Bridges of Sand

Next time we're going to do it better by making the hills the same size (Jenysis). That is making it right. We will try this next week.

Happy Day

Today was Happy Day. We went to our morning tea shed and drew some happy day pictures of us. Have a look at what we did and watch the video!

Puppet Discovery

Today we made puppets in Discovery Time. The puppets were funny so we were using our Habit of Mind, That's Funny! We also used Stop and Think because stopped and thought about what we wanted to make before we started. Have a look and read about what some of us did during Discovery below:

Patterns!

Today, Mr Davidson asked us to make a pattern using anything we could find in the classroom.  We used Lego, puzzles, lids, rocks and shells, numicon shapes and Bee Bots. Can you make a pattern yourself?

Have a look at the patterns we made. Can you figure out what the pattern is?

Pasifika

Last Friday we went to our cultural groups again. Mr Davidson is in the Pasifika group and he took some videos of the song and the sasa we're learning. Have a look at how good we've become. We have a guitar and a drum playing with us!

Discovery

Today the Magnificent Monkeys and the Brave Bears did Discovery on the Teddy Bear's Picnic. We had a picnic outside, made some bear masks, built a bear house and dance to The Teddy Bear's Picnic. Here is a Comic Life of what we did:

Flower Power Wednesday

Kalolo picked Detroit to get the flower this week. Detroit let Kalolo have a turn on his scooter at lunch time.

Jackson is our Friend

During Discovery today, we got to hold Jackson, our class pet. We listened to Mr Davidson. We had to hold him on the tail near his bum and be very careful. He was not too scared of us. See the pictures of us holding him:

Mouse Discovery

Today we had a Discovery all about mice. We got to hold Jackson, make a collage of a mouse, make up a song for Jackson, and make some toys for him.  Here are some pictures of our collages:
