End of Autumn!
Celebrating the end of Autumn by playing in the leaves!
We do a great job at helping our caretaker Waran with small jobs around the school. Today we moved his leaf piles out of the staff car park. We had so much fun throwing the leaves around that we decided to write about our experiences. The leaves continue to fall from the trees so we are hoping we can do this again soon!
Check out our fun in the leaves!

Tuhituhi/STEM - Character & Diary writing
Over the past two weeks we have been making characters and bringing them to life. First, we planned their personalities, appearance and experiences. Then, we created them using polystyrene balls, hot glue, tooth picks, googly eyes, pom poms, paint, wool and pipe cleaners. After, we wrote a diary based on the perspective and experiences our character had during the day.
A few examples of what our characters like to do in a day are, art and getting creative, going to the lego supermarket, making new friends, playing handball and other games, eating lots of yummy and healthy food and then going to bed at the end of the day in their 'houses' made by us.
This has been a fun and enjoyable experience and we will bringing our characters home for the holidays to meet our whānau.

Badminton!
This week for kori tinana we practised our badminton skills. We worked on skills that would help our hand eye coordination such as, underhand and overhand. We learnt how to serve a shuttlecock and also hit to a buddy. We had to remember to hit the shuttlecock lightly because they go a long way with only a little tap. This is because they are so light and fly through the air. By the end of the week we had developed our skills and were able to balance the shuttlecock on the racquet and successfully hit it toward our buddy.
