Greedy Cats

Last week we were reading the big book "Greedy Cat".  To follow on from this we decided to create our own cat faces for art.  Students had to look carefully at size and position as they sketched their cat faces onto paper.  Look at the great results!

My Writing

Tawhiti, look what  you can do with the help of a Teacher! With support you can recognise the basic words and you are beginning to use the alphabet sounds to spell longer/unfamiliar words. You really love writing about trucks and are learning to use capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. Keep up the great work!

Cherry Blossom Tree

As part of our Spring celebrations we created a picture of a tree with blossoms.  First students practised sketching leaves and following that we explored the different shapes of trees.  Students then painted the trunk and branches as well as a background.  The final step was to draw and cut out leaves and grass, and then create blossoms using coloured tissue paper.  A lot of learning went on during this piece of art as students used their fine motor skills to add details to their work.

Our Trip to Bunnings

Yesterday we went on a class trip to Bunnings.  Nga tamariki had an amazing time putting their building skills to the test and adding their own personal flair to their creations.

Tawhiti, it was obvious that you really enjoyed this activity.  From the moment you saw the kit sets you knew you wanted to build a truck.  You skilfully and independently used the tools provided to construct your truck and followed the instructions you were given very carefully.

Ka pai!
