ISALEI'S CAR GAME IN ACTION

Asha and her friends had a great time testing out Isalei's Dodging Car Game on Friday.

FRIDAY FUN DAY

What a day Friday was!!!

We had our Games Day with Piako Tahi, auditions for Riverdale's Got Talent AND we had fish and chips for lunch!

Here are a few photos of us on what we think, was the BEST day of the year so far...

    

 

  

WE GOT A LETTER!

This afternoon we received a letter from the teachers in Piako Tahi.  They miss us so much that they have invited to come and play with their kids at the end of the term.  They want us to bring some games to share with their kids.  The trouble is that some of the Piako Tahi kids, haven't been at school very long so we need games that they can play.  The teachers included the criteria that the games we bring, have to have.

Here's a copy of the letter they sent us...




We decided that we would love to go to Piako Tahi.  We are just a bit worried that we haven't got very many games to take with us. We might need to make a few to take.  That got us WONDERING...

We needed to brainstorm all our ideas.  We went in our whanau groups and filled out a brainstorm sheet with our teacher.  Then we got back together to discuss our thoughts.

Tomorrow we are going to play some of the games we have in our classroom to assess if they meet the criteria the Piako Tahi teachers set.  If they don't, it looks like we'll have to make some that do!

Watch this space!!!

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.

INQUIRY - ART EXHIBITION

On Tuesday we got a letter from Mrs Peck.  She has noticed all our beautiful art hanging in our classroom.  She would like us to put on an Art Exhibition later this term.  She made us a deal that she would write the invitations if we make the art. 

We said we would LOVE to!  We were HOOKED!

First we needed to take some time to WONDER about all the things that we need to do to be able to put on the exhibition.

We went into our Whanau groups and recorded all our thoughts and ideas.  Then we came back together to share our thinking.

Over the next few weeks, we will be learning different art techniques and making some amazing pieces of art.
