Holly found a wasp nest in the wall of her bedroom when her family pulled down her wall.  In discovery time Holly and Judy searched the internet to find out more about wasps.  She wrote down some facts and found a good place to display it.  It wasn't long before some children noticed the display.  Holly was then able to share her learning with others.  Well done Holly.

Friday's Assembly

On Friday, the violin group played in assembly.  Three of the players were from our rooms.  They played exceptionally well.  We are all very proud of their playing.

Discovery Time

We had fun on Friday. One of our Mums brought in all these old appliances which didn't work any more. We had fun dismantling them. We had to persevere with some of the screws. We also had to be team players.

Korero Maori

On Friday we practise speaking Maori.  Today we looked at maori place names around our community.
We thought hard about our pronunciation and pulled some words apart to look at chunks and think about vowel sounds.

We also revisited our numbers to five.  We have been playing fish to master our numbers.  We find it more difficult to remember the number names when we are not chanting them in order.

We went to a show in the hall and we learned a dance. I liked the dance. There were helpers for the dances. The lady who did the dances was pretty. There was a man who was good at playing the drums.

On Monday Josh and Parvyn came to Clifton Terrace to perform at my school. Parvyn did great dancing with 100 bells around her ankles. Josh tied them on because he went to Bunnings.
