Super Senses

Today we learned more about each other and ourselves by exploring taste and touch (senses). We had to smell jellybeans and guess the colour with blindfolds on, then guess the colour by tasting with our noses blocked!

In the touch experiment, we had to guess how many points on the callipers were touching our skin with blindfolds on. We learned some areas of our skin are more sensitive than others.

Kawa of Care

We use Chormebooks in our class.

We have agreed on the Kawa of Care which guides us 

on how we should treat our Chromebooks 

and how we can be Cybersmart.

Horouta Waka

We worked with the teachers from the Museum.
We learnt about the Horouta Waka.
The kumara was protected on the waka as they travelled over the seas.
The waka came from Hawaiiki.
The waka landed in Turanganui-a-Kiwa.

Buddy Reading

Each Friday we get together with our Buddy Class and read books. We really enjoy this time reading and talking.

Hot Shot Tennis

Today we were playing Hot Shot Tennis.

Mr Craft comes to Saint Mary's to teach us Hot Shot Tennis. 

The people with the racquets have to hit the ball over the net. 

If someone catches the ball, the hitter is out and goes to the other side of the net.  

The people on the other side of the net try to catch the ball.

You can catch it in the air with 2 hands or one bounce/one hand.

Mrs Tilley is throwing the ball for people to hit.
