Learning Through Play

Check out Liukou and Julien's creativity today in our Learning Through Play!  They were very proud of the racetrack that they had made out of blocks.  They spent quite a while connecting all the parts creating it and when it got a little busted during our pack up time before I had a chance to take a photo they showed great resilience by simply fixing it up again and putting things right!  Great work boys! You are learning to work together, use problem solving skills and your imagination!

A Special Visitor

Well, this is what we LOVE about our school...the ability to down tools at a moments notice to stroll across to the beach to watch a very special visitor...a Southern Right Whale!!  The whale wowed us with water spouts and spent a long time lolling about just behind the breakers.  We got a great look at the whale as it lifted it's fin, head and tail out of the water.  Just magical!  What a way to learn!!  Thanks to Liz Proctor for the photos :)

Laurel Burch Cats

We have been working hard to produce some quality artwork to go with our poems each Friday. 

 This week, we had a poem about pets and then we looked at Laurel Burch's colourful artwork. 

 We drew careful shapes and got creative with colour to create our own Laurel Burch cats!  

All of our cats looked stunning! 

Look at the quality work that Ruby, Liukou, Sophie and Eleanor completed!

Cross Country Catch Up:)

Two weeks ago we ran our cross country.  For the tamariki in Room 9 this was the first time they have run a WBS cross country and we are so proud of the effort and attitude that they put in!  There were lots of smiles and lots of fast legs!  Well done Room 9!
