Year 1 Skipping Day.

Here I am jumping over the long rope on our skipping day.  My family came along too!

Origami Art.

On Friday the 3rd of August, some Japanese homestay students visited us from Botany College.  We chatted to them first, took them for a tour around our school, and then they helped us to fold some Origami.  My buddy helped me to make a fan, two paper planes and a chomper.

My Fabulous Art Work.

    My Fish.

First we draw a picture from our memory.  Then we draw with the teacher, doing it very slowly.  We have to draw lines like zigzags, curves, circles and lines.  When our work is amazing, the teacher makes it bigger on the photocopier.  Then we can colour it in but we still have to BE VERY CAREFUL!  Here is our beautiful, super work from Term 1!

Fun and Fitness.

We have been working on our fitness this term and we have been trying some new activities.  Here I am skipping and

                                     using the ladder and hurdles.

Year 1, 2018.

Here I am on my first day in Room 1.

I am ready to do some great learning this year!

Diwali Divas

We have been learning about celebrations around the world.  One of the celebrations we explored was Diwali.  We learnt that it is known as the festival of light and one of the parts of this festival is lighting diva (pronounced "diya").  We made our own diva using clay and tea-light candles and then we decorated them with paint and glitter.  Happy Diwali everyone!

"You light divas when it is Diwali", said Elias.

Bunnings visits Elm Park

This week we were lucky enough to have Bunnings come and visit us and put together a fun day where students got to build a project.  Nga tamariki had an absolute blast hammering, glueing, problem solving and painting to create a masterpiece.  Here is a brief snap-shot of the fun:

"I liked decorating my photo box.  It was tricky hammering the nails in."

Baking Cookies

During mat time we read the story "The duckling gets a cookie".  This led onto a discussion about what types of cookies we like and what kind of baking we do at home.  Nga tamariki decided it would be fun to make some special cookies at school.  After baking the cookies we decided to share them with others, just like the duckling did in the story.  It made us feel happy to see people smiling when we gave them the special treat we had made.
