Matariki Fun Day

It was a glorious mess in Miss Mason's and Ms. Teleso's groups for the Matariki Fun Day!

We had a rotation with three different activities going on:  sweet-n-sour muffin baking, Matariki thankful star crafting, and star slime-making!  While the star slime did not turn out quite as expected, it was a great time experimenting with different recipes and learning to "just roll with it" :)  The muffins were super delicious and the stars turned out so beautifully!

Well done to our group and Happy Matariki to all!

 

Honey Store Shopping

It's so much fun to play storekeeper and customer in our new honey shop.  We have to shop for groceries and ask the storekeeper for honey.  There are small sizes for $1, medium sizes for $2, and large sizes for $3.  Dayton and Noah just love being storekeepers and are pretty good salespeople!

Busy Beekeepers

We have a new beehive in Room 13.  We get to practise our beekeeping skills, but first we have to get our gloves, jackets, and beekeeping hats on to keep us from getting stung.  Then, we have to check the hive to see if it is healthy.  We do all of this to keep the bees safe while they make us honey!  We get to write on our checklist what is happening in the hive. 

We are "busy as bees" lately down at our end!

Playing Teacher

It's so much fun being able to be the teacher in our very own play classroom.  We get to teach our friends the words we are learning and help each other write them.

We're very good at playing teacher!

Gymnastics with Coach Steve

We are having so much fun at Kiwisport gymnastics with Coach Steve.  Check out all these cool new skills we are learning and the fun activities we get to do.  We can't wait until next Monday when we get to give it a go again!

Library Visits

We love sitting on these new homemade chairs to pick out our books when we visit the library.  Thank you, Mrs. Fester!

Kindness & Kaitiakitanga

It's pink t-shirt week and we have been talking about kindness.  

Here's a few stories we made on our iPads today with Ms. Collins about Oat the Goat.
