RHYTHM AND FUN!

On Wednesday afternoons, the children in Piako are taking part in an Arts Rotation.   All the classes have been mixed up so we can spend time with our friends in other classes. 


Each Piako teacher is taking a different aspect of The Arts.   We spend two weeks with each teacher before moving to the next class.

Here are a few photos of the children who stayed in LC 2 with Mrs Lunn.   They were learning all about rhythm and musical notation.   Next the children practised some clapping patterns and then got to be a composer and write their own clapping pattern.  They each had a turn at being the conductor when the children performed the music that they had written.   Mrs Lunn said the kids made great conductors.

LUNCHTIME BUDDIES!

Look who was writing at our new Writing Station at lunchtime ... Korbin and Sam.  Great to see them enjoying each others company.

MAKING WORDS!

Mrs Lunn has made us a new game called Making Words.   We have to look at the picture and use the magnetic letters to spell the word.   These photos  were taken before school when Allie and Emma were testing out the game.  They seemed to enjoy it.

WORD TOWER!

We have a game in reading called Word Tower.   The cups all have words on them.  We have to read the word and if we get it correct,  we can start building a tower with the cups.  Today we worked together to build this ENORMOUS tower!   It's a bit tricky to tell from the photo but it is actually a giant circular structure.   We demonstrated great team work and creativity today, not to mention how many words we knew!

WELCOME TO TERM THREE!

We are back at school and are already learning new things.   In Maths we are learning about 3D shapes.  Yesterday we made a ramp and investigated which shapes roll or slide down it.   We found out that spheres and cylinders can do both because they have flat and curved surfaces.

PIZZA SYMMETRY!

Today is Wednesday.   Some of us are having pizza for lunch.   Mrs Lunn thought it was the perfect day to learn about symmetry.   We had to make our pizzas symmetrical. That means they need to have the same toppings on both sides of the pizza in the exact same place.   We checked in the mirror to see if we were right!
