Frozen Flakes

This is an information report on snow.
Snow is white. Snow is very cold. You can have lots of fun in snow. Snow is made of rain. I love snow. The higher you go the colder it gets. People ski down the mountains. Polar bears, reindeer and penguins are some animals that live in snow. You can make snowmen and snow balls. Lots of little raindrops are formed into one big raindrop. Snowflakes have six sides. Snowflakes have their own design. They are so small that we can’t see them. In winter everything freezes. All the trees and flowers do too. Hail is like snow.

Snow is cold and then colder. Then the weather makes me freezing! It is like winter.
Polar bears and seals live in the snow. We can play in the snow.

Giacometti Sculptures

Thank you for going to view our sculptures over the last couple of weeks and giving us wonderful feedback on them. They will be coming home at the end of next week.


Fun Run

Our Fun Run is just around the corner, next week, on Thursday 2nd July at 11.30am - 12.30pm. Whanau can meet up in the junior playground area. The children will be running around the outskirts of the big field which will involve running on the grass at times. We do appreciate that this will mean that it might be a bit muddy but that is all part of the fun! Please remember to send your child(ren) to school with sensible footwear for running, a drink bottle, spare shoes and socks and an extra snack for later in the day.


Arts Day

Next week, our team will be having an ‘arts day’ on Wednesday 1st July. Each teacher will be offering one of the four Arts disciplines; Visual Art, Dance, Drama and Music. The children will be moving around each teacher throughout the day and experiencing these disciplines in depth to build on what they have been learning in their hubs.


Maths

We are currently focussing on Measurement in our team. We are learning about ordering and comparing objects, using a variety of measurement words and estimating length. Please continue to build on these ideas at home as opportunities arise. 

Measurement

Posted on by
We are learning about words we use in measurement like long, short, skinny etc. This is our first lesson and we are using play dough to make different lengths and sizes. 
Check our worms out! 

My worm is really wriggly and I think it's 12metres long. 

My worm is fat and long. 

It's skinny and it's long.
