Today we were given some old telephones to play with. We had conversations with each other using the telephones. We asked each other questions and listened to the answers. This activity helps with developing our oral language. 

Making A Go-Cart With Mr Gormly

 

How To Make A Go-Cart

Yesterday we made a go cart. Miss Gormly’s dad came to help us to make the go-cart.

First we took the tools out of the box. We had a wrench, a hammer, strew driver, pliers, wheels and axles.

Then we got a seat. We got the wood. Mr Gormly got the drill and made 6 holes. 

Then we put the screws in. We got another seat. We put the seats together. We got more wood. Then we drilled a hole. We screwed it in. We put the wheels in, washers in, then we put the strings on. 

I felt happy because we made the go-cart.

How To Make A Go-Cart

First we met Mr Gormly with the tool box. We put it on the table and then we pulled out all the tools. Then we were learning from Mr Gormly what tools we can use for the go-cart. 

Next we got matching pieces of wood and got a flat piece then we drilled some holes so we could screw it together.  The flat piece is called the base.

Then we did the same thing to the back.

Then we got the axles and wheels. We put the wheel on, then the axles. Then we put the wheel after the washer. Then after the washer we put on the split pin and twisted it.

We are learning how to make a go-cart. We got a screwdriver, got some screws and we got the base. 

First we took turns and everyone was happy to help Mr Gormly. It was fun.

Then we got the base, then drilled some holes on the base. Then we all screwed the base to make it. It moved and turned. 

First we put the wheels on the axle. Then he did a bit himself. 

It was done.

We tried it out. Everyone was happy.

Looking At Seeds. What do you notice?

Today Miss Gormly gave us lots of different kinds of seeds. We had to talk about where we think they came from and how they were the same and different. 
 

Jacyrus's Story

"I know words because I have book at home."

Planting Seeds

I put the seed in. I poured the water in.

By Anna

I like seeds. I like gloves. I put the seed in the dirt.

Feelings Paintings

Today we created abstract art to show how we are feeling. The colours we choose represented how we were feeling. It felt relaxing pressing the paint down. 

Sorting shells and rocks

Miss Gormly brought some rocks and shells to school. We had fun sorting them into groups.

 

We Are Symmetrical Butterflies... well, nearly all of us!

Learning how to show Whanaungatanga

 Whanaungatanga is one of our school values.

Today we played a game to help us build positive relationships.

We wrote what it means to be a friend on a balloon. 

Then we had to buddy up and carry our balloon without touching it to the tree and back without dropping it.

We had to listen to each other, work together and show kindness.

This is what happened...
