Some highlights from Term 2

We have such an exciting term learning all about space.  We had a visit from Science Alive and our learning has carried on for may weeks.  

Earlier in the term we got to try some different fruits which were new for some of us and then we wrote all about the experience. 

This movie shows some of our favourite bits from the term.

ANZAC Day

This week we have been reading the story "Dawn Parade" by Philippa Weary.  It tells the story of why we remember our WW1 soldiers on this day and what happens at ANZAC day ceremonies. 









Today at school we had
a special ANZAC day
service.  We made our
own poppies and then 
turned them into a big
wreath to place at our
memorial.

New Zealand Sea Life Videos - Adarsh and Akavius

This term Piwakawaka have been learning all about the ocean and beach habitats after our trip to Sumner Beach.  The children who read with Mrs Harris have been doing their own independent research about different sea creatures.  They have then taken their new learning and put it into a Book Creator.  

They have also been learning to "App Smash" which means combining two or more apps together.  We have used Book Creator, Poplet, Tellagami and Google to put our books together.  We hope you enjoy them.
