Listening

This week we had a challenge from Barry the Brainy Bee (http://barrybrainybee.blogspot.co.nz/). He asked us to make a blog post showing our learning with he Habit of Mind Listening.  This is what we made:

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.

Discovery Time! Build the Tallest Tower

Today in Discovery Time, Mr Davidson gave us a challenge to build the tallest tower we could. We used lots of different things. Walter and Izaya made the tallest one. Have a look at what we did:

Brain Time

Here are some more Pic Collages we made today in Brain Time. Can you see an improvement?

Here are two Pic Collages of what we did today in Brain Time.

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.

Koru Patterns

Today we made Koru patterns. They look like waves or plants. Some are skinny and some are thin. First we used a pen to draw the pattern. We looked at the paper so we could see what to do. There was already three different Koru patterns on the page. Then we coloured it in neatly, with no white spots and we made sure it was dark. Have a look at some of the patterns we did:

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!

Flower Power Wednesday

On Wednesday, Kalolo picked Walter for the Flower. Walter was caring when Corrina cried. He helped her to stop crying.  Great work Walter! It's glad to see how well you're Working With Others!

Building With Blocks in Brain Time

In Brain Time, we like playing with blocks. Mr Davidson said to build a really tall tower. Here are some PicCollages we made and a Comic Life Mr Davidson made:

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:
