Think It Friday - Bears

Last Friday, we heard a story about bears (We're Going on a Bear Hunt) and talked about other stories we know that have bears. We talked about real bears and bears in stories - where they live, what they eat, and what else they do. After some discussion about our options, we were let loose to design or make something about bears to share with the class. This could be a song or poem, a design or model, a story or book review, a play or puppet show - it was really up to us! Wow, there are some creative thinkers in Piako Rua! We came up with lots of different ideas. We had lots of fun designing, researching, making, writing, reading, building and presenting!

ART EXPO

This evening Riverdale School held their Art Expo.  So many parents came to see it.  Don't panic if you missed out tonight, we have left all our art in our classroom so you can pop in tomorrow morning and see all our creativity.  

The Art Expo was the Act part of our Inquiry.  We hope you enjoyed see all the lovely art pieces around the school.
