Tamarereti-Maori Myth

We are retelling a well known Maori Myth about Tamarereti creating the night sky.  Here is the video we watch before starting our writing:

We created crayon resistant art of Ranginui (God of the Sky) and the stars.  Cameron and Izaack show us how what happens when dye is applied to their crayon pictures.

We also tested our knowledge of this story by playing Kahoot.  Mrs Stevens introduced this play game to us.  Here is our first go at it...

Thanks for showing us this fun game Mrs Stevens!!!

Next, we tried making our own Kahoot game.  This is how it went...

You can do this at home too.

Simple Machines

This term we have been learning about simple and compound machines.  We spent a lot of time researching the different types of simple machines there are and how they make our lives easier.  Next we explored compound machines.  We made display boards and models of both simple and compound machines showing our learning.

Pajama Party

Pajama's and onesies are great!  They're warm, comfortable and fun to wear.  They're even better when worn to school for a Pajama Party!  Here's our Pajama Party from Term 1.

Volleyball

In week seven, Ashley from Kiwisport Waikato came in to teach us volleyball.  Even though it was foggy and cold, we braved the weather to learn how to play this fun sport.   Ashely, an amazing coach, is returning soon to teach us more volleyball skills. Ashley rocks!  We can't wait to see her again so we can learn more.

Our M'n'm Art

At the start of the year the students decided to call ourselves "M and M's".  We created self-portraits of ourselves as M and M's.
