Playground!!

 We love spending time on the senior playground to build our confidence, team work, movement and problem solving skills. There is lots of new, exciting and tricky activities for us that help us to overcome our fears and we feel very BRAVE! 

These photos were taken when we were find shapes in our playground. We found lots of shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, ovals, and triangles.

Elections!

 We have been learning about the Elections. This was interesting because we all recognised the Prime Minister from the TV over lock-down. We got into parties (groups) and had to say why people should vite for us. This was funny because we all have funny names for our parties. We also made Vote For Me posters and these were based on what a good class leader would be/do. Here are a few of our posters.

Activity Five - Rainbow!

Activity Four 4 - Haumiatiketike!

Activity Three - Te Reo Maori Kupu!

Activity Two - Teddies In The Bed!

Activity One - The Name Game!

Tyson's Home Mahi

Tyson has been building huts and a swing. We have been making coloured rainbow cookies and we have also been riding the trolley that his uncle built before lockdown. Tyson has also had fun using the effects app to do cool selfies!

 

 

Kapai Tyson! It looks like you are doing lots of exploring and learning at home with your whanau! Whaea Chloe loves that you have made a swing and your rainbow cookies look super yummy! Keep doing all your awesome home learning and keep sharing it with me, I love seeing what you get up to with your whanau!

Noble's Fort Building!

Noble has been busy having fun at home building awesome forts with his little sister! Noble has used some sheets, pillows and furniture to build his fort.

Noble's fort looks like lots of fun! Maybe you could build a fort at your house (ask your whanau first) and send Whaea Chloe a photo of it. 

Elizabeth's Baking

Elizabeth has mad delicious cookies with her whanau. She has included the recipe for us too! Mum told me that the cookies were so delicious they didn't last very long haha! 

Your cookies do look very delicious and easy, Whaea Chloe will have to give them ago! 

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Mindfulness

In Room 16 we have been practicing mindfulness everyday after lunch. This hasn't been easy for some of us as we struggle to stop, think and breathe but we are trying and always feel better afterwards. We know that mindfulness helps us with lots of things like resetting our minds and bodies so we are ready for learning, helping us let go of things that worry us, refocusing ourselves, our breathing and being aware of ourselves and our mind and thoughts and also thanking our bodies and minds for all the hard work that they do. Here are some pictures of us doing our mindfulness meditation.

    

Here is one that we have had a go at. Check it out and give it a go at home if you want to.

Parachute Fun!!

Kia ora koutou katoa,
Room 16 has been having lots of fun using our new parachute that Whaea Chloe got for us. We have enjoyed playing games to get used to using it. We loved playing 'Mushroom', 'Popcorn and 'Keep The Ball Rolling'. We had so much fun that we keep asking if we can use it again!!
We have also been working hard at writing about our parachute experience and can't wait to share our writing on our blog with you all.
