Pet Day

 

                                                     Pet Day turned out to be a beautiful sunny day

                                                      

                                                         Ellie showed off her "geep" (a cross between a goat and a sheep)

                                                        Aisling's showed off her goat. It liked butting the other goats.

                                                        

                                                         Willam's cat enjoyed the fuss that was made over it.

                                                         Amy's goat was very cuddly .

                                                        

                                                          Evelyn's goat was really soft to touch.

                                      

Patterns

                    This term the Pukeko Class will be investigating different patterns in maths. 

                                      We started last week by looking at shapes and colours

                                                  Ellie used 5 different colours in her pattern                                                

                                                    Ivy used the same shapes and 3 different colours.

                                                   Evelyn and Aisling used different shapes and 2 colours

                                                  Lots of collaboration going on to make a pattern.

                                                 Lots of concentration going on to make a pattern.

                                                      

Working collaboratively - we were so proud of our acheivement!

 

We did the puzzle "Cat in the Hat" together. It was quite a trick puzzle, but we worked together and persevered. We are very proud of what we achieved.

We also did a puzzle of a Fire Station and there were some tricky bits to it but we persevered together and succeeded in completing it.
