Dinosaur Castle

Today Patrik, Jesiah and Jacob worked hard to create Dinosaur Castle.

"Dinosaurs live up on the top of it because that's where the food is". - Jacob

" They can't change caves and move out or else the Dinosaur doctors will operate on the wrong dinosaur and they might get even more sick". - Jesiah

Battle War

This morning in Te Māuru-e-taki-nei a group of boys decided to get creative with the rods and blocks and make a battle ground.  It was great to see the collaboration and co-operation as they worked together without any problems.

Relating to Others

Something from our youngest students this time...
Te Ope Ruaraki students (Rm2-4) working together, using their sharing and co-operative skills to create things together.  Taking turns, talking nicely and helping each other - all important skills to grow into heroes.

Learning Routines

Te Māuru-e-taki-nei (Rm 9/10 home space) are learning all of the Creative Play activities at Literacy and Numeracy time. They are learning to speak kindly to each other, work together, share, take turns, and have fun.
