Our Star the Sun

We have been learning about the Sun and how it affects night and day.  Stella and Rebecca were interested to find out that the Earth spins and the Sun's light creates daytime and night-time depending on which part of the Earth it is shining on.


 

Our Matariki Feast

We really enjoyed reading Daniel's Matariki Feast and the discussions we had around how we celebrate special occasions with family and friends. 

Paparoa Range were lucky enough to have our own Matariki feast at Blackball site and spent the afternoon making stars and poi while we waited for the food to cook.

Shantytown visit

Room 7 have been getting ready for Matariki and our school hangi.  Last Friday Rooms 2 and 7 visited Shantytown and took part in their Matariki programme.  Here are some photos of what we did...

Flying our Matariki kites.

Cheyenne and Elijah (our oldest Room 2 student and youngest Room 7 student) planting Paparoa Range's ti kouka in Shantytown's new bush clearing.  We can't wait to  come back and see how much our tree has grown!

Tens frames

The Pentagons group have been learning about tens frames.  We know a tens frame has ten spaces but they are really hard to draw!  You can see our hard mahi in our maths books.  Can you see our best attempts?

Rebecca's reptile descriptions

Here is Rebeccas work on reptiles.  She uploaded images and wrote a description for each reptile.  Rebecca got the information for the descriptions from the book The Reptile Park.
