Circle Time #3

Judy came in this week to run circle time. 

She was talking to us about feelings and emotions. 

We had to identify what feeling the person was showing on their face and whether it was a 'green' or positive emotion or a 'red' or negative emotion. 

Then as a group we had to select a picture and assign the different words that the face may represent and justify our reasons.

Blogging Licences

Kauri Kids are working on getting their blogging licences. To do that they all have a criteria that they need to complete. Our Pencils writing group are seen here working on Chrome books writing their first blog posts, ready for when they can be the authors of their own blogs.

Chocolate Cake

We were so lucky to all get a piece of Taonga's birthday cake. It was delicious. Thanks!!

Genuis hour - Basketball

These two boys were interested in basketball and famous basketball players. They came up with the idea of sharing their learning with the class on a poster. The shape of the poster was of a body, so they asked the tallest student at school if they could draw around him. There was a lot of laughter while they were doing this.

Peachgrove Intermediate Visit

All the Year 6 students in Kauri Team travelled by bus to Peachgrove Intermediate to get a 'taste' of life at Intermediate. We were greeted by their kapahaka group and some of their teachers. 

Next we were split into three groups where we got to experience one of the arts and one of the technology options.

Some of us made toasted sandwiches and smoothies in food technology. 

In Hard Materials technology, we used different tools to construct a small wooden box with a lid.

 

We used the computers,in digital technology, to design a name tag.

The Arts options were drama, dance and music.

It was great to catch up with our friends that used to be at Hamilton East School.

Thanks Peachgrove Intermediate.

We had a blast and can't wait to come next year.
