Our identity

We have been learning about our identity and where we are from. We have also been learning how to make a collage in Google Draw. We had to layer the different shapes and find textured colours to make the different parts stand out.

Where are your from?

How to check your bike is safe

We have been learning about how to check that a bike is safe to ride. The best part of doing this is being able to ride the bike after.

Did you know what to do before getting on your bike?

PJ day!

Today at Papakura Central School we had a PJ day to raise money to pay off the last of our Motat trip. We had lots of different types of PJ's and noone in the class had the same PJ's.

Olive felt weird in the morning because she was taking one pair of PJ's off at home and putting on a new pair.

Archer and Natalie were excited and interested to see all the other PJ's.

Arniekay felt weird because it is not usual to leave your PJ's on in the morning.

Isabella felt a bit nervous and embarrassed but when she saw others in their PJ's she felt better.

Phoenix felt confused choosing a new pair to wear instead of his school uniform.

Miss Haerewa felt really comfortable and warm when she got to school in her onesie.

We started the day with a story about PJ day to calm us all down because we were so excited and noisy.

Then we did some calming yoga because we didn't want our PJ's to get dirty, wet and sweaty outside. 

Do you like wearing your PJ's in public?

Harry Potter

In Room 1 some of us really love Harry Potter so we decided it would be nice to have some drawing time. We enjoy drawing because we can express ourselves, draw cool things that we like and it makes us feel relaxed.

Have you ever watched Harry Potter?
Does drawing make you relaxed?
Do you like expressing yourself through drawings?

Duffy Assembly

Today Toby Morris came to our school  to hand out our Duffy Books. Toby Morris is an illustrator and an author! He has drawn many things that are sold in shops, like the picture on the Edmond Baking Powder box.

 He has also written a couple of books we can't wait to read and illustrated some of the stories in the School Journals we have read.

Toby showed us some of the things he had drawn and some of the books  he had illustrated. Then he drew a monster made from the things we told! Check it out in the slide!

We love getting our Duffy books and really love reading in Room 1!

Compare and contrast

We are learning to compare stories to see what is the same and what is different.
We enjoy watching and reading different stories and hearing different points of view.

Have you listened to these stories?

 

My Wearable Arts Experience

We have been learning about litter pollution and how it effects the earth and the animals.
We have been working on some wearable arts costumes to show our present earth and future earth.

We enjoyed creating all the costumes.

How do you look after the environment?
