How many children will fit in a box?

Today Miss Smits brought in a big box for us to decorate for the school fun day on Saturday. We thought it would be fun to see how many children we could fit in the box before we started to decorate it.

We tried the boys first. We discovered 5 boys could fit in the box.

Next we tried the girls. We could squeeze 5 girls into the box as well!

Assembly

This week in assembly we welcomed 5 new children to our team. Daniel, Denise, Nyah and Cici are new 5 year olds in the blue room and Autumn who is 6 years old in the yellow room. We are excited to have you all in the Piwakawaka Team!

We said goodbye to Reina who is moving back to Japan with her family. We will miss you Reina!

We also celebrated Logan and the excellent effort he has been putting into his writing this term. Ka pai Logan!

Te Waka o Matariki

We worked in groups to sequence some story cards.  We worked in groups to say which picture came first, next and last.  Then we had to make up a story to match the pictures.  We had to look very carefully at the pictures to see what order to put them in.

Buddy Reading

Every week we meet with our buddy classes, Room 10 and Room 12.  We enjoy listening to stories with our Year 6 buddies.  They are awesome readers!

Discovery Time

We were very excited to come back to school and see the changes in our learning spaces and the new things that had been purchased.  AND then we were able to use them during Discovery Time.  We LOVED our new kitchen unit and train table!  We had a great learning time, making sure that we showed respect to our new equipment and learnt where to put it back so the next person can use it easily.

Congratulations to Eseta who was our Discovery Time Star.
