Koru Patterns

For Maori Language Week, Room 1 learnt about Koru patterns. We learnt that Koru patterns symbolized new life, growth, strength and peace. 

We drew our own Koru patterns and used warm colours and cool colours to colour them in. 

What makes 5?

Welcome back to Term 3!

We hope that everyone had a great holiday!

In Room 1, we have been busy getting back into our learning. There are so many exciting things that are happening this term, so watch this space!

For maths this week, the Green group have been looking at what makes 5? We have been using a lot of materials and drawing a lot of patterns that make 5.

Have a look at the work that we have been doing and see if you know any other ways to make 5

Our Prams

During Term 2, our Topic was about functions and how things work. We focused on prams and looked at  different kinds of prams, parts of a pram and we even had a few parents come in and show us their prams. Towards the end of our topic, we used old cardboard boxes, plastic drink bottles and toilet rolls to make our own prams. We then modified it by using materials to make it look better and be more comfortable for the baby. We talked about why we added our modifications and how it would make our prams better. 

We had a lot of fun designing and making our prams!
