Did You Ever?

We read the Poem 'Did You Ever?' written by Nathan Reed from Te Tii School.  We talked about what was happening in the poem, how it made us feel and how the words painted a picture in our minds of similar things we had done.  

We used the pattern to write our own poems using our experiences and feelings. We are going to illustrate them for a class book. 

Giraffe Art

We read the book 'All Afloat on Noah's Boat' written by Tony Milton.  We talked about all the different animals that went onto the ark and decided that the giraffe was our favourite.  This led us to painting our own super cool giraffes.  We mixed the colours of red and yellow to make the shade of orange that we wanted for our giraffes.  

We are pretty proud of them and they have really brightened up our classroom walls too.  For those people that can't get into see them here they all are...

Getting down to work

Here are a few photos from the first week of school as we settle into working in our new class, Room 2.  

Our Holiday Reflections

In the first week of school we reflected on our holidays using our five senses remembering things we could still see, hear, smell, feel and taste.  We then published our stories on the iPads using the Book Creator app.  This is the product of all our hard work.
