Grass Huts

-

We were keen to run around on the field and throw grass at each other, during our mask break. But once Whaea Lesley told us that when she was at primary they collected the grass cuttings and made houses, we decided to give it a go too. 

All of us created our own rooms off a main room floor plan.  Wahidah, Mo'onia and Shael even decorated their "walls" with pohutukawa flowers, leaves and sticks.

    Hi Room 26,
    That must be pretty fun making huts out of grass!
    You all are very creative decorating the huts and making them.
    How long did it take for everyone to finish making their huts?

Experiments with Force and Motion

-

As part of our exploration into Force and Motion, we have been making Marble Runs, Marble Mazes and Domino Chains. Cyrus created an effective chain of DVD cases and books, beginning his chain by rolling a ball towards it and also getting it to run around a corner. With the challenge on to experiment with a large run of dominoes, Joshua built a superbly complex design. He used a range of layered dominoes, a car race track and a small car to launch his chain. If you would like more information or to see what others have created and learnt, please scroll down to the padlets below and view our class work which is getting updated and added to most days.

Our Summer Challenge poem - Writers Circle

 We've been given a challenge to write a summer poem, that uses only 3 of our senses, based on a picture of a boy mowing a lawn.  Stage 1 was to draw and then brainstorm some ideas for the sounds and smells we would have on a summer's day while lawns are being mown in the neighbourhood. Today's stage was to read the mentor's piece of writing, and look at the set out and language used. Using highlighters we located nouns, verbs and adjectives; talking about how they were used and what they do in a piece of writing. Our next stage is to write our own, and share with each other so that we can make it come alive for our readers.
