Christmas 2021

We had a lot of fun making Reindeer Cookies and Christmas decorations this week.

We used arrowroot biscuits, nutella, M&Ms and pretzels to make our delicious reindeer cookies. It was a lovely treat!

Our Christmas decorations had a 'Xmas Tree' theme. We made a finger print xmas tree card, a glittery xmas tree with a candy cane and then a xmas tree ornament for our trees. What a great way to end the year.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

EOTC Days

 Last week we had our EOTC Days at Lake Ngatu, Waiari and school. The first day we went for a walk from the Beach to the lake it took 1 hour when we got to the lake we had some morning tea then we went for a swim then we had to get out and I was so cold when I got out.

 

Music with Matua Jade

WALT explore different musical instruments and we are learning to give different types of music a go.

Every Monday we go to Matua Jade for Music on the first Monday we got to play with the instruments like drums,ukulele,guitar,piano. My favourite was drums and piano because Matua Jade showed me the keys for a song and it sounded so good. Tthe drums were so fun even though I had no idea what to do. We have so much fun on Monday's.

Asttle Narrative Writing - SAVING THE TOWN

Teacher Note - ‘UNASSISTED’ ASTTLE WRITING

1. The children write for a total of 40 minutes. Within that timeframe they have to plan their writing (a brainstorm) write, edit and re-craft their work. They are not allowed to use dictionaries or word cards. The students completed their writing on paper but have typed it out for their blogs.

WALT write a creative narrative story!

 Once there was a princess and prince and they lived in a BIG castle and one day they heard a whisper but there was no one there only the prince and the princess and they think it is the wizard but he lived two houses away so how could it be him so the prince let out the dog to see if it was the wizard that was whispering and it was not him so who was it they said again? The prodlim was that the dog did not know what the wizard smells like. Lucky the prince had a T-short that had his scent on it but they notised that the dog was not sniffing so they had a solution.
