Week 1 has flown by

Lost: A student lost his grey school shorts today. Can parents of boys in R4 please check school bags to check they aren't at your house. Thanks. 

We have crammed in a lot this week, our class has been super busy and everyone has been doing some fantastic learning.

We have made some manu tukutkuku (Maori kites) to help us learn about the Maori legend of Hatupatu and the Birdwoman. 

 

We chopped up our giant pumpkin and we are giving it away. We have kept some seeds to plant next year as well.

 

Leonardo shared a wonderful piece of art that he has been working on at home.  

We continued our waffle making with Grandma Gail, maybe some Mums will get waffles on Sunday?

Alex shared some videos of him flying with his Grandad, which the class were very interested in. 

Problem solving by debugging

 Today we linked some problem solving with programming the mbots. We were set a challenge to programme the LED lights and sounds to play in unison, like a police siren and lights. 

We focused on being able to debug our programmes by communicating and persevering.
