Calf Club Day Projects

Calf Club Day on PhotoPeach

Pavement Art

It is Book Week this week. All the classes did illustrations from books on the tennis court. We drew Meanies. We were so impressed with the work of the other classes that we have included some of their work too.

Chopper Challenge

This is one of the exercises we did on the final day of the Westpac Chopper Challenge.

Fruit and Vegetable Prints

We are thinking about foods that are good for us. We think one of the things that the All Blacks do to be the very best is eat lots of fruit and vegetables.

World Rugby Cup Bananas

Our bananas are going to the World Rugby Cup. Some are players and others are spectators.

Our New Class Sign

Letter Formation

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Livia's mum taught us to sing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in Finnish.

Double Hulled Sailing Waka

We used objects around the classroom to create a double hulled sailing waka like the kind that the first Maori may have used to come to New Zealand. We are going to look at waka in Auckland Museum to see how to complete it. This website will also be helpful

Spelling

Here are our spelling words for the week. We are learning strategies to help us spell such as
* listening to the beginning sound
* listening to rhymes / end sounds
* looking at the word
* writing the word
It is fun writing the words on Wordle

Insects

We studied insects and researched the plants that attract butterflies to our gardens. Look at the Yellow Admiral butterfly that came to Mrs Lieftinck's garden in the holidays. What kind of plants do you think it likes? Why?

Grasshopper Tennis

We enjoyed our tennis lessons with Mr Brindle very much. We learned how to bounce, balance, catch and hit the ball.

Look at our visitor

This baby sparrow came into our classroom, and hopped around and on the children. It only flew away when the camera flashed.
