Enviro with Mrs Hilder

 Enviro with Mrs Hilder

Mrs Hilder worked with the students in Room 4 on Wednesday  13 November.

They discussed what nature is and the students shared their thoughts about leaves, flowers, soil, trees, fruit, vegetables and invertebrates.  They discussed The Lorax and talked abouthow we can look after nature.

The students then made their own seed bombs and they decided they are good for bees, nature and even giving away as gifts.

They used magnifying glasses and looked at different objects from nature, focusing on different shapes, patterns and colours.  Then the students went on a 'nature scavenger hunt'.

Our Trip to Te Tuhi

 Our Trip to Te Tuhi - Tuesday 29 October

We went to Te Tuhi and had a wonderful time.

The students met Bree who was our art teacher.  We went outside to look at a very special sculpture.  Bree took us into her art studio and we all put our aprons on.  The students made their own sculpture using rods.  The children learned about primary colours, secondary colours and tertiary colours.  Each student designed their own colour wheel.  To get the secondary colours they had to mix two primary colours.  To get the tertiary colours they had to use a primary and secondary colour and mix them together.

It was such fun.  Please talk to your family about our trip.

Here are some photos for you to enjoy:

 

Wacky Hair and Hat Day

 At the end of term 3 we had Wacky Hair and Hat Day.  It was such an exciting day as the students could wear their own hair or hat creation.
