Kereru have been busy making food for the birds. Find out how we did this by clicking on the movie below.
Kereru uses magnifying glasses!
Our last unit for Topic this year is Adaptation - Birds. We have been learning lots of things about birds and looking really carefully at how they adapt to survive.Kereru have spent the last week looking at bird feathers, chicken bones, and a birds nest. We have used different types of magnifying glasses. Alex brought his microscope into class and we looked through that as well.
Kereru Makes String Pictures!
In Kereru we have been looking at
patterns in maths. We have used numbers to design our own patterns using
coloured pencils and rulers, and using needles and wool. We then made
our string pictures. First we had to paint our boards black. Then we had
to hammer in all our nails in the correct pattern. Finally we had to
follow the number patterns to thread the coloured cottons onto the
correct nails to make our boat pattern. We had to persevere and try very
hard - especially when our cotton came off the nails and we had to
start all over again! - but we are all very proud of our
artwork.
Kereru's Tennis Talent!
On Tuesday morning Kereru finally got to take part in some tennis coaching after having missed out twice due to bad weather.
