Rapunzel

We were very lucky to watch a play called Rapunzel. It was really funny. We had to join in by clapping, singing and calling out.

Alice and Ella thanked the actors for putting on a great show, well done girls.

What was your favourite part of the play and why?

Stitching

Today the yellow table started stitching their canvas. Lines were drawn on the canvas with black vivid and the students then painted the shapes they had created. Liz taught them how to thread a needle, knot the end and do running stitch. The students are learning to listen to instructions, concentrate and persist with their work. Liza was impressed at how quickly the students picked it up.

Buddy Time

This afternoon we shared our Portfolios with our buddy class. We showed them things we were proud of.

Winter Warmers

Each week we have been focusing on a book and doing an activity to go with it. Here are some examples of the work the students have done.

Winter Warmers is organised by the Feilding library and a librarian will be coming in to check our work on Friday.

Jiggling Jellyfish

Today we completed our water themed art. Each class has created an art work and they are going to be sold, the money will go towards protecting the Maui dolphin. If you are interested in buying this art work, more information will be sent home in the next newsletter.
