We finished our online learning with a dress up and pet sharing

We decided to finish our online learning with a dress up day. What a great assortment of dressups. We had a cow, a cat, a sherriff, a skeleton, a pirate, Ana and Elsa from Frozen, a leopard, a lion, Ariel and a butterfly. Check out the photo of some of our gorgeous characters. It was really fun to dress up.

Check out some of the pets we mwt. They were very well behaved and we enjoyed finding out about them.

Taking photos on our iPad

We had a challenge this week to take photos using our iPads.

We had topics that we could choose to take our photos about.

When we had taken our photos we needed to make a pic collage as this is one of the apps on our iPad. We learnt how to insert pictures and how to insert text and make changes to it. It was great to share our pic collages with each other. We think you will enjoy looking at and reading them too.

Shadow Power

On a lovely West Coast day we were able to experiment with creating our own shadow art. We used our shadow and any other natural materials we could find to enhance our art work. We thought our shadow art looked great and Mrs Scott was really impressed with our creativeness. Awesome work, we nailed it.

Our Laundry Art

There is a Teacher's face book page and on this page there are some fabulous ideas that teachers share with one another. This is where Mrs Scott found the idea of the laundry art. On Friday this was one of the activities that we could choose.

Look at some of the fabulous art work we came up with. What super artists you all were. I loved seeing your creations.

We have loved doing our handwriting at home

Even though we have been doing our learning online we have all really enjoyed continuing with our handwriting at home. We do our handwriting all together in our google meet at 12pm and Ann joins us as well, just like she does when we are at school. We have been reflecting on our work by circling the letter, sound, word or number in each line that we think has been formed the best. When we have been practising, we remember the language that Casey Caterpillar uses to form each letter or sound. On Friday at Assembly we chose to share our handwriting with the school. Ka pai Weka Teina for your great work.

We made a reading hut

Each day we finish our online learning with listening to a story. On Friday we were lucky enough to hear two stories. Our challenge in the morning was to make a reading hut they we could use to listen to the stories in. Our class really enjoyed making our huts to do our listening in. Have a look at the huts we created.
