We are learning about Patterns in Maths

 Did you know that patterns repeat?

Patterns might be colours or shapes, jumps and hops or even claps!

We have done a number of different activities learning about patterns.

Miss Courtney led the tamariki in making patterns using their bodies.

Learning Routines

 As part of our beginning of the year settling in, the tamariki have been learning about the routines in Te Ope Ruaraki.

One of our focuses is Keeping our environment tidy. In these photos the tamariki are playing together and then putting away their things before the next activity.

Lots of learning today

 It's week 2 of the year and we are busy learning in Te Ope Ruaraki.

This morning we practised some fast words, so we know how to write them in our stories. Then we wrote stories. 

After lunch we got to the pool. The tamariki were very excited to have their first swim of the year at school.

Knowledge Web About Bees

Things we know about Bees

Here are some of the things we learnt about bees.

• Bees pollinate flowers
• They use their wings to mix the nectar into honey.
• Bees go to lots of flowers to collect nectar before they go back to the hive.
• Bees know how to find their hive.
• We take the honey to put it on our toast or our sandwiches.
• Worker give food to the baby bees.
• Queen bee lives in the hives.
• Bees can fly
• Bees are black and yellow.
• Bees have six legs.

This is the knowledge we made today.  Can you see how many more things we know now.

 

 

Year 0 - 3 Farm Trip

What a fantastic day we had!  We saw lambs, calves, rabbits, guinea pigs, sheep, pigs, horses and more.  The students had a great experience, and enjoyed their fun filled day.

Thank you to the parents who volunteered their time, without you these trips are not possible.

Web of Knowledge

 Today we made a web of knowledge.  Where a child is holding the thread is a place where we could knew something about bees.  We are going to do this again after we have done our learning about bees and flowers and see if our web is much bigger.
