Happy Holidays!

Rm 24 game!

It's been great seeing you on our afternoon Google Meets Jacob. We like to play "I spy with my little eye" and have a turn at guessing the word. Today you showed us your Lego creation of a level crossing. I hope that you can write a story about this? From Mrs Carter.

Jacob's crystals

At our afternoon Google Meet, Jacob showed us one of his crystals from his collection. Then he shone a torch on it and it changed colour to orange! Thank you for sharing, from Mrs Carter.

Rm 24 Google Meet

Yesterday afternoon we had the best turnout at our 2pm Google Meet of 12 children and 2 support staff online. Can you see yourself and your friends? We talked about who has a "Pop It" at their house and we showed them to each other... This is Mrs Carter's rainbow teddy one!

Painting with my brother

Jacob and his little brother Jedi have been super busy and creative painting these ceramics during lockdown. What a fun way to keep busy and creative at home! Thank you for sharing your mahi from Mrs Carter.

Train master.

Jacob has continued to have a real interest in trains, level crossings and carriages. He drew some pictures on the iMac which he wanted to share on his blog. Keep up the great work from Mrs Carter.

Ms Gaston's puppy!

Jacob has been quite taken by Ms Gaston's new puppy called Maple. She has come to visit us at school and is very well behaved on her lead. Jacob was able to shake her paw while Ms Gaston was busy talking to Team 2. I liked the way you look after animals in a caring way Jacob. Kapai mahi from Mrs Carter.

My trip to Stardome!

Jacob enjoyed travelling by bus to Cornwall Park in Greenlane to visit the observatory. He was particularly fascinated by the large telescope and enjoyed learning more about the earth and surrounding stars and planets. He also had fun at the playground with his friends! What did you like best?

Making paper snakes!

Today I had fun folding two pieces of coloured paper and then glued them together to create this pretend snake. I learnt about over and under and repeating the pattern.

PES picnic!

On Friday 26th February we enjoyed a hikoi down to Pt England reserve to have a picnic lunch, swim in the sea with Mrs Carter, play on the playground and make sandcastles on the beach. It was great to see you having so much fun Jacob and see how much you like being in the water. This is part of our Term 1 Inquiry topic of Cherish our Treasures - Tiaki Taonga. We learnt to look after our natural environment and not leave our rubbish behind.

Water safety in Term 1!

For the next two weeks Team 2 get to go swimming at the Glen Innes pools. Jacob enjoyed learning how to float on his back like a starfish! He also liked playing "Ring o ring a Roses" with his peers.
