this make a difference? Should we always be accurate when we measure? What happens when we aren't accurate...will this affect our results? Take a look at our video to see some of the highlights of this unit! We had heaps of fun and there is still some more learning to do around capacity. Maybe you could help at home when you are cooking or baking...
