Painting A Water Scene

We are learning to paint a water scene.

Success Criteria: 
We will know we can do this when we look at our painting we will see:
• a horizon line
• the sky will touch the horizon or the land or the sea.
• there will be water in our painting. 
• We think about the way we use colours and line. We use different shades and colours. The lines will be long and wavey or short and straight. We will layer the colours.

Flower Arranging on Calf and Lamb Day

One of the activities we enjoy on Lamb and Calf day is arranging flowers. Children also made bird feeders and wove flowers from flax leaves. 


Hit It! Tennis Coaching

We've been having lots of fun learning some skills for playing tennis. Thanks to Henry, our coach, we have learned the names of the different parts of a tennis racquet and how to hold it properly. 
We have fun learning through playing games like; bumper cars, scoop the ball, and flip-flop. Next week we will try our hand at Badminton. 

Life Education

When the Life Education Classroom came to our school we learned about the circulatory system. 
Harold the Giraffe took us on a journey through the body on the "Heart Central" train. We shrank to the size of a piece of fluff and travelled through the arteries and veins. We visited the heart, the lungs, the brain and the muscles. It was very exciting. And of course we all got to give Harold a special hug!
