Week One Fun!

-
Check out all the amazing things we have been doing this week in Parerā 5!

Frankie, Sahel and Monty started school.




 Sahel celebrated his 5th birthday and his Mum brought in a delicious chocolate cake to share with us - good timing Mrs Lidstone!



A parerā (grey duck) visited Parerā 5!



We learnt about the letter 'a' so we went on an ant hunt.



We followed a recipe to make playdough. We used our playdough to make balls and worms and then we turned our worms into letters.










We chased bubbles for fitness.


We learnt a new maths game called 'Lilypads'. We are learning to identify the numbers 1-10.


We completed a maths activity in our activity books.


We visited Pīwakawaka 1/2 at the end of the day on Thursday to meet and play with
the other Year 1 children.



The children received their 'Welcome to School' certificates at Junior Assembly. 


We followed a recipe to make Chocolate Crackle Spiders - delicious!






We went over to P1/2 again to play with our Year One friends. Frankie made an awesome farm with the duplo and Sahel made a new friend who likes playing with cars too.



I wonder what amazing adventures we'll have next week!

Codey the Caterpillar

Today during our Inquiry-based play, we explored a programmable robot called Codey the Caterpillar. Each segment of its body had a different function such as 'play music', 'turn left' and 'flash lights'. By joining the segments in different sequences we could program Codey to do all sorts of different things. This was a great way for us to learn about directions - particularly telling left from right!

This term the Parerā children have been working on their Learning Goals. Maddie set herself the challenge of learning to tie her shoelaces. Maddie's clever Mum made her this amazing teaching shoe to help Maddie practise. What a great idea!

G G G...Ghost!

-

Today we learned about the letter/sound 'g'. Cara put vinegar in a bottle and then attached a balloon filled with baking soda over the neck of the bottle. When the vinegar and baking soda mixed it caused a chemical reaction and carbon dioxide gas was produced. This caused the balloon to inflate. The balloon looked like a scary ghost! After our experiment, we drew diagrams and wrote about the balloon ghost in our writing books. Before completing the experiment, lots of the children predicted that the balloon would explode and Shanaya thought we would have to spend the rest of the day cleaning up the classroom! Although the reaction was exciting, luckily it wasn't quite that dramatic! What fun we have at writing time.
