Play Based Learning

Tyler learns best through creative play.  It's great to see him interacting with others and exploring this way.

Writing - Term 2

Tyler told the class about a dream he had and wrote about it with Amanda's (Teacher aid) support.

Technology

WALT: Follow the technological design process to create a boat.

We used what we had learned in science about floating and sinking to ensure that it didn't sink. We looked carefully at the materials we used, as we wanted the materials to be light and waterproof so that they wouldn’t soak up water.

We also learned through testing, that it was important that our boat was balanced so that it stayed upright and didn’t flip over.

Te Reo Māori

WALT: Understand and say our mihi / pepeha including our name, the names of our parents and our school in Te Reo Māori.
