Room 2

Earlier this term, the Junior classes took part in the Let’s Go Scooter Safety Skills programme provided by the New Plymouth District Council.

The focus was on how to be safe on their scooters. They learnt about how to make sure their helmets fit correctly to keep them safe. They practiced different ways to stop safely. Then they got to learn how to cross the road safely and how to scooter around the footpaths and driveways.

Lots of fun was had by all!

Thanks to the New Plymouth District Council for the fabulous lessons!

Room 3

Room 3 learnt about different art techniques as part of our Mahi Toi inquiry. We created watercolour birds for the Arts Showcase and used pastel, dye and paint to create butterflies for this year’s calendar art.

Here are some of our beautiful creations!

Room 4

Room 4 has enjoyed our Mahi Toi inquiry.  We had fun acting out some fairy tales.  Our favourites were ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’ and ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’.  We learnt about using different voices and acting using props.  We used lots of tū māia when we stood up in front of the school assembly and did our ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’ item.  For the Arts Showcase, we did a Visual Art display.  We painted fish, then used black pastel to draw out the colour, and then used blue dye in the background.
