On Monday it was a beautiful day so we decided to go outside onto the field and have a morning tea picnic as a class! Morris the monkey and Care Bear also came along to our picnic.
We enjoyed going to Flying Fives this afternoon. Our focuses were balance, enjoyment and team work. We loved working together and finding different ways to use the equipment!
We have been learning about measurement – length.
Today we built objects and had to choose a non-standard unit to measure these in. We chose hands, pencils, blocks or fingers to measure. 
We made fry bread today to celebrate Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori. We loved watching it sizzle in the pan. It was delicious with butter and jam. 
We were learning about the life cycle of sunflowers and learned how important bees are to the process of making honey. We did our own beehive artwork.
We have been Scientists today. We hypothesised what we thought would happen. We looked and questioned.
Have a look at our photos from our Maths week rotations yesterday…
We are learning about ways we can be responsible for our own belongings. We can all korero about what belongs inside our school bags, everyday.
We had our third session of Thursday swimming today. It was lots of fun and we are all becoming so much more confident in the water.
We did an experiment called “shaving foam rainclouds”. We watched and asked questions. We spoke about what we could change and how that might change the outcome. “I wonder what would happen if we used less shaving foam? I wonder what would happen if we used hot water?”
