Gymnastics

We really enjoyed learning new skills at our first gymnastics lesson.  Our instructor, Kain taught us names of different skills and showed us the correct way to roll, jump, balance and land.

We wonder what he will teach us next!

Silverbeet Soup

We have been growing silverbeet in our garden and today we made silverbeet soup using onion, garlic, coconut cream and oil.  We chopped, fried, poured, stirred, smelt and tasted our yummy soup.

Thank you Mrs Finau for helping us today!

For our writing today, we had to write about how we made the silverbeet soup.

This was written by Kaulave.

How We Made Silverbeet Soup

First, we picked silverbeet from the garden.  Next, we put the oil in and then we chopped  the onion and garlic.  We got the cooking spoon and stirred the onion and garlic.  We chopped the silverbeet and put it and the salt in then we stirred it again.  Lastly, we  put the coconut cream in.

Trip to the Botanical Garden

The sun was shining, the birds were singing and we were on a trip to the Botanical Garden to study the different types of plants in different types of gardens.

What a great trip we have had to the Botanical Gardens.  We learned about different types of gardens such as rose garden, herb garden, rock garden, African garden, children's garden and edible gardens. All these gardens had different types of plants growing in them.  We enjoyed walking through the blossom valley.  Our favourite flowers were roses and bird of paradise and our favourite gardens were the rose garden and the children's garden.  We were fascinated to find a crocking frog in the bog garden.

 We can't wait to visit these garden with our families!!

Poetry Recital

Poetry Recital

What a challenge our Poetry Recital was!  Not only did we had to remember the poem but we also had to say it aloud in front of the other students and parents and stay still at the same time.

Our 3 finalists from Room 5 were Tulialo, DJ and Joseph.  We are so proud of them!!

Tulialo's whanau came to support her

Exploring Patterns with Maths

Maths is so much fun, especially when we get to 'play'!  We have been learning about Algebra- making patterns, continuing others patterns and talking about them.  We have used ourselves eg long hair/short hair, girl/boy, shorts/long pants.  We have also used shapes, other types of materials, colours and number patterns too.

Open Morning

We had invited our whanau to come and watch us working in our classroom for our open morning.
