Pasifika

This week in Pasifika, Mr Siilata and the older children taught us some new dances. The boys learned a  Samoan Faitaupati (a slap dance) and the girls learned a Samoan Siva (please, if this is wrong, correct me). Have a look at the older children teaching the younger children. Remember this is their first try at doing this.

FMS Sport

We had some coaches come in to do sports with us yesterday. Here is a Pic Collage Mr Davidson made and a video of us having fun. We were hopping on one leg and singing the abc song on the abc line (Robbie). We were playing fruit salad and when the coach said the fruit we had to go find a fruit to stand on (Essence). We ran to the tree and we ran back to the coaches (Valerie).

Brain Time!

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?
