Dynamo Games

Our school Dynamo Leaders organised some outside games for the whole school to participate in on the last day of Term 2.
Although it was freezing cold outside, everybody had lots of fun.

A Surprise Visit

A surprise visit from.... Harold!

We had to assemble in the Learning Centre, but had no idea why. Suddenly Harold appeared! We could not believe our eyes.

We had a wonderful time with him, listening to a story and singing some songs, learning about Friendship, Caring and Kindness.

A great way to end the last week of this very long Term.

Matariki Day

We had yet another enjoyable day in celebrating Matariki at our school. This day was also part of Maori Language week, in which we recognised and practiced the Maori language. Tia te Reo.

In our class, we learnt about Matariki by creating a special page on our Class Wiki. View this by clicking **HERE**

On our whole school Matariki Day, we were involved in three activities, which included Matariki arts & crafts (in House groups), Hangi (E ngā ringawera, tēnā koutou - To the cooks, thank you) and then Waiata with Matua Grant.

Tau kē tēnā whakaaro! - What a great idea!

Shapes

We are learning about shapes. We used our bodies to portray some of the shapes.
We are so good at Co-operation now, that we organized ourselves quickly into groups to 'make' the following shapes:

Triangle

Circle


Square


Rectangle


Diamond


Shapes sorting and building:


Just for fun we listened to 'The Shapes Song'

Rainbow Fish

We are learning about Conflict and Resolution in Room 4. We are using stories to understand this concept. One of the stories that we read was, 'Rainbow fish and the Big Blue Whale.'

We identified parts in the story where everything was going smoothly until something happened that created 'Conflict'. We also identified the part were a 'Resolution' point was reached.
We learnt that by talking about a problem, peace can be made and that we can then work together.

'Move It'

In Room 4 we like to 'move it' and this week we learnt to develop our skills of rolling, stopping, landing, bending, stretching and balance.

We have been involved in the Go4It Gymnastics programme, called 'MoveIt'. We had lots of fun while learning new movement skills.



At the end of our session, we had to work together to get a ball into the middle of a parachute.


And finally, through Co-operation, we did it!!
