Welcome to term 3

We have had an awesome start to the term. Last week we listened to and played along with the beat of some cool music.

We also planted some flower seeds for our science topic "Growing a plant from seed". Some of these flowers are for Mr Davey's Interest based group garden.

This week the children have been hard at work in their learning......

Felicity wrote her story all by herself.......fantastic!

Layton is showing off his wonderful letter work, great work Layton!

Firewise Fire Station Visit

We had been learning about being 'Firewise'. We have completed and are continuing to complete a series of activities in the classroom to help us know what to do if there was a fire in our house or even our classroom. We learnt that you must...

• Get down, get low, get out! FAST!! 

• Have working smoke alarms in your house

• Never play with matches or lighters and if you find any of these give them to an adult to put them somewhere safe

• Have a safe meeting place once you get out of your house

Last week we even went to the Ikamatua Fire Station to learn about what firefighters do to help us if there is a fire. We got to look at all of the equipment they need and use. Our most exciting part was getting to sit in the fire engine and when Mrs Whitmore put on the fire siren for us. The siren gave some of us a fright too!!

Kite Making

We watched a video on how to make our very own kites. We had to follow each step carefully to make sure we made a good strong kite that we could fly outside in the wind. 

Here are our finished kites and they flew very well...

Letter of the Week

This week the letter of the week was C! On Tuesday we went into the kitchen and did some cooking to help us remember the letter c sound... c, c, c.

We cooked playdough because we needed some new playdough in our classroom to make alphabet letters and numbers. 

We each had to help with the cooking process and at then end we each got a ball of playdough to squeeze. We had to squeeze all the food colouring through the white playdough to make it coloured. 

We had a lot of fun cooking playdough and look forward to using it in our classroom to help us learn our alphabet letters and numbers!

We made our playground three different colours...

We had so much fun squeezing our playdough!

My playdough ball is red!

My playdough ball is blue!

It was so warm on our hands when we started squeezing it because it had just come out of the pot!
