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!

Strike Percussion

On Friday last week, we went to the hall to watch a drum band called Strike Percussion. Their names were: Biscuits, Mufasa and Tim the Tool Man Taylor. They played the drums.

Then they tried to make it rain.  They played a song using the marimba.

Next Mrs Tollestrup and Miss Taylor went up on the stage and did some mean songs. It was amazing.

After that, Sini went up on the stage and played a song on the Cook Island drums. Can you see him?

They got tired and they were thirsty so they made music with the drink cans.

Finally they made music with fire.

My favourite part was the fire (Nari). My favourite part was Biscuits playing the marimba (Essence). My favourite part was when they were playing with the drinks (Vaueli).

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?

Maths Work Today!

Today we did lots of fun activities in Maths. The Parrots had to make numbers using sticks. They had to read the words, not the numbers.  Here is what Preses and Vaueli did:
