PTA Book Award

Today I got a fabulous book from Elm Park PTA. I got this book because I try to show the Elm Park School Values.

Hedgehog Fun

Today we read a book called 'Hedgehog Fun'. It showed us how to make hedgehogs out of fruit. After we had read the book we made the prickles. It was fun and they tasted yummy.

Blowing Bubbles

I Am Learning to Draw Sunflowers

We planted sunflower seeds. They are beginning to grow. We drew a sunflower to show what we hope will grow on our plants.

I Can Find a Compound Word

We read the story 'Listen to the Egg' today. We had to put the words in the right order. 

"I can do this. I knew There's was the first word because it had a capital. The sentence has to make sense too. Inside is a compound word - in and side two words to make a new word".

Kapa Haka

Today the junior Kapa Haka group performed the story of Hatupatu and the Bird Woman. I was a forest tree. I made my mask. It was such fun.

Blob Bugs

We used paint to paint three blobs, then we squashed our paper in half. When it was dry we added legs, wings, antennae and eyes.

I Can Add More detail to My Writing

We are learning to add more detail to our writing. We write when it happened.

" I wrote 'today' in my story because that's when it happened".

I Am Learning to Tell The Time

We have made clocks at school. We are learning to tell o'clock and half past times using our clocks. It is fun.

"My clock says 7 o'clock. It is easy to tell o'clocks, next I will learn half past times".

Art Exhibition - Paint My World

We used primary colours to paint our paper. We mixed the colours to get the new colours. We then drew our koru patterns and cut them out. We  arranged them on black paper to make the colours show out.  Come and see our Art Work this week 25^th  – 27^th August, the exhibition is open from 8:30am until 5:30pm.
