Some water fun

Not quite the sunny day we ordered, but lots of fun anyway!

Maths Like A Pirate - Day 4

Can you build a tower without a hammer and nails?
We are taking up the challenge of building the tallest tower using only marshmallows, toothpicks and collaboration. Chocolate fish to the best collaborators and the tallest tower.

Christmas On The Beach

Our annual Bring and Sing is in a week's time. We are looking forward to having a picnic and a singalong. We are singing Christmas On The Beach. Can you please practise our song at home? We can also bring our ukulele in to learn the chords. The chords are below.

Maths Like a Pirate for Skippers

This week Skippers will be collaborating whilst doing some Maths Like a Pirate challenges. Here is them building a pirate ship to hold all their treasure - "argh me hearties!"

Shotover Air Show

We are doing a lot of thinking around writing this week in Skippers. We're looking at procedural texts (instructions). In order to understand how to write instructions, we had to follow some to make a paper plane.  Check out our planes! Next we're going to write our instructions.

Experimenting with Robots at Town Time

Look at the Joy on the children's faces. They are so excited to be learning using these robots with Miss Emma.

I do like to be beside the seaside.

Rainy afternoon in Skippers

When the Wetlands afternoon was cancelled Skippers decided to have an afternoon full of Joy. We were collaborating with each other to build a tower, writing in our free writing books, doing some mindful colouring, being creative and up-cycling some old boxes, working with Miss Eve to create a town-scape collage, making pictures with shapes and doing some exercise...phew, what an afternoon!

Skippers Skippers

Today at assembly Ms Bee reminded us of our school values. One of them is Growth Mindset. Here you can see Skippers children working hard to learn to skip. They didn't give up and worked really hard, even though it was tricky. We'll update you later. 

These Are The People In Our Neighbourhood

We celebrated our concept learning today. We have been learning about the different people in our community and how they help us.
Skippers stepped into the kitchen and made fruit kebabs. We know that chefs are people in our community who make food for others and bring them joy.
We also filmed our scenes for our concept movies. Thank you to the parents and kids for the efforts with dress ups, you all looked fabulous! We felt so safe at school today because we had so many firefighters and policemen/policewomen to look after us.
