Making Potions
So…..the wolf has eaten Grandma, Little Red Riding Hood and a whole cake. Now he has a sore tummy, so we have made our own potions to make him feel better. Messy fun in Parekereke today
Gingerbread Men Baking
Te Ra have been learning about fairy tales and writing our own. One of the fairy tales we have been talking about is The Gingerbread Man, so we decided it would be fun to make some – and hope they don’t run away! We got to make two batches so were split into two groups. We each got an instruction card and had turns at doing different things. Check out the photos to see the steps we had to take to make our delicious gingerbread men and women.
Steel Mill Fire Service Fun Day
The Steel Mill Fire Service came to visit us and set up some fun activities that we could do. Here are some photos from the day. Can you spot someone you know? This is what we had to do: 1. Put on the firefighter uniform 2. Pick up the hose 3. Run around the fire extinguishers 4. Put the hose down and smash the weight using the heavy hammer 5. Run to the hose and squirt the water at the target 6. Run back to the start and take off the uniform. PHEW!… Read More
Life Education Truck
We had a blast at the Life Education Truck learning all about our bodies. We loved Harold and thought he was quite funny! The truck was super cool with lights that could change colours and a big screen that helped us to learn by looking at a body. We learnt about our respiration, digestion and circulation systems.
We love Tens Frames!
We are using tens frames in class as they are a great way to learn how to recognise numbers. We are able to identify the numeral, the tens frame, the tally and sometimes we can find the word too (but they are pretty tricky!)
Beware of who lives here!!!
We have started to learn about Fairy Tales in Parekereke. One morning when the students arrived they found pebbles dropped down the corridor. They carefully followed the pebbles and discovered a house covered in sweets!!! I wonder who live here? A big thank you to Miss K for creating this wonderful experience!
