A is for apple!

 A, a, Ally Alligator likes apples!

First we learnt how to write upper and lower case Aa

We learnt how to use a special machine to cut our apples.

We made a spiral shape!

Then we ate them! Amazing!!

A fun start to 2024!

 Te Pihi in 2024!!

Welcome to all our new students and their families! We are happy to have you all in the Te Pihi whanau!

Here's a peek at how we have started our year of learning...

Look at our kind and happy tamariki!

Science in a Story

 Cooper the Ant!

Te Pihi read a great story called 'Grant the Ant.' We learnt a lot about an ant colony, the ants' tasks, and their life cycle.

Cooper wrote a great story and was our 'Writer of the Day!'

Then Cooper volunteered to act as an ant and show part of the the life cycle. Science is fun!

The queen lays the eggs.
When the larvae hatch out, they spin a cocoon around themselves.

Breaking out of the cocoon after four months! "How's that!?"

Now he is called a pupae. He wakes up so hungry!

Off goes Cooper the Ant to find food wherever he can.

Mm-mm... yummy ant food at the Seedling Cafe!!

Learning Fun!

 We have fun learning in Te Pihi!

Maths construction with colours, shapes, cooperation and compromise. 

Our pepeha/ tatai rangatira is how we introduce our school.

Come and see them in the school office.

Completing our maths tasks.

Learning is fun!

Science in a Van

 Bubble Fun!

Everyone had so much fun at the recent bubble show. 

                                           We have learnt some scientific words by having fun!

A special mixture!

Reaction!

The presenters were most impressed by all of our tamariki
and their advanced thinking skills!

Some of our best science questioners.

Watch out Jackson...

Woops! Bubble pop on head!

Thank you Emily and Alan for a great, interactive, fun show!
