Play dough Sculpture

Today the Yellow room had their second sculpture lesson with Miss Smits we are learning how to add texture to our Gruffalo using our fingers, toothpicks and popsicle sticks. We were so focused on our learning that we didn't want to stop for lunch!

More Bottle Top Art

We try to add to our creation most days.  There are a lot of screws and bottle tops to be attached!

Discovery Time Stars

This week we celebrated Pagen and Tyson who were our Discovery Time Stars.

We were very impressed by the way you both showed the value of Respect by packing away and organising the equipment without needing to be asked.

Ka pai Pagen and Tyson!

Balancing

Look at all the different ways we can use our bodies to balance.

Kites

As part of our 'Talk to Learn' group we made these awesome kites.  We are so lucky to have Mrs Stagg at our school.  She always makes our learning fun!

Burnside Star Work

On Thursday we celebrate the children in our team who have been showing our school values.

They get a sticker for the value they have been showing to go on their dragonfly certificate.

This week week we celebrated the work of Pagen, Isabel and Reina. They have all been showing excellence in their learning this week.

Pagen for showing excellence in her reading and learning her alphabet sounds.

Reina for showing excellence in oral language and sharing her ideas.

Isabel for showing excellence in her handwriting and her writing.

Burnside Star

Pagen was awarded our Burnside Star certificate this week for all her hard work in learning her alphabet sounds and for increasing the number of words that she can write.  She is showing excellence in her learning and we are all so proud of her.

Alphabet Fish

Pagen was super proud of how she has filled in her alphabet fish.  This shows that she knows all the sounds that the alphabet letters make.  Well done Pagen.  Ka Pai.

Swimming Sports

On Friday we had our school swimming sports. The whole school walked down to Jellie Park for a fun afternoon of swimming and races.

We had a great time watching our friends and joining in with all of the different races especially the egg and spoon and the starfish competition!

It was great to see all of the Piwakawaka Team showing our school values and completing the races with confidence!

Miss Smits and Miss Browne are very proud of you all!
