N is for noodle necklaces ... P is for pasta ...

This week our focus letters have been 'p' and 'n'. To help consolidate our learning, and have fun at the same time, we made n oodle n ecklaces - and bracelets for some! Inspired by the macaroni we had used to make our necklaces, the next day we cooked p lain p asta. We drew picture plans to illustrate the process. We practised setting the table, using our table manners and clearing the table and washing our dishes after eating. A yummy afternoon treat!

Maddie's Goal

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!

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!
