We were lucky enough to be involved in the School Kit unit which involved the Little Garden from New World. We received a whole set of the little garden seeds to plant. The tamariki enjoyed learning how to plant and care for seeds and loved watching them grow into seedlings. We then repotted them to get ready to plant in our school garden. We also had to crack secret codes, learn new games, write about vegetables and PLEDGE TO THE VEG! This means we agree to try new vegetables!!!
We were lucky to receive some balance buckets today and the tamariki had lots of fun creating a bit of an obstacle course using the balance buckets. They tried to walk forwards and backwards, hop and even miss some buckets out while using them as a challenge. It was lots of fun!
We have been learning about the Aboriginal culture and decided to create some Aboriginal clapping sticks as these are a traditional instrument that the aboriginal people make and use to create amazing music. We used paint stirrers and painted them. Once they were dry we used paint pens to create dot art and symbols on the sticks.
Here is a video of us using our clapping sticks!
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.
