We wrote stories about our dad's and we made him a card. We painted a tree using our handprints.
They looked awesome.
I hope you remembered to give it to him on Father's Day!!!

Our Greedy Cat Art and Stories.
We read the shared book Greedy Cat.
Greedy Cat steals food after mum has finished the shopping.
"Gobble, gobble, gobble and that was the end of that!"
Mum decides to teach him a lesson and plants a pot of pepper.
"Gobble, gobble, gobble...... YOWL!!!!!"
And that was the end of that!
We drew our own Greedy Cats. We used pastel and dye to colour them.

Tuakana - teina: Buddy Time at WBS
The Tuakana-teina relationship is an integral part of the culture of Wainui Beach School. It is based on traditional Maori society, where an older or more expert tuakana ( brother, sister or cousin) helps and guides a younger or less expert teina.
At WBS our new entrants are teamed up with Yr 5 and 6 students from Room 1. Each Friday afternoon, our classes join together. The older students ( tuakana) mentor and work with their younger buddies ( teina). It is a time of the week we all look forward to, as it is heaps of fun, and a great way to end our week.
This week, we all went down to the beach to drink our milk. Our buddies showed us how to fold our milk cartons correctly after we had finished.
