Week 4, Term 2

Fishing
As part of our Magic Magnet unit we decided to make our very own fishing game. We discovered that magnets are attracted to metals that contain iron, steel or nickel. We used a paperclip sellotaped to the back of our fish so that it would be attracted to our 'magnetic' fishing rod.


Miniball
This week we had a visit from Dallas from Nelson Basketball. She came to teach us some skills to play miniball. It was quite tricky for us but we just kept on trying and had loads of fun.

Cooperation
As part of our Inquiry learning skills we have been learning how to cooperate in a group. We created a picture of Dr. Potaka. In groups of 3 we had to negotiate which part of Dr. Potaka's body we would each draw. We had to discuss, negotiate and compromise.


Next week...
Our sounds will be medial vowels a and e.
Our words will be all/by/because.
During maths we will be looking at counting backwards from 20.
Our Matariki celebrations start next week. Each Friday morning we will rotate classes and children will be exploring a range of maori games, weaving, legends, arts and crafts.
We have a number of children who have not returned their library book. Please ensure they are returned for Friday.
Have a happy and safe week!
