Whanau afternoon

Today we had our Whanau afternoon. This included having a picnic lunch with our families, sharing our inquiry projects that we had been working on last term, and playing some games. Everyone had done a terrific job with their presentations and it was great that we were able to share all our hard work. It was awesome to see all the parents at our Whanau afternoon. The children especially loved the adults joining in on the games. Thanks for coming!

Inquiry

This term our Inquiry topic has been “What Can I Tell You About Me”. The children have all been working really hard on their presentations. It has been great to see everyone taking initiative with their research and working independently on their projects. Some of these include slides, show me’s, posters and presentation boards all about themselves and their families. We can’t wait to share these at the Whanau afternoon early next term.

Kiwi Art

A couple of weeks ago the Middle and Junior Room students were with Miss Ward and we did some art. We were drawing Kiwis for our art since our inquiry topic is Kiwiana. Miss Ward said to make them big like a watermelon and not small like the size of a normal human hand because we wanted them to stand out. After we did the body and coloured it in, we had to draw some stars to make it look like night time. Then we would go to the dying table and dye the background black for the night time. Check out our Kiwi drawings down below!!!

They are pride of place in our classroom!
