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?!! ๐ฎ
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!
Hi again! ๐
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.
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!
Kia ora bloggers!
We hope you're well, wherever you are in the world. ๐
This week Miss Nodder introduced us to Tock's Lockdown Toilet Roll Competition where we were set the challenge of designing and making something out of the materials around our house. We could make anything we wanted but it had to include at least one empty toilet roll or paper towel roll.
One super creative Hansen Class student rose to the challenge and created a cat pencil case almost entirely out of toilet rolls! Not only is it creative but it's practical too!
If you would like to help Krisha win the competition, all you need to do is open the link below and click on the big green voting button underneath Krisha's picture. Krisha, and the rest of Hansen Class, would definitely appreciate your vote. ๐
Good luck Krisha!
Kia ora bloggers!
We hope you've had a great start to the week.
With Auckland still in lockdown we're continuing to work away at our distance learning tasks. Here are some of the latest pieces of work we've sent through to Miss Nodder. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as she did. ๐
