Making Felt Balls

Today we got to spend the afternoon with Miss Hawtin making felt balls! We started out by choosing which colours we wanted, then with a bit of elbow grease we worked soapy water into sheep wool - over and over and over! Then we rubbed and rolled and shaped the wool into neat little felt balls.

Here's our finished product. Thanks Miss Hawtin!!

How we're feeling in Te Reo

This week we have been learning about how to ask how someone is feeling and respond appropriately.

Reciprocal Reading

One of our group tasks for reading is called reciprocal reading. 





















Each member of the group takes a turn at leading the discussion by predicting, clarifying, asking questions and summarising. 

We are getting more confident discussing what we read and sharing our opinions and ideas.

Holleigh B's pieces of ancient NZ history

Our Inquiry focus this term is Turangawaewae - meaning 'a place to stand'. We are learning about NZ's heritage and history. Holleigh B was kind enough to bring in a collection of precious Moa bones found by her Poppa and Great Poppa many years ago. It's really interesting to have a close encounter with the remains of the extinct native bird. They were MASSIVE!!
