H is for Hip Hip Hooray for the 100th day!

Wow we made it to 100 days of school - awesome.  Was a really fun day thanks for all the effort that was put into the collections.

We had a great time sharing our collections this morning and did lots of maths problems.  They will probably keep us busy for the next week as we work our way through them!

We meet our new buddy class this morning and shared cake with them - YUM!

All the children got to go to two activities where teachers has all sorts of fun activities today - there were 100 day glasses and monsters with 100 eyes, pictures using the numerals 1, 0 and 0, 100 straw challenges...the children that came to Room 6 made 100 day hats - each hat had 10 strips, and each strip had 10 things on them...and as a bonus they looked super cute!!

Thanks for all the cans - we will do a bit more counting and building before we send them to the food bank!

M is for Matariki

This week we celebrated Matariki in Room 6.

We learnt about Matariki - the Maori New Year.

We read this book together 

We wrote stories and created our own art, they look super up on our walls.

Matariki is a time for making things and we got busy...  We shared our new learnings on a class korowai, we are very proud of it.

We made and flew kites

We made tiki necklaces

We made porotiti

We made kai - star fairy bread

We also did some weaving.

What a great way to end the term.
