Welcome to our 3 new students who have recently joined our kura:
Iyana, Azayleah and Maringi.

We loved going to our health lessons in the Life Education Truck!

Sharee and Harold teaching us about friendship.

We learnt under a starry sky!

We are doing our 'must do' tasks at reading time.
Look how independent we are!

 

Baking ANZAC biscuits

ANZAC biscuits were baked by wives and womens' groups to send to the soldiers who went to war. They use ingredients that do not "spoil" easily and the biscuits kept well for the long journey on ships. We made ANZAC biscuits to remember the brave men and women who went to war. We all took turns to add the ingredients into the bowl and then stir them. 

Then we rolled the mixture into balls to make our own biscuit.

They tasted so yummy!

 

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

 

Fitness Fun!

Jump Jam Fitness 

We do fitness every Tues, Wed and Fri after morning tea.

The Seniors teach us what to do.

The whole school joins in.

"WHO let the dogs out?"

We love exercising to music!

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.
