Swim Safe!

 We are learning how to be safe around water.

If we fall into the water we should make a huddle and hold onto our mates.

Always wear a life jacket when you are on a boat, waka, jet-ski, paddle-board or kayak. 

It's very important to wear the right sized life jacket...

...or will slip right out of it if you fall into the water!

Raise one hand if you get into difficulty and need help in the water.

Thank you Whaea Rhonda for teaching us about currents and rips when we are at the beach.

Level 3 Lockdown

Google Meets in November Lockdown 

And just like that the Far North went into lockdown again!

So on Thursday 4th November, Te Pihi went back to doing their learning from home.

They looked at our Te Whare Kiwi site to find their tasks.

Some had their iPads delivered to their homes. Some used devices they had at home.

Most did their reading on-line using their PM books that were assigned to them.

Lots did Reading Eggs and MathSeeds activities.

Each school day, we had a get together on Google Meet! 

It was so good to see that everyone was well and happy!

We shared our news, what we had been up to, chores, photos, toys, backgrounds, jokes and even had a scavenger hunt together!

We all agree that it's much better learning and playing together with our friends AT school!

Term 4 Starts

 Te Pihi starts Term 4!

We are all excited about our new sensory garden that was built during the October holidays!

Spring blossom Art!

First we coloured in the tree trunk.

Then we painted green grass on the bottom.

Next we used brocolli to stamp pink and white paint on to make the blossoms.

Making our own Foam Fairies!
