This week we wrote about our  Dog Safety Visit with Dex the dog. We were focusing on  capital letters, and interesting beginnings.

Here are Meg and Jago sharing their  writing with Ruru. Their writing was so awesome, it simply had to be shared!

Writing Time

Today in writing we worked on Awesome Adjectives. We know that adjectives are describing words and they make our writing more interesting. We had lots of different pictures and we had to brainstorm adjectives for them. 

What fantastic vocabularies we have in Kereru!

Tennis

This week and last week, Kereru has been learning tennis skills with Tom. We have really enjoyed it and have learnt heaps of new skills!

EOTC Week

We had so much fun for EOTC week. EOTC stands for Education Outside The Classroom and we went all over the place!

Here are some of the highlights:

On Monday we played in McKenzie Baths and went to Petone Rec to have a picnic!

I liked how we had the picnic because it was fun  - TK



On Tuesday we travelled to the zoo in the bus.

Seeing the baboons was my favourite, because it was funny when they jumped at the window
- Liam C

On Wednesday we walked to the beach and we went to Petone Settlers  musuem.

I liked it because Leilani's mum  Korina came - Amelie
I liked the Petone Settlers than that because we learnt about making rainbow necklaces and also we made sculptures out of sand and water - Matthew


On Thursday we had a  wheelie morning and we made kites in the afternoon

I really liked making the kites because we got to fly them at Petone Rec - Sammy

On Friday we had discovery time for the whole morning.
We played with the balls mostly - Alize
We made big ginormous boxes - Jack
I liked it that we had discovery time longer than we usually do and  there was really fun stuff to do. - Sean

Thanks to all the mums and dads who helped us this week, you are awesome!

Discovery Time

One of our favourite parts of the week is Discovery on Friday. This is a chance for us to be creative, inventive and work together with others. It is amazing what the students can come up with! Here are some photos of our creative Kererus.

Class Treaty

Check out our class treaty. It is based on our RISE values and has all the rules we agreed upon. We think our treaty is awesome!

Pattern Walk!

In Kereru we have been learning all about patterns, and how they tessellate (repeat). We were on the hunt for patterns at our school and we found heaps! Take a look at some of the different ones we found.
