Snag Golf continues

We are almost at the end of our Snag Golf lessons and we have learned a lot of new skills.  We know how to use the tee, golf putter and the ball to get a 'snag', it is when we hit the center of the target. We also got to play a lot of games.  

Class garden

As part of Matariki celebrations, we planted some plants in our garden outside our classroom.  We dug, we planted and we watered. We planted a kumara that had been growing on our nature table too. We had to use gloves to keep our hands safe and a shovel to dig.  Now we have to look after our plants and we are looking forward to see them flowering too.

Matariki Celebrations

As part of our Matariki studies, we decided to learn to weave with harakeke (flex).  We had to prepare the flex first and divide it into sections.  It was a challenging but fun activity and we worked in pairs and made plaits.

We are looking forward to doing some exciting activities with other teachers too.

Room 5 Hosts Syndicate Assembly

It was our turn to take the syndicate assembly.  We were so excited and couldn't wait for the time to come.  We remembered what we had to say, smiled, spoke clearly and loudly and sang the song " Try Everything" from the movie Zootopia beautifully.

We also presented our art " The Winter Silhouette".

We can't wait for our turn to host the assembly again!

How to make Banana Milkshake

We visited room 4 so together we could make banana milkshake.  We were so excited as we have been learning about dairy farms and how the milk gets from the cows in the farm to our table.

First, we got all our ingredients together, milk, banana and some honey (we have learned how bees make honey too).

Then we helped to peel and break the bananas and we put them in the blender with milk and honey.

Lastly the teachers switched the blender on and we watched it chop and spin and make the milk frothy and yummy.

The best bit was tasting of the yummy banana milkshake.

We also found out that banana milkshake was healthy too!  Thank you room 4 for having us.
