The Big Write in TK!

We totally love to write in our class!

This week we have been using long rolls of paper to collect all of our ideas together!

It is so cool to talk to each other when we are sharing our brilliant ideas!

ANZAC Truck Visit to YMS!

What a treat we all had when we had a surprise visit from the Kenworth 'ANZAC' truck.

One of our pupils' dad is lucky enough to drive this unit from time to time and he found the time to pop it into school for us to appreciate!

We had a look inside the cab and Mrs T got to sound the horn too!

The illustrations showing the soldiers and poppies were beautiful to look at - a very special visit indeed :)

We shall not forget them...

Monarch Butterflies in Te Kakano

Who doesn’t love Monarch Butterflies!

We have been investigating the lifecycle of these amazing insects and we even got to watch a time lapse video showing the caterpillar turning into a cocoon and then the butterfly emerging from the cocoon - we were amazed!

How did it change? Where did it go? How did it fit in there?

So many cool Science questions from our youngest Scientists 🦋

First Few Days of Fun in Te Kākano

Te Kākano class have loved the orientation time together discovering more about our wonderful school!

We are ready for the hot weather and we know that we have got to wear sun hats, slop on sunscreen and drink lots of water to keep us hydrated!

This year our friend Kelly from Tupperware has gifted all New Entrants their own awesome drink bottle to keep at school!  Thanks heaps Kelly!



We're looking forward to all the fun and learning ahead this year!

Play and Experienced Based Learning in Te Kakano New Entrants Class

In our class we are great self-managers and choose how we want to learn.

We have lots of beautiful and interesting loose parts to select and create from and we also have access to more traditional classroom resources too.

We are given the option to choose what we feel like experiencing and accessing which runs alongside our small guided group work with Mrs. T.

Our best learning happens when we consider, select and engage with our choices and receive thoughtful support and feedback from our grown ups - thanks everyone!
