This week we have been thinking about the Key Competency of Managing Ourselves

by focusing on treating others with respect.

We have also been showing some great skills in the Key Competency of Relating To Others.

 In maths over the last 2 weeks we have been working on a rich task where Farmer Green had to build a set of steps to get Jasper cat down of his barn roof...great problem solving guys!

We have had heaps of fun exercise in No Child Left Inside over the last few weeks using some super cool bits of equipment.

Finally have a listen to our Crazy Dinosaur poem. You can check out our own dinosaur pictures and writing on the Kidzstuff blog.

Thus week we have once again been out and about planting in our environment. This time we planted native grasses outside Renwick house to help attract more native birds to our school grounds.

In No Child Left Inside we enjoyed some team games using a fun variety of equipment.

 Our Rich Task in maths was based on the story The Wild Things.

 We came up with some great ways of solving the problem of how many horns there were altogether on our Room 10 Wild Things!

  In Art this term we are looking at different types of collage. This week we have used paper to make the feather effect on a rainbow kiwi bird, We will be using other collage techniques to finish these pictures next week and then use them for our Calendar Art work.
