Salvador Dali

Safe2School Day slideshow

We have started using Google Slideshow in our class.  We are learning how to collaborate on the same slideshow.

Miss Bolton asked us to write two sentences about the Safe2School Day we had at Paerata.  We had to write an introductory sentence and a sentence saying what our favourite part of the day was and why.

How do you think we did?

Safe2School Day

Today we had lots of visitors in our school.  We were learning about how to travel to school safely. Here is a slide show of some of the photos taken during the day.

Look out for some work from our class about the day - coming soon!

Time

Miss Bolton read the legend "How Maui slowed the sun".  We had to try and guess what our new topic was - some people got very close!  Here are some photos of our ideas.

Our new inquiry topic is Time.  We will be learning about the different ways we measure time and we will be doing experiments comparing different measuring units.
Here is a clip of the legend.

Aotearoa

This morning one of Miss Bolton's cousins sent her a link to a song that she thought was awesome.  Once Miss Bolton saw it, she knew she had to share it!

We are very lucky to live in a country that is not at war and we have beautiful landscapes to visit.

The song is called Aotearoa, sung by Stan Walker, Ria Hall, Maisy Rika, Troy Kingi.

Our new art inspiration: Salvador Dali

Our new room!

Walking through the building

Yesterday our new learning space was opened.  We have been patiently waiting for the builders to finish.  Everyone was very impressed.

Kaumatua came to bless the new space and parents and whanau came to see too.

Reading together

Finding new places to read.

Lots of people worked very hard during the holidays to get the rooms ready for the opening.  Mrs Tate, Mrs Rushton, Miss Bolton, Whaea Delaine and Graeme spent A LOT of time at school making sure the room was ready.

Aren't we lucky!
