What an awesome start to the year, Room 9 has had!  We have been on many adventures around our school and even a trip up to Waikanae with all our friends!  We can't wait to see what the rest of the term holds as we grow in numbers with some new buddies starting in the next few weeks.

Room 1 Camp Art

With Mrs Pinchin we constructed camp art out of pieces of nature. We designed pictures related to camping.

Room 1 cooks on a camp fire.

On Friday morning we had a combined Te Reo and Camp lesson with Whaea Adrienne.  We cooked tāhōhō on a rākau over an ahi.  Then we placed the tāhōhō between two pihikete. They tasted lovely.

Pandas

In Room 13 we have been learning all about panda bears as part of Chinese New Year.  We also created some colourful pieces of art to showcase our writing.  Here is some of our artwork and writing about the panda bear :

Panda Bears do number 2s when they sleep and they eat

bamboo too!  They have sharp teeth to eat the bamboo.
