Greats and Grands Day 2018

Last week we had our annual Greats and Grands (grandparents) Day. This is always a popular event and as usual we had a fabulous turn out.

The children shared items with the grandparents and the grandparents joined us for a fun jump jam. We took them to our class and shared our blog and gave them the calendars we made. It was such a fun day. Thank you to everyone who came.

Waiting patiently to begin.

Yum or Yuck Soup Procedural

This week we have been doing procedural writing and we got to make our own instructions for yum or yuck soup. Here is one of the yuck soup written by Heidi. 

Kauri Tree Art

We have been learning about Kauri dieback in reading time. The children created some Kauri trees using dye and crayons for the background, finger painting to make the patterns on the trunks, green collage leaves and finger painting the ground layer. We then wrote slogans to help save our Kauri trees from the dieback disease.

Here are some of our pieces of art.
