Term 2 Kereru Update
At the beginning of Term 2 we began our Soil Inquiry.
We thought about everything we knew about Soil and asked questions that we wanted to find out.
Mrs Ree has helped us put our wonderings into groups and we chose which group we wanted to work with.

We published our holiday stories so they were:
"Looking at my holiday" and
April holiday "Short" story! Check them Out!
Swimming Lessons At EA Networks
In May we had a week of swimming lessons in Ashburton. When we were back at school we wrote stories using our senses to recount what happened. Mrs Ree took heaps of photos to go with our stories.
Soil Investigations...
We had lots of fun looking very closely at what we could find in the soil samples we brought from home.
Here are some of our finished FINDINGS from our Soil inquiries
Autumn Art with Miss Smith
Some more art with but this time with Mr Campbell ...
We used a line technique to make patterns. They look awesome!
Our Bean Experiment
In May we used cotton balls and water to see how a bean grows. This is what they looked like after about 4 days.
On July 1st this is what some of our beans look like! Some of our beans did not grow because we might have given them too much water (by Xymon) or we might not have had them in the right place (by Conor) or we might not have given them enough water (by Reilly)
Hockey with Tania
We have loved Tania coming to Dorie to teach us some hockey skills. We have learnt to dribble the ball, how to hold our hockey stick and we have learnt some cool hockey games like Octopus and Tunnel ball.
SNAIL MAIL DAY 12th June 2016
On 12th June it was Snail Mail Day . We learnt how to write a personal letter to our friends, grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins. Some of us have received letters back - it was very exciting to get a letter in the mail just for us!
The Gingerbread Man
One of our shared reading books this term has been the classic fairytale of The Gingerbread Man. We completed lots of activities and one of them was to do some baking. Olivia, our lovely Teacher Aide took groups of children to the staffroom to mix and measure and roll and cut out. Then we decorated. It was really fun!
Happenings from Term 1 2016
What an incredibly busy start to the year we've had! We've learnt about the Treaty of Waitangi, gone to Beach Ed, competed in our school triathlon and had lots of visitors to help us learn along the way!
Have a look at some of the photos we have of the fun things we did in Term 1.
