Production 2016

Hello to you all,

We are starting to unpack what Whetu Piata are going to do in the whole school production.

Our scene will be focusing on being business people who are far too busy to worry about our environment.

Our props will be made by us.  The kids are working on how we should develop our props.  Take a look at our slides to see our vision.

Coffee Cup

Briefcase

Ipod

Ipad

Cellphone

The children will be dressed as business people with Dr Suessisms (is this even a word?  Is now!!!)

Here is our brainstorm in rough print... (there will be a list of things that each child will need coming out at a later date)

Cross Country Tomorrow!!

Hi All,

We have the cross country tomorrow which is very exciting day for our school and Whetu Piata. We have been training every morning at 9.15am for this day to come.

Just a few things to remember to bring to school.

• Suitable clothing for running
• Suitable footwear for running on grass, metal road and bush tracks.
• Warm clothing for putting on at the end of the race.
• Packed morning tea, lunch and drink bottle.
• Inhalers and any medical needs (if they aren't at school already please can you bring them to school and give them to your Miss Denniston OR Tash Whitta)
• Portable Toilet will be on site (make sure you go before the roll in the morning).

Looking forward to the day and see our super stars run!!.

Genius Hour

Just a quick reminder to all students to bring in their things for their own project in inquiry. We will be starting these tomorrow.

See you tomorrow, enjoy your Sunday!

Basketball with Miles

We are extremely lucky this term as we have an expert Basketball player teaching us about the fundamental skills of balling...

Beef helps us play - there is a lot of iron in it lol

Bend knees, feet apart (Basketball stance)
Eyes on the target - not on the ball
Elbows in to support your shooting
Flick your wrists

Library Visit

Today we went to the Library, it was great day to go out of school for a walk. The children all were amazing, and they were loving their reading books.

Zero Waste (projects)

Hi All,

Today we made our sea creatures out of recycled products. It was lots of fun and the kids loved making their animal.

Here is a few pictures of some of the kids from Whetu Piata getting creative!

What can we reuse?

Today we looked at what we can reuse from our 'rubbish'

Can we use things more than once?

Should we use glad wrap?

Should we use disposable nappies?

How can you reuse items in your household?

Zero Waste

Hi Parents,

Yesterday we had Shirley come into LC 12/13 to talk about recycling. We talked about what types of things we need to recycle and what are natural resources. It was very interesting!!

We are doing a recycling project too. We need every child to bring in a egg cartoon and a small cardboard box into class by next Monday 9th of May. Your child/children have brought a sheet home, so take a look.

Thank you for all your help!!

These are a few notes from our super brainstorm!

Zero Waste Session

Tally Charts

We learn't how to make a Tally Chart. We did two, one on eye colour and the other on pets we have at home.

Have a go at making a Tally Chart at home!!
