Metal Men

For the last two weeks we have had the Metal Men activity at our Art Station. Here are some of the pictures we made:

It is awesome. It is made out of metal.

It is nice and neat.

I made a person and a dinosaur.

Mine is awesome and it is cool.

It is cool and it is unique.

I like my work because it's cool.

It's nice and neat and it's cool.

My butterfly is beautiful. It has gold and silver wings. (Mr Davidson)

Swimming!

We went swimming with another class today and when we were finished, room 3 and rom 4 came (Robbie). When we were swimming, Miss Nua told us to go around the corners and go around the pool so you could make a whirlpool (or a tornado). It was fun, but our legs hurt. The water went to push us and it went to make us run faster. Some people used boards to make it make a whirlpool. Then we turned around to go the other way. It was too hard to push.  (Tuakana, Solomon and Corinna) It was fun turning around (Nari). Here is a video:

Robot Discovery

In the morning we went to go to room 6 then we went to make some robots and robot houses with blocks, lego, cardboard, and metal parts. We also made armour and dressed up as a robot. We used Stopping and Thinking when we were making our things. We thought about what we were making before we made it. We also used Creating and Innovating because we created stuff that are new and cool.  Here are some pictures of what we did:

Flower Power Wednesday

Every week we are going to have a person get the Flower. This will be given to someone who has been kind to someone else in our class. For the first week, our kind person is Tuakana. When Nari was hurt while playing on the park, Tuakana went over to her without waiting and tried his best to help her up and to help make her feel better. Congratulations Tuakana, you are a fantastic role model!

Jackson the Mouse

Today, one of our students made a Pic Collage about Jackson, our pet mouse:

Our Butterflies

This morning we found two butterflies in our classroom. We let them walk on us so they could go free outside. This is a picture with us holding the butterfly. It felt ticklish when they were on our hands but it was fun. Some people were scared to hold them. After we held them, we put them in the garden where the flowers are to be helpful. We had to put them gently on the flowers because we might break their wings.
