Sustainbility- How to upcycle glass jars

Rooms 1 and 2 are working together to upcycle glass jars into things that we can reuse again and again instead of just using them ones and throwing them away. We have come up with many creative ideas on how to upcycle them and last week we got together to start working on these. We applied PVA glue to the inside walls of the jars and then sprinkled different coloured glitter on. We are going to sell our finished products on our Community Gala Day next term. This week we are going to draw on the outside with permanent markers to create some patterns.

Super Squirrels Reading Activity

The Super Squirrels read the book Shadow Puppets. As a follow up activity they had to make their own puppets and put up a puppet show for the class. Well done Super Squirrels. The class really enjoyed your show

The Eager Elephants read the book This leaf and they had to collect all different kinds of leaves and write what they taught those leaves could be. They stuck them on cards and shared their work with the class. Some made them into boats, aeroplanes, house, birds etc. Super work Eager Elephants.

Tae Kwon Do on Tuesdays

This term our KiwiSport focus is Tae Kwon Do. we have learning about discipline. Lianna McCartney is our instructor and she has been teaching us all the different punching and kicking techniques in tae kwon do. We must always show respect and must only do the tae kwon do moves in the school hall during our sessions and not outside anywhere else.

Music with Room 1

Every Tuesday Room 1 and Room 2 get together to do Music. We have been listening to different kinds of music- loud, soft, high, low, fast and slow. First clapped our hands to follow some beats and now we have progressed to using musical instruments. Have a look at what we have been doing.
