Self Portraits

I am learning to create a self portrait

I am learning to show the 3Rs when participating in a celebration

This year is EPS’s Jubilee so we had a big 50^th birthday party at school.

For our inquiry on Celebrations we had to participate in the 50^th birthday party celebration and describe the event.

I am learning to show respect at a celebration by:

Using my manners

Listening to the person who is speaking

Having a caring attitude to others

I am learning to show resilience at a celebration by:

Playing new games and activities for the first time

Making good choices

Asking for help if needed

I am learning to be responsible at a celebration by:

Being prepared - wearing my party outfit and party hat

Following instructions and rules at the celebration

Helping clean up after the celebration

Here I am in my party clothes and my party hat that I made for myself.

I had lots of fun participating in all the different party games!

I am learning to be safe and confident in the water

This term we have been going to the school pool to learn some water skills. We have been learning to be confident and safe in the water.

I am learning to float on my front and back as a starfish.

I am learning to float on my front and kick across the pool with a board. 

I am learning to float on my front and kick across the pool without a board.

Welcome to Room 4's Solar System

In Room 4, we have been learning about the Space. We have been learning about the planets in our Solar System. We talked about the different things that are on the planets. We made a brainstorm about what our planets could look like.

This is my planet.

Clown Pastel Art

I am learning to create a clown face using pastels, and add another feature using a different medium.

I wrote my own sentence about who my clown is.

Look at me

I am learning to draw a self portrait and add detail to it.

"I can add detail to my face by using the right colours and colouring inside the lines." Arina

Look at me swim!

I am learning to…

• get dressed and undressed by myself
• enter and exit the pool safely
• put my face in the water and blow bubbles
• put my whole body under the water
• pick up objects from the bottom of the pool
• float on my front/back and stand up
• have fun in the pool!

"I love going swimming. I am really good at swimming." Arina

Book Character Parade Day

On Friday 27th November we celebrated Book Character Day.

We got to dress up in our favourite book character costume and we paraded around in-front of the whole school.

We had such a fun day!

S for Slime

We have been exploring words that start with 's'.

The slime was gooey, slippery, slimey, soft,  smooth and sticky and smells soapy.

Here I am playing with "s for slime."

It was fun.

J for Jelly

Last week we were learning about the letter "Jj".  

We brainstormed all the words we knew that started j.   

When someone said "j for jelly" we asked Mrs Koroa if we could make some and she said "Yes."  

We made jelly in our favourite colours.

Purerehua Art

Here is our 'Purerehua - Butterfly Art'.

We were learning how to use the mouse pad on the computer.  

We used KixPix to create the background patterns.

We then used vivid and dye to create our butterfly patterns.

Mrs Koroa helped us fold the wings and attach the antennae.
