Easter celebrations on the last day of term 1!

Today we celebrated the last day of term 1 with an Easter Egg Hunt in the sensory garden for the junior classes. With our partner, we had to search for a tiny Easter egg each and a bunny. Each bunny had a letter on it. When we got back to the teachers, we had to make a sentence with all the letters that we found. Our sentence read: "Happy Easter to you!"

Off they go!

Music!

Making music with Whaea Jen!

We are learning to beat with drumsticks.
We can clap to keep the beat.

Wyatt is happy to be the lead drummer!

We need to work together as a team.

We concentrate and say the beat in our heads.

Then we tried to keep the beat with the piano keys.

That sounds SO good!

We loved the spooky sounds of the xylophones

Statistics with M&Ms ! ! !

We have been learning about making graphs in our maths topic, Statistics. Today we were given a packet of M&Ms to sort into colour groups. Then we made a block graph to show how many of each colour were in our packet.

St Patrick's Dress Up Day 2022

Today we celebrated St Patrick's Day by having a "green" dress-up day here at Paparore School. Here are Te Pihi's little leprechauns! We watched a YouTube clip about the meaning of St Patrick's Day and we did some writing about it. Sophie was our "Writer of the Day!" Here is her story.
