Yesterday we played some Matariki games. The tiaha stick was for strengthening your wrists. We had to try and try until we could use the sticks properly. It was fun at Matariki game time.
On Friday we are going to have a shared lunch to celebrate Matariki. Remember to bring some lunch to share. Parents are welcome too.

Drama
We went to drama. It was very exciting. Michael was the teacher. Michael if Forrest's Dad. It was fun at drama because we acted. It was fun when we played "You" because Michael kept on walking with his hand out straight. Michael had a want that made us turn into a giant, frog and Jack from Jack and the Bean Stalk. Michael is funny. We are looking forward to next time!
Shadows
We stood really still and drew around our shadow. The first time we did it, the sun was behind the clouds and it did not work. The second we went around the back and it was sunny and it worked. They looked skinny, long and black. We drew them twice. The second time they looked different. It looked longer. It was going to a different way to your first shadow.
We think they looked different because the sun has moved.

What is a shadow?
We read a book about shadows. We are going to make some shadows, tomorrow. We asked some questions like does the sun come up everyday? Does the sun come up even when it's cloudy. The sun is hiding behind the clouds. We think we still have shadows even when it's cloudy and the sun is hiding behind the clouds.
Do you still have shadows at night time when it's dark? Your homework is to find out!

The Incredibles Art
This week we have done some art. We are doing Eric Carle art. We painted the background which is the sky and the garden for our flowers. We had white, yellow red and blue paint. We mixed all the colours to make brown. It was tricky to have the right amounts of colours to make it go brown. We think we did a pretty good job!
Next, we are going to stick the flowers on our paintings and make some bugs to go in our garden. We can’t wait to make our bugs!
