What am I?

Today we wrote what am I's? We had to choose an animal and give clues about it so the person reading can guess what animal it is. We drew a picture for the answer. We put some paper over the picture so it can be lifted up to see the answer. You can come and see them in our class or look at them on our blog.

Designing our Super Birds

Today we designed our super birds on kidpix. Some people worked in buddies and some worked individually. First we did the black outline and then we added colour. We need to giver our super bird a name. Watch this space to see our finished super birds.

Making a Christmas Tree

Today we started to make a Christmas tree out of our hands. We put newspaper on the tables so we didn't get paint everywhere. We painted our hands and put our hands on a piece of paper. We are waiting for the prints to dry then we will cut them out. It was cool making a Christmas tree. We will need to make decorations to put on our tree. We'll show you a picture when our tree is finished.

Writing Captions

Today at writing time we were learning how to write a caption. A caption is a sentence explaining what is happening in the picture. We wrote captions for pictures of birds and animals from Mount Bruce.

Super Birds

Today we started to plan our super birds. A super bird is when you get to make lots of birds into one bird. You choose the best part of each bird to make one amazing bird. There lots of cool birds that we have planned. They all look very different.

Native New Zealand Birds Discovery Time

Today for Discovery Time we have been looking at birds from Mount Bruce. They came from Te Manawa. There were some birds eggs to look at. There was a kiwi egg, a chicken egg, an ostrich egg, owl egg and hummingbird eggs. The eggs were all different sizes. The ostrich egg was the biggest and the humming bird eggs were the smallest. They were tiny!!

There were some puppets, saddle back, kiwi and a pukeko. There were also some birds feet. The black shag's foot looked like a bat's wing. There was a foot with really long and sharp claws!

There were some puzzles where you have to figure out what the name was, what the beak does and what the feet does.

There were also some books that you could read. The books had information about the different birds.

We love native birds!
