A Day In The Life Of Pounamu

Want to know what we do all day?
Look at our learning below.....

Puppets and Parfaits

We, the Explorers and Discoverers, shared our learning about mechanisms. We created puppets using a simple mechanism.  We performed a song from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, "Doll On A Music Box/Truly Scrumptious".

The puppet making process was very challenging. A lot of us had to start from scratch more than once as our puppets weren't big enough. 

Thank you for coming to see our learning journey.

Tuakana/teina buddies

We met our buddy for writing time today. 

Our buddy is going to help us learn and encourage us. 

The older or more experienced buddy is the tuakana.

The younger is the teina.
