Malo e lelei bloggers,
We hope you're enjoying your Term 3 learning! We can't believe how quickly the term's going - how is it already Week 7?!! š®
As you know we've been learning about plants and trees this term. To wrap up this learning we created some spring tree-inspired artwork using a rolled paper technique. Check them out below!
Hello bloggers,
This term we have been learning about plants and what they need to be able to grow and thrive. We learned that they need soil, water, air, sunlight and space. We are conducting a special science experiment to see what happens if we withhold some of these things when growing plants from seeds.
Check out the pieces of writing below that explain how we set up our experiment and what our predictions are.
Hi again! š
We love Greedy Cat here in Arapere Class. Earlier in the year, we read Greedy Cat's Door and had a go at writing a retell of the story. We also made some Greedy Cats of our own using a collaging technique.
Take a look at our work.
Kia ora bloggers!
Last term we were lucky enough to visit the All Blacks Experience. We had a great time learning about some of the All Black's history as well as how they prepare themselves for games.
Our favourite part was when we got to have a go at some of the skills the All Blacks work hard to perfect such as passing, kicking, and line-outs. If you haven't already been we'd definitely recommend it.
Happy Samoan Language Week everyone!
This week in Arapere Class we have been learning lots of new Samoan words for the items around our classroom, like tusi (book), penitala (pencil), seleulu (scissors) and many more. We have also been lucky enough to try some traditional Samoan dishes like koko Samoa and kokoalaisa, thanks to our wonderful Learning Assistants, Mrs Falefa and Miss Taua.
To end our week we designed and made our very own Samoan ili (fan) - not very useful with the weather the way it is at the moment, we admit, but they'll certainly come in handy when the weather warms up again. Here's an ata (photo) of our finished work.
Fa'afetai tele lava for reading our blog!
