Sorting, selecting and classifying according to attributes

We have been working on how we can group things. What should we look at? What attributes the objects have? Here are some activities that we have been doing in class to sort.

I put the same coloured cubes together

I sorted them according to the colours and sizes.

We grouped them according to their colours.

How to keep our teeth healthy

The District Nurse Abigail Moimoi gave us a talk on how important our teeth are. She shared that we must brush our teeth every morning and every night. We watched a video about how we should brush our teeth. Then Abby gave us each a toothbrush.

Gymnastics with Cain

Every Tuesday morning we go to the hall to do gymnastics. We are learning to do all sorts of things like front flips, back flips, caterpillar walk, balancing and more. Each week we will have a different focus.

Dick Weir The Great Storyteller

We were very fortunate to have Cecile's granddad Dick Weir come to share some stories with us. He made it such an awesome experience. Some of us got the chance to be the characters in the story Rata and the Totara Tree.

Strike Percussion Show

Waikowhai Primary School was  extremely fortunate to have award winning “Strike Percussion” come to perform for the whole school. It was a high energy show which drew on styles from around the world to introduce a broad range of modern percussion. Some of the students were chosen to play some of the instruments. We really enjoyed their music and we hope that they will come back again to perform for us.

Floating and Sinking Exploration

We went to the Maritime Museum to find out more about Floating and Sinking. We were lucky to go for a sail on the Ted Ashby. The sailors on the boat asked us to help them pull the ropes to make the sails go up. When we came back, Emma the teacher at the museum explained to us about why some things float and some sink.
