Jump

On my birthday I went to jump.I went with Kodi, Riley, Charlie, Bella and Lucas. (lucas came because my brother had nobody to play with)I went on the fifteenth of may  that was my birthday of course.I chose to go too jump because I have never been to jump. we went in the car but the others did not come in my car because there wasn't enough space. When we got there everyone was waiting for us. We told the lady who we are and what we are doing and all that information. Then we finally got to see the place. There was a foam pit and a basket ball thing and there was trampolines.The walls were trampolines. Then we played and it was so fun I almost did a flip into the foam pit but it was sorta a spin but my brother did a flip. Finally we got to go and have some food. The food was yum, there was juice and sushi, lollipops and cake but the cake was a teddy bear with a guitar or ukulele I can’t really remember. Anyway I really didn't want that but still it was yummy!!!!!! Next we opened the presents. I got a panda that you had to sew together I also got a white board and white board pen, nerf bow and nerf bullets. I can’t remember the rest of the presents. Then we all went back to the fun!!!!

Snails and Slugs

Snails and Slugs!

Today we have been learning all about 'The Living World.'

One of the experiences was to observe and investigate the similarities and differences between snails and slugs.

We began we wonder about a lot of things, for example:

Why do snails move slowly?

Why do snails have tiny eyes?

Are snails carnivores or herbivores?

Are slugs and snails related?

Why do they like to stick together in large groups?

Why do they have slime or goo?

How can we learn about numeracy and winter at the same time?!

Today we learned what SYMMETRY means...

Did you know that symmetry is when something is the same on both sides.  It's like it is reflecting or mirroring itself.

You can check if something is symmetrical by drawing a line down the middle.  This is called a line of symmetry.

To apply our understanding we then made snowflakes.  We found that sometimes there can be more than one line of symmetry!

WALHT share our learning with Hub 9

Today we shared our learning with Hub 9. Some of the learning we shared was our progressions, break through learning, inquiry learning, maths learning, literacy learning, our Mihi and more!

Here are a few photos of us sharing our learning!

  

Planning our own learning days!

WALHT Plan our day. 

WALHT manage our time well. 

This week, hub 2 has been having a go at planning our own learning days. We love being able to choose what we want to do and when we want to do it. 

What were we doing this morning? 

Amber was working on her mandarin learning. 

Isabelle was practising her typing skills on dance mat typing.

Kate was using mathletics to improve her maths learning.

Santiago was conferencing with Mrs Ruffell, to add more detail to his writing plan. 

*We will be hosting a parent evening to explain our new timetable. More details to come soon!

Painting with straws: Part 1

We have been having a go at creating abstract paintings by blowing through straws.

Here's the video on how you use this technique:





Here's a video of a straw blowing artist:




We watched these videos and had lots of time to think about and discuss this new technique. Then we had a go using water on the concrete outside:

Then we practiced this technique using paint on paper. It was more tricky than we thought!

Our Recipes for Good Friends

Last week, Hub 2 talked about what makes a good friend. We collaborated to make recipes to show what qualities we thought a good friend should have.
