Stars of the week!

Congratulations to Punua and Zion for receiving the star of the week awards! They have been trying hard in their learning and making good choices.

Drop, cover, hold!

On Thursday it the National Shake out day and lots of people around New Zealand did an earthquake drill, which is a practise. A sound came over the speakers and we had to get under a table and hold on. We had to cover our head because we have to look after our brains.

Here is some of the writing we did today. We put in some pictures of us under the tables to show what we did when we did the earthquake drill.

We made paper spinners!

Today in Room 2 we made paper spinners. First we had to colour in the circle on both sides, then Miss Nua put cut holes and help us to thread and tie the string. Then we had to practice making it spin fast. We the used the app Explain everything to take a picture of our paper spinner and write a sentence about it all by ourselves. We all worked really hard and found words on the word card and around the room to use it our writing.

Pinocchio!

We have been using the iPad app "Explain Everything" to practise our writing and illustrating.

Here are some of  our illustrated stories about Pinocchio.

We also coloured in some pictures of Pinocchio!

It's My Bread by Diana Noonan

In Room 2 we have been reading lots of books, here is our retelling of It's My Bread by Diana Noonan.

We even made cardboard puppets of the animals in the story.

Our Shape Monsters

In Room 2 we drew pictures of monsters, we used different shapes for different parts of our monsters.

What shapes can you see on our monsters?

My monster has triangle hair!

Maui and the Sun

Last term our inquiry topic was Myths and Legends. We looked at lots of different myths and legends. We really enjoyed learning about Maui and we drew the sun from Maui and the Sun.
We practised first by drawing them in our inquiry books. We practised drawing the half sun and then a full circle to see which one we liked best.

 Savannah and Jordis's practise sun

 Cheldyn and Vaka's Practise sun 

 Mariah and Jairus's practise sun 

 Fereti's practise Sun

 Chance and Lino's practice sun 

 Orlando's practise sun 

Jah and Dane got to take Mariana's sun home.

Then we did them on a big piece of paper

If you went to the Matariki light festival at Te Oro you might have seen some of our artwork because it was on display at an exhibition!
