Cheeky Little Fantail song

Here are the talented fantail dancers performing at the Junior sharing afternoon last week for those of you who couldn't make it along. 

Songs for Junior Sharing Day

We are learning these two songs for our Junior sharing day so please help your child to practice them and to learn all the words.

Bird Sketching

We have been observing some different birds, both native NZ and introduced birds. These are some of our sketches. 

The New Birdhouses

Archie's family donated 2 birdhouses to our school. We painted them and then wrote to Mr Scales (our Caretaker) to ask for two poles to put them on.  Mr Scales and Penney put the poles in and mounted our new birdhouses.  We are now going to start researching all about birds to see what we need to feed them and how to encourage them into our garden. 

Circle Art

We are now in our wonderful new learning space.  This is a sample of some of the first art we have put up to brighten our new walls.

Our BIG day out!

This term we were lucky enough to go on a day trip to the museum, the Botanical Gardens and the YMCA.  We all went on the bus.  We had lots of lovely parents who came and helped us.  The scavenger hunt around the museum was a highlight.  The best part of the museum was the Discovery Room.

We had our lunch around the Peacock Fountain in the gardens.  It was such a beautiful day in the sunshine.

At the YMCA we went on a big scavenger hunt around the gardens.  Then we went back to the YMCA and played lots of fun games like Weetbix eating competitions,  the egg game, guess what's in the bag and musical chairs.

Thanks to everyone who made it such an awesome day!

Symmetry Hunt

We have been learning all about symmetry in our classroom.  We used all sort of maths equipment in our room and made symmetrical shapes.  then we used a piece of wool to find the line of symmetry.
