Matariki Art

 We completed some art work for Matariki.  We made the stars in the sky, ripped paper to make the Southern Alps and used chalk pastels to show the Southern Lights in the night sky during winter time. We then put on our Matariki star cluster. In our class we enjoy making art work. Some parts were a little tricky and we had to show our patience - especially when we were ripping the paper in the shape of the mountains and when we were cutting out the Matariki star cluster. 

 We did think our art work turned out really well and we were very proud of what we had achieved. Ka pai Wēka Teina - awesome work!!

Happy Father's Day

 Weka Tēina were very excited to make this special art for their dad's on Father's Day.  They made a rock man with a super hero cape with the caption 

                                                                              Dad   

                                                                       My Hero........ 

                                                                          My rock!  

I hope all our dad's had a super day today. I did remind them that all their dad would want was a super well behaved child!!!

Happy Father's Day, Love Weka Tēina

A very big thank you to Mrs Minehan and Keiryn who helped us.

We made dancing popcorn

We made dancing popcorn. It was lots of fun to watch it. We talked about why the popcorn could dance and then we wrote out it. Take a look at our fantastic writing.

Maths is Fun

Check out some of the math we have been doing while we've been learning online. We all enjoy maths.

We wrote a story about 'When the Wild Things came to Weka Tēina'

We created our own Wild Thing and then wrote a story about what happened when our own 'Wild Thing' first came to school and then what they had learnt since becoming a member of Weka Tēina. When we get back to school we are going to illustrate (draw the pictures) that match our story using the Wild Thing that we created. We think our story will be great and lots of people are really going to enjoy reading it. Have a look at some of the things our 'Wild Things' did when they first came to school and what they have since learnt.

We're still learning our letter sounds and names even when we are not in our learning space at school!!

Mrs Scott thinks she has the best class in the whole wide world. Even though we are not at school we are all working 'online' to learn our letter names and sounds and also at home with our whānau to learn. Today we learnt about the letter 'd' and the sound it makes.

We had to find something at our house that started with the 'd' sound and look at all the great things we found and shared with each other.

We have also been adding some great work to our learning slides. Check some of these out.....

Great work Weka Tēina, you really are the best.
