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!

Brain Time and Sand Pit

In Brain Time today, some of us made houses out of cards. It was cool and some were very tall. Look at what some of us did:

First we looked at the pictures of sand sculptures. We saw sharks, dolphins, turtles and alligators. Then we went to the sandpit and made some sculptures. The sand wasn't wet so it wouldn't stick together. We put water on the sand. See what we did here:

Swimming!

Today when we went swimming, Mr Davidson took videos of us swimming. Here they are:

Discovery Time!

We did Discovery in Room 8 today with Room 9 and Room 10. We went to make a beach game outside by the tree and we went to make the water and then we went to paint the box so we could make something.

Have a look at some of the pictures Mr Davidson took of us:
