My Little Flower Song by Angela :)
The Science in class this term is all about Plants and New Life and discovering all about growing!
Here is my lovely Flower Song:
A little seed for me to sow
A little earth, to help it grow
A little sun, a little shower
A little while, and then a flower :)

Kandinsky Te Kākano and his Concentric Circles!
Kia ora and welcome to our 'Famous Artist' post.
Firstly we investigated the Artist. Mr Wassily Kandinsky. We found out that he was born in Russia but studied art in Munich, Germany and died in France.
He decided to try something different with his work, we think he was happy someone else was painting lots of vases of flowers, portraits and racehorses!
The piece of art that really caught our imagination is called 'Squares with Concentric Circles' done in 1913.
We wanted to paint like real artists so we had to wear art aprons, name our art, work at different stations in the art area, we used our four house colour paints for inspiration, put our art to dry in a safe place, wash our hands and help to tidy the art area once we had finished!
Mrs. T will display our awesome Kandinsky style art once it is all dry - we can not wait to see the exhibit!

I loved Paige's comment that the drying table 'Looks like a giant Kandinsky Lollipop'.

Run, Run, as Fast as I Can...
Who doesn't love Gingerbread Men!
We have been using our Gingerbread Men in all sorts of enthusiastic and cool ways to help us measure and estimate and most definitely have fun - and not just in our Maths experiences!
Especially when it comes to baking our own friendship Gingerbread Men on NZ Anti Bullying Day.
We presented our biscuits to a friend, all wrapped up and ready to munch!
Yum, Yum in my tum...

We're Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo!
Everyday we practise our sounds to help us learn the alphabet sounds and names, alphabetical order and of course to work out how to read our words and to use them all around the place!
Today our letter was 'Z'. This initiated lots of discussion around how we use 'Z' in our world. We joined in with some 'Z' songs on the SmartBoard and Mrs. White told us all about her visit to Auckland Zoo with her Dad when she was 10. She got to meet the elephants who showered her with sand - it was so exciting!
We had the Zoo song, a Zoo story and we wrote a Zoo list - we love 'Z'!
