Top Teams

 On Thursday afternoon we were lucky enough to have Top Teams come to us and set up some awesome team building activities. A huge thank you to all the parents who gave up their afternoon to come and help us. Check out the fun we got up to!

A Little Seed

 Today for poetry we read the poem 'A Little Seed' then we planed some seeds that we were lucky enough to have donated to us. We will grow our seeds into vegetable plants that we will plant in our vegetable gardens outside Huritini.

Sasha, Rory and Finns Planting Day.

On Monday, we (Sasha, Finn and Rory) went to Muir Park to plant some plants so the rubbish wouldn't get into the water and so the mud wouldn't slip into the awa. Also the eels like the shade so we planted trees for them to have shade.

We felt two eels. They felt slimy and very yucky. One of them slithered away because it was on a slope.

We found two duck eggs. One of them was covered in grubs. We built a nest in a small bush for them.

Salt Dough Maths

 For maths this week we have continued to learn about fractions. This week we made salt dough, we had to measure the correct amount of each ingredient by following the recipe instructions.

.   

Then we had to knead the dough, we cut shapes out of our salt dough and then cut them into halves and quarters. we had to remember that each half or quarter had to be the same size.
