Play based learning

We read the book Clever Mr Brown.  Mr Brown made his own airplane and had to be creative for it to fly.  We created our own planes and tested them. 

Music

Music

This term we have been having fun playing on lots of different instruments in the music room. We have learnt how to identify the beat and play along with the music in time using the percussion instruments. We have also been learning how to play some chords on the ukulele. We have practiced singing songs and playing the ukulele at the same time and we persevered even when we found it a bit tricky to begin with. The students are working at the curriculum expectation for music.

Maths - Patterns

Learning Goal: to identify, make and continue patterns.

We created a poster and learned about the similarities and differences of families in our class.  

Visual Art - Term 3

We looked at koru and kowhaiwhai patterns in picture books and practiced drawing them.

Then we visited the art gallery and learned more about Māori motifs.  

We created an artwork there by cutting out the shapes we saw and overlapping them.

We were inspired by the work of Reuben Paterson and created our own glitter art.
