Shared Experiences

Using Shared Experiences

Room's 1, 2 and 3 have enjoyed a number of fun shared experiences lately. These lead to many great learning opportunities such as providing:

• A common talking point for all children- they can all contribute to discussions 
• A way to build and extend vocabulary
•  Opportunities for practicing collaborative work and following instructions
•  Listening and reporting back practice
• Art and craft experiences
• Writing experiences
• An opportunity for children to pose questions
• Extension of the children's knowledge of the world around them 
• Practice of our school values

Hope you enjoy these pictures that show some of the experiences we have enjoyed.

Our Cross Country Event!

In The Pink

Wear Pink Day

What a great response we had from our our tamariki and whanau this Friday to show support for anti bullying .

 Most of the children from across our learning spaces came dressed in all sorts of wonderful pink attire and enjoyed a fun day of comradeship and laughter as a result.

 Room 1 writers even wrote their stories in pink which proved a bit of a challenge to read but it was fun!

Here are a few of the gorgeous kids that made the day so successful!

A few of us share the same birthday so we took a special photo on May 18th.

  

Kapa Haka

Every Tuesday Room 1, 2 and 3 venture over the the hall to Kapa Haka, Matua Rihari and Mrs Lindley help us lots of Waiata and actions too! We also learn about our Maori culture!

Take a look at us in action!

Cross Country

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

On Thursday 17th May Parkview will be having a cross country event over at Adcock Reserve
(located behind the school). The Junior classes are scheduled to run at approximately 2:00pm
however if you would like to watch we suggest arriving a little earlier to ensure that you do not miss
their race. We respectfully ask that your child stays with their home room teacher for the entirety of
the event to ensure their safety. You are more than welcome to take your child once we have arrived
back to the classrooms.

If you have any questions or queries please see your child's home room teacher.

Thanks,

Team 1

"Ribbit Ribbit" Our Frog Art.

Last week our poem was all about frogs! 

We decided to do some frog art to go alongside our poem! We watched a cool video where somebody taught us how to draw a frog step by step! After we had drawn our frogs we dyed them using dye and a paintbrush. 

Dinosaur Art

Every week Room 1, 2 and 3 have a special poem that we learn, we try and do some weekly activities to go with our poem, recently we have had some really cool animal poems. 

One of our poems was about dinosaurs! Check it out below:

After we had learnt our poem really well we decided to make some cool dinosaur art. We got into groups of 2 or 3 and made our own dinosaur. Our dinosaurs are special dinosaurs that no one has ever seen! After everyone in our group had added detail onto our dinosaurs we painted the dinosaurs with sponges to make it look like our dinosaurs had really rough skin. Have a look at our cool art:
