Measurement

Posted on 22 June, 201522 June, 2015 by Amy Buick

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.

Food Gathering

Posted on 13 May, 201514 May, 2015 by Susan Walsh

What did the Maori use to carry food away from the river and ponds? This was a long time before supermarkets and plastic bags. They used the harakeke that grew by the river to make kete. We were lucky to be able to learn how to make our own kete. Does this mean we'll never have to go to the supermarket again?

Thank you to Pam or showing us how to weave harakeke.
