Cross Country - At last!

We had the perfect day for our cross country race. After all the wet weather and postponements, we finally got to take on the Crosbie Park course. Well done to all the runners who showed great spirit and perseverance. Ka Pai!
Here is some of the action at the start/finish line.

We are artists.......

We have been experimenting with mixing colour and graduating the colours across the page.

Stuffed Teddies

We drew teddies and coloured them in. After we cut them out we made 'fur' on the back using bubble wrap and paint. We stuffed them with scrunched up paper. They look awesome!

Minecraft Creations

Some of our minecraft enthusiasts have been working together. What have they made?

Cooperative Play

We love to play

We love to move...

and we love to draw.

These are our fingerprint frogs - see how they are feeling.

Buddy Readers

We have big buddies from Room 2 come and read with us every week. They listen to us read our reading books  - the more we read the better readers we become! Big thanks to our fantastic reading buddies for helping us.

Waiata - Kahikatea

The tamariki of Room Tekau mā whā want to share our version of this song.

We learned that the kahikatea tree comes from the time of the jurassic dinosaurs. It can grow up to 55 meters high and can live for over 500 hundred years. It is a type of native pine with strange cone with seeds that are very pretty and tasty. You can see them in our video. The maori people used the tress for making spears and making pigment for moko.
