Buddy Class Fun!

Last Friday we spent some time practising our large ball skills. 

We got together with our buddies and tried to throw, catch, kick and bounce the balls.

Our big buddies were such good helpers and we had so much fun!

Days of the Week in Te Reo Māori

For the past two weeks, we have been learning the days of the week in Te Reo Māori. 

Mrs Harding taught us a song to help us remember the days. 

Check out the video of us singing. We are so awesome!

Assembly Certificates

This week at the Koru Whanau assembly Annabelle and Kiyaan received certificates for all the effort they've been putting into their Reading and Writing. 

Well done!

Buddy Class Science Experiment

This week for buddy class we went to Room 6 to watch them do a science experiment. 

They put skittles around the edge of a bowl and then added water. We were so amazed at how all the colours went into the middle of the bowl. 

After that, we all read one of our books to our buddies. 

What a fun Friday we had with our buddies!

Koru Whanau Disco

On Friday we had the Koru Whanau disco. 

We had so much fun dancing along to all the songs. 

Room 13 had some fantastic dance moves!

Congratulations Leo!

Last week Leo received the Principal's Award for Growth. Well done Leo!

Fine Motor Friday

On Friday we spent the afternoon practising our fine motor skills. We do this to help make the muscles in our fingers and hands nice and strong which helps with Writing, drawing and many other daily activities. 

To do this we had to use tongs or pegs to pick up and move small objects, we threaded string through little holes, we joined paper clips together to make a long line, we used cotton buds to paint dots and we played with playdough. 

Room 13 had so much fun. We want to do this all the time!
