Over the past few weeks, Aotahi kids have been learning about grouping and patterns! We have grouped many different objects into categories like colours, shapes, and items. This week, we moved onto creating a pattern, making a chain with paper and sequencing shapes on paper (which can be seen on the wall in our classroom).
Week 3. – Aotahi Choice & Challenge!
While the seniors were away, we continued our ‘Fun Friday’ with an in-studio Choice and Challenge. The studio favourite was our get creative/messy area where we left the floor covered in glitter and everyone with a smile, showing how creative we could be with glitter, glue and a lot of colour!
Week 2 – Getting to know our school
We have had a lovely week getting to know each other and our surroundings at school. Together, we have gone on adventures around the school to see where we can play and what we can do there. Here are some photos of some adventures we went on in week 2!
Fire Song!
This term we have been taking ACTION! by learning about the people who help us in an emergency. This week our focus was on the people who help us when there is a fire and what we should do. We were lucky enough to get a special visit from a local fire-person and even got to get up nice and close to a FIRE TRUCK! Here is a song we performed at the assembly about how to ‘Get Out, Stay Out!’ if there is a fire.
Popcorn! Presented to you, by Aotahi
Just in case you missed assembly this morning. Here is our performance of Popcorn!
Library – Week 10
Every Friday we go to our library to look at and borrow new books for the weekend! We love library time and even get to enjoy a story before we head back to Aotahi for Poetry. Here are some photos of our time in the library today.
Life Education – Week 9
You may have noticed the Life Education van here at school. We were lucky enough to meet Harold and his friend Jo this week and learn about what our bodies need to stay happy and healthy. Here are some photos from our visits.
Choice and CHallenge – Week 7
Friday is always a favourite here in Aotahi and that’s because of Choice and Challenge! It is a time for our seniors to show their leadership skills and create some awesome activities for the juniors to take part in. Here are some photos from the last two sessions we have had.
Parklands Sport – Week 5
What a week 5! On Monday we had Steve from Parklands United come and teach us some soccer skills. Today we had a performance from STRIKE percussion! It was loud and so much fun to watch. Here are some photos from our session with Steve on Monday.
Action!
As part of our theme, Action/Hohenga we created some artwork for things we like to do. Here is a clip to show you our work!
