There was lots happening in Active this week. Kahu had an outdoor cafe serving fairy bread, pikelets and hot chocolate. There was a fitness circuit for the energetic, robotics for the problem solvers and lots of painting and drawing for the artistic. We made play dough, wallets and worry dolls and created some very complicated domino runs. As usual, it was a fun day Friday!  

This term we have been creating statistical investigations. We have been learning to pose a question, create a plan, collect data and then analyse this to form a conclusion. Here we are representing our data using a pie chart: We have also been celebrating Chinese New Year this week: We have been continuing to build relationships learn about others and share what makes us special!

A huge welcome to term 1 2021. We have begun the term with a fabulous trip to the Art Gallery and Museum. At the gallery we looked at some amazing sculptures by local sculptor Graham Bennett. We then created our own sculptures from cardboard. We had lunch in the Botanical Gardens and played in the trees. At the museum we completed a challenging scavenger hunt in the Discovery Room. A big thank you to all the parents and grandparents who helped make our trip a very special one. You are super stars! Have a look at a few of these photos.
