Greedy Cats

Last week we were reading the big book "Greedy Cat".  To follow on from this we decided to sketch our own cats for art.  Students had to look carefully at size and position as they sketched their cats into their sketch books.  Look at the great results!

My Writing

Hasti, look what great writing you have done with the support of a Teacher! You have worked hard to learn the basic words and are growing in confidence with the alphabet sounds. Keep up the good work and you will be writing detailed sentences before you know it!

Cherry Blossom Tree

As part of our Spring celebrations we created a picture of a tree with blossoms.  First students practised sketching leaves and following that we explored the different shapes of trees.  Students then painted the trunk and branches as well as a background.  The final step was to draw and cut out leaves and grass, and then create blossoms using coloured tissue paper.  A lot of learning went on during this piece of art as students used their fine motor skills to add details to their work.

Celebrating Spring

In Room 27 we have been learning about Spring.  To celebrate our learning we decided to have a teddy bears picnic.  We made delicious cupcakes, yummy old fashioned lemonade and nga tamariki were able to bring a teddy bear from home.  We really enjoyed the lemonade and cupcakes.  Some students noticed that "the cupcakes were really sweet and the lemonade was quite sour but they tasted yummy together".  We weren't scared off by the wet Spring weather either with students exclaiming "our picnic needs to be outside".  Thankfully the rain held off just long enough for us to enjoy our Spring feast.

Our trip to Bunnings

Yesterday we went on a class trip to Bunnings.  Nga tamariki had an amazing time putting their building skills to the test and adding their own personal flair to their creations.

Hasti, although you found it tricky to hold all the pieces at once, you were very good at using a hammer to make your spice rack. You were very determined! You felt very proud of your work once it was painted. 

Ka pai!
