Saturday Morning Rugby

Here are a few pics of children from team Maunga at their second rugby day muster.  Great seeing the children learning the skills of rugby and how to work as a team.  Keep it up Team Maunga, you rock!

Plant Report Publishing

This week we broke into 2 groups for publishing.  One group published their work by hand to go up on our writing wall, and the other group published on explain everything, so we could share these examples and help us to reflect on our learning.

This weeks writing has focused lots on how we write reports, as a topic to focus on we looked mainly at plants and herbs.  The children really enjoyed going out each morning to gather herbs from our school garden.  On friday we painted some concrete blocks with the words Kawakawa on to support Team Awa's gardening as a thank you.

We talked about reports needing an introduction, followed by information specific to what it is the report is about, and then a conclusion.  Here are some of our finished publishing examples for you to enjoy and comment on.

Fourth Installment of Stop Motion Movies

Yes!  Here we are again.  The children in our team had great fun making these and are so eager to share.  We hope you enjoy.  Please keep commenting and adding your ideas and thoughts.  See if you can work out what these stop motions are about.
