Te Pā o Moki - Marae Trip
Mrs Bayley and Miss Hollings' Homerooms went to Te Pā o Moki marae today!! We had such a blast! We went on a bus. We were welcomed onto the marae. We sung Waiatas. We ate kai and said our Mihimihi. We learnt about our Te Manu Tukutuku -South Hornby Schools' cultural narrative (story). We had so much fun! A day full of exploring, listening and understanding new learning. Oh and we got to see and touch (if we wanted to) short and long fin tuna (eels)!! Oh such fun! Not to mention, our very own principal showed us how to use harakeke to make Ika (fish) . How lucky are we!
Swimming Fun
Water safety is an important part of our curriculum. We are teaching our children how to behave safely around and in the water. Look at some of our learning. REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR TOGS EVERY DAY!
Mrs Bayley's Maths Class
MEASUREMENT - LENGTH We have been learning all about measurement. We have been using mathematical language like short, shorter and shortest. We have been exploring and practising how to use these words in sentences to describe what we have measured. We have been exploring and learning how to measure objects using non-standard units e.g. cubes, blocks, paperclips etc. We brought a special toy to school. We had a great chat about who our toy is and if they are tall or short. If they are long or short or big or small. Have a look at our amazing work we have been doing! .

Miss Hollings' Measurement Masters
Our maths focus at the moment is on measurement. We have been learning all about how to measure different things around the classroom. Today we went outside and traced around our bodies. We then used multilink cubes to measure how many cubes long our body parts are. Take a look at some of our fabulous maths work.
Nature's Self Portraits
This week in Miss Hollings' homeroom, we have been focusing on 'all about me'. As a part of this, we got to go outside and make self portraits using some of the natural resources we have at school. Check out some of our creations!
