Friday Fun Day!

What a day of learning today!  Look at what Tahi and Toru have been up to today...

Lots of careful measuring



Sticking on each streamer

The sunny rainbows are taking shape
















The children worked together so well, persisting and striving for accuracy with their measuring.  They helped each other out - awesome teamwork Tahi and Toru children!

It was dress-up day today.  

We all dressed up as people we would like to be when we grow up.  Fun, fun, fun!



We joined a parade around the school basketball court.  
The whole school clapped for us!




Toru class joined the parade too.

Toru's Finger painting

 We are painting some petals
 We LOVE finger painting
 We are mixing red and white and blue and white 
 We are trying to use just one finger.......... it is tricky!
 We are looking forward to doing it again soon.....
Watch this space.  They will be on our classroom walls in a couple of weeks- so come and check them out soon!

Pattern Making

Today Tahi class made repeating patterns using lots of different maths equipment.  What patterns can you see?

Blue, red, yellow, blue, red...

Pin board patterns

I love the colours in this repeating pattern!

A true Canterbury pattern.

Wow - look at this amazing effort!
