Kahikatea Week 6-7 Term 1 News

Kia ora koutou,

We have centered much of our learning this week around the construction that is happening outside of our hub. It has been very exciting to see the landscape change over the past six weeks.

Maths

Children worked with their learning buddies to discuss the story, choose a strategy, and use materials to solve the problem together.

Writing

We have been writing about the playground construction site. Here are some photo's of our brainstorming...

At school there is a construction site. I can't wait until it is finished because it will be such fun to play in. The workers are doing a good job. I love it!

Plea for materials

One of the most popular choices during Discovery Time is 'making'. For this, we require a range of recyclable materials. At the moment we need...

• milk bottle tops
• cardboard boxes (small, e.g., cereal or muesli bar boxes)
• tubes 
• newspaper (for painting and art)

Board games provide opportunities for tamariki to practice taking turns and working together. If you have any board games or puzzles that you no longer require, we would gratefully receive these, particularly as we are heading into the cooler months.

That's all for now!
Amber, Charlotte, Jules, Lisa and Katie
