Welcome back to Term 3. We have had a fantastic week, settling back to our class routines, enjoying each other’s company and our children have been so settled!
This week, we have been exploring the use of a microscope. Our children were so excited about using a microscope. They chose an item to look closely at. They chose different items.
It was bit hard to use one eye to look through the lens, but we practiced using the microscope.
To celebrate Matariki, our children chose their favourite whetu of Matariki. They have developed great knowledge of Matariki for the last few weeks.
This week, we started talking about what Matariki is. Matariki is a cluster of stars and each star signifies something that is important to us and our environment.
We have been learning about the Matariki stars and its unique characteristics.
We have learnt about the Māori view of how the world started and how the Matariki stars came about.
We have been learning various Matariki waiata too.
Here children are making their Matariki stars with their chosen coloured yarn wound on a piece of cardboard.
