Outdoor Games

In Te Puawai we have been having a lot of fun this week playing our new Outdoor Games. The children have created these games and are now able to enjoy them.

100 Book Read Challenge

Congratulations and well done to Brooke. She has completed the 100 Book Read Challenge.

Garden Group Cookng Session

The Garden Group enjoyed their baking session today.

The girls were not very sure about eating asparagus but they all enjoyed it. Maybe it was the bacon!!

Harakeke Putiputi

                            
We had a lovely day on Friday learning how to make a harakeke putiputi. Everyone helped each other to create beautiful flowers.
First we had to learn the Tikanga of cutting harakeke and then say a kakakia.

                         

Building a Wharenui

Keanu and Isla made this model of the Wharenui.

Learning the Parts of the Wharenui

We have been learning a new song that will help us to recall the parts of the Wharenui.

100 Books Read Challenge

Congratulations to Leah for completing her 100 books read challenge. What a marvellous effort.

Te Puawai's Visitor

We were lucky to have a very cute visitor today. Her name is Ivy and she has joined Mabels family.

Math Number Challenges

Today we had to work as a team to complete our Tasks.

Building Clocks

In Te Puawai we have been learning to tell time. We decided to build clocks out of unconventional materials on Friday. The groups of children had to communicate well so that they could decide how to make the hands, how to show the numbers correctly and decide on a time to display.

Taranaki Cricket

A great day was had by all when the Taranaki Cricketers came to teach us some skills on Friday. Luckily the rain stayed away long enough to let us complete our sessions.

Weaving

In Te Puawai we have been learning to weave. We began by collecting long straight leaves from the school environment and then we wove them through the rather ugly orange fencing we have around our school at the moment.

Next we have tried paper weaving.

Te Puawai

Now that we have a new blended class (Rooms 3 & 4) who are learning together in the hall, we have chosen a new name.
Te Puawai - which means to flourish.
We have a lot of new spaces to learn in now.

100 Books Read

Congratulations to Piper for completing her 100 Books Read Challenge. What an amazing effort.

Fire Engine

Creative play at math time.

Fun with Clay

Yesterday we had a lot of fun working with clay. Rooms 3 & 4 learnt how to join different pieces of clay.

SCORE, SLIP, SMEAR. Next we had fun modelling the clay.

Fancy Dress

What a wonderful evening. It was lovely to see all the children dressed up, enjoying themselves and the dancing was fabulous as well. Well done Room Three.
