Discovery Time


For discovery time we focused on how we can respect each other. These are the ways we think we can respect each other during Discovery Time. The writing in blue are things we thought of before Discovery Time and the writing in green are the things we thought of after Discovery Time.

Calendar Art



Today we made some art for our calendar. We made a family tree. We started with our hand which was the branches of the tree. Then we made the leaves around it. We put put sparkly golden paint over the brown. We put some green glittery paint over our leaves. We wrote our families on the green leaves. We died it with blue dye.

These pictures will go on our calendars which you will be able to buy later on in the year.

Music with Jennifer


Today we've done the first day of music with Jennifer in term 3. She had term 2 off. We learned about rhythm and beat. Rhythm is different claps that go with the singing. The beat is when you do one type of stomping or one type of clapping. It was fantastic with Jennifer.

Please watch our movie.

iPad Exploration

After lunch we got the 15 iPads and had a time of exploration. There are heaps of things on the iPad like paint, a balloon game and iSay a game where you copy the colours. We went with a buddy because there was only 15 iPads and there are 25 of us. I got one to myself (Sophie). We learnt how to do the dot to dot. I learnt to play some of the games and draw some pictures. I learnt to press the button beside the screen to get out of an app. We were trying to make numbers and there could be more than one pair of fingers on the same number.

We had loads of fun!

Practice Makes Perfect!

We have been practicing for our student led conferences which are next week. We are excited about them! It is when our mum and dad come and we tell them all about our learning. We also have to tell them what we did, what we are getting better at and how we got better at it. Our student led conference is going to be on Tuesday or Wednesday.

We can't wait.

Tabitha's Holiday Story


Today Tabitha and all of the Incredibles did writing. We wrote about the holidays. This is Tabitha's story. She told us lots of information. She worked really hard to make it really interesting. We liked it when Tabitha said that Oscar was bored out of his mind. I liked the way she used the word celebrate because it has good detail (George). The word that is a bit interesting is fantastic (Sophie).

Kapia to mahi Tabitha!
