Orana Park

Tawa and Kea class have been learning about animals, their needs and habitats. To find out more we visited Orana Park. We enjoyed a fantastic day, but I will wait for the children to do their own writing about the trip to let you in on the details! I will say though that I was really impressed by the standard of behaviour and the quality of the questions. You guys are an awesome bunch! We couldn't have done this trip without our spectacular parent helpers whose efforts made the day run so smoothly. Kai pai!

Our Dream Dog

The Piwakawaka Group have been reading a book about how to choose a pet dog. We have been thinking about different types of dogs and how there are many things to consider when choosing a dog. It is important that your dog matches your life style. The children thought about their dream dog and wrote a description considering all the factors we read about.

Hockey



We are having loads of fun playing hockey every Tuesday. Here are some photos taken by Miss Diggle and Roxy from today's lesson. Playing sport helps us develop and use our gross motor skills. It keeps us healthy and teaches us resilience. Even Miss Diggle had to swallow her pride when her team was beaten by Bryce, Tru, Hayley and Oliver. But it's OK. As Noah pointed out "We still had fun!" Well played Tawa!













An Unusual Pet

In Tawa Class we have been learning about different animal's needs. We have been thinking about the every day needs of our pets at home and have been reading lots of books about animals. For fun we decided to think up some unusual pets and the advantages and disadvantages of those animals as pets. This is what we came up with...

Dolphins My Ideal Pet
