Week 3 Busy Room 2!

Our poem of the week was about the redwood tree, so we took our Homebooks outside and drew pictures of it on the picnic blankets. It was such a beautiful calm time that we spent with each other.

As a part of Tūrangawaewae unit, we have been talking about our pepeha and developing our knowledge about where each other comes from and which maunga and awa we belong to. Today, after a discussion about each other's maunga, we drew pictures of our maunga using soft pastels and collages. The children really enjoyed using the pastels and its texture. This is going to be a part of our visual pepeha.

Of course, lots of beautiful and creative play has been happening in Room 2. I love how the children use loose parts to create their own stories. The children love exploring in Pūtikitiki. They love to move their bodies and be active! I love the way they collaborate in their play.
