Maui and the Sun

Over the last two days we have been reading the Maori legend about Maui and the sun. We are now doing a pastel and dye picture to go with the stories we wrote about how Maui caught the sun to slow it down. We had to do a lot of practice drawing koru patterns before we started. We think they'll look amazing when they are finished! 

Maths afternoon

This afternoon we played some new math games that will help our basic facts. We really liked the fly swat game and the 'what makes ten' knife and fork game!

Sports activator

Today we had an indoor session with Mr C our sports activator. We had lots of fun playing the paper cup stacking game and the memory frog jumping game. 

Celebration time

These awesome people got certificates for great learning this week at celebration time. Fantastic work guys! Diesel Ross was our MVP this week for the value of responsibility!

Briana

Briana is an awesome girl because she stopped at the railway tracks on her way to school. She also stopped Aisha , who is only five years old running over the tracks and showed her how you stop and look for trains! Well done Briana! 

The impossible bridge

Today Criston read a story about the impossible branch. Then he got some paper and followed the instructions to make a bridge. Well done.!

M &M statistics

As a treat for finishing our statistical investigations we counted m &m's ! We had to do a tally chart and then bar graph. After sharing them evenly with a partner we got to eat them!
