Making patterns

Chocolates Reading - Rangoli

This week Chocolates Reading group read about Diwali which is the Hindu Festival of the Lights celebrated on October 30th.  Rangoli is an art form from India that is done during Diwali. Patterns are created on the floor of living rooms and courtyards using materials such as coloured rice, coloured sand and chalk. We had fun making our own Rangoli designs with chalk outside TKM! 

We are having breakfast

TKP will be happy we have cleaned up the rice. Thanks Mr Roper

Chocolates Reading - Cleaning up an oil spill

Today Chocolates Reading group read the journal article What a Disaster! about the Rena oil spill in 2011. We then created our own oil spill and used different methods (sponge, cornflour and cotton wool) to see which way would clean up an oil spill the best.


 

Campbell Stewart

Last Friday, TKM was lucky enough to have a visit from Junior World Champion track cyclist, Campbell Stewart. Campbell was a past student of Hokowhitu School. He talked to us about what it takes to be an elite athlete and inspired us to strive to be the best we can be.

Measurement Golf

Today in maths we had fun playing measurement golf. We practiced our estimating and measuring skills using a ruler through nine holes of golf. 

Who am I?

This week for news in our kete we had to write statements about an animal and everyone had to guess which animal we were describing.

Here is Chloe's description:

I am scary and I have four legs and a blue tongue. I like to eat fruit, vegetables, meat and snails. I hide under bark.

Chloe described her creature which turned out to be a real life lizard!!! Most of us had never seen a lizard before. It was very exciting.

Place value

Today we counted money in ones and tens. We all took turns to add our money and continue counting. It was tricky but "real life"

Making a Bird Feeder

Today Chocolates Reading group had lots of fun following instructions to make a bird feeder.

Matariki

This afternoon we celebrated Matariki- we chose an activity to do for the afternoon. Some of us chose weaving, kites, rakau  sticks, string games or gardening. We had so much fun!
