Our decorated Indian elephants

On Thursday we had a blast at the Art Gallery creating these masterpieces. The cool thing about them is that they are all very unique! Enjoy :)

Our Toitu trip

On Friday we were super lucky and went to Toitu to learn about World War One. We worked with Helen, Sara, and Evelyn. We learnt about the allies and where they were located. We learnt about soldiers from around Port Chalmers and St Leonards. We also learnt some skills that the soldiers would need including morse code, semaphore, knot tying, bandage wrapping and compass work. Here are some pics. 

We also did some drama. Here are some pictures.

We love playing drama games

In this drama game called birthday we have a party host and party guests. The guests are given a role to act in and the host has to guess what they are. Today for example Grace was a clock, Ella was a hip hop dancer, Josh was a ballerina and Maya was a servant. The guests need to interact with the host, the audience and the other guests to give the host clues. It's lots of fun and helps us with our oral language skills and remembering to stay in character.

Happy PJ day! Thanks to the wonderful teachers and learners in our math session today. We had 6 sessions to choose from and could book into two. The options were: learning strategies to remember your timestables, compensation with multiplication, place value with multiplication, basic multiplication algorithms, hard multiplication algorithms and dividing large numbers. Have a chat to your children about what sessions they booked into.

The wonderful photos were taken by the wonderful Josh who was the photographer of the day today :)
