Our LEARNZ field trip

This term we are taking a virtual field trip to Rakiura otherwise known as Stewart Island.  We will be learning about The Great Walk on Stewart Island and how they are working to save the Kiwi.

Here is the link to the LEARNZ field trip

Before we start our learning we had a discussion about what we already know about Stewart Island and our National Parks, and what we want to find out.

Day 3 NZ Maths Week

Today we looked at attributes of shapes.  

We learnt about faces, vertices (corners) and edges of 3D shapes.  We know how to describe a 3D shape using geometry terms.

We also practised counting in te reo Māori.  

Here is a cool game we played and a fun 3D shapes video we watched.  

Enjoy!

Madame Butterfly Visit

Today we were lucky to have Madame Butterfly visit us at school.  She spoke to the Year 3 and 4 students all about butterflies.  We learnt so much, it was really interesting!  Mrs Dane even dressed up as a butterfly and we learnt all the different parts of a butterfly.  Have a look at our padlet about what we learnt!
