Cross Country

We ran fast!

We cheered and clapped for Room 3

We had a very exciting time.

I am running the Cross Country.  Last year I came last.  This year I don't know where I came.  I like running the Cross Country.  I saw my Mummy.       Sophie

I was last.  Then I was first.  I was proud of myself today.  Mummy was proud.  My brother Jazz was proud, even my brother Jacob was really proud too.

My family was cheering for me - that made me run faster.  My mum said "I loved it." 

 "That was amazing."      PJ

Can you recognise the buildings we are sketching?   ....the Kauri classrooms 

Art Walk around Kakariki House

I went to Kakariki House and  I went on a game.  I looked at Lego Star Wars.  I ate biscuits and pies in the food room.  PJ 

I went to Kakariki House and I saw Bionicles Star Wars toys.  It was cool.  I was eating pies and cookies.  We drank juice and played on the playground.  Blake

I went to Kakariki House to look at art.  My favourites were the black and white patterns.  Ayla

                       We are pretending to work at our desk just like everybody at Kakariki House.

I liked eating my lolipop.  I also liked watching the people working on the computer.  It was fun.  Ariana

I went to Kakariki house.  I ate some cookies and juice and little pies.  I saw shell paintings.  We went to the playground.  Heidi

Kowhai Playground

 A very important meeting took place on Friday.  We met with our playground designer, Marie.  We voted on the best design features to be included in our playground upgrade.

 Agenda.   

Let's have a discussion: 

What kind of bridge should be included?   We need monkey bars, a climbing net and some balancing equipment. 

 A crawl tunnel too.   I wonder what kind of imaginary games we could play in this?  Crawling through a dinosaur land?  Could it be a fishing boat or a rocket ship?

Let's vote!

Eyes on Art!

What a wonderful gathering of artists in our hall.  We were all inspired and delighted.

It was a joy to talk to the artists about their work.  We were in awe of their talent!

Little Kiwi

The kiwi is a very special treasure that belongs to us - New Zealand- our place!

We read a lovely story about a lonely kiwi bird who went looking for friendship.  We made some 'kiwi art' into a book retelling this story

Autumn

Autumn is a beautiful season heralding the arrival of the colder weather.  The trees paint a picture right in front of us: green to orange, yellow, red and finally brown.

Tane Mahuta day - a time to celebrate our noble Kauri tree.  We enjoyed creating leaf rubbings.

 Here are some gorgeous leaves created by Room 3 to commemorate this season.  We made lovely Mother's day card showcasing our leaves too.
