More Patterns...

We have been making patterns with special stamps and also on gingerbread men this week.  Spot our great concentration as we find the right colours to put on our gingerbread men!  

Ka pai Te Waka o Matariki group!  What great learning you are doing.

Discovery time

This morning we were treated to Mohamed's mum, Habiba, sharing her skills in henna painting. Some of us were lucky enough to get a design on our hands. Miss Browne then dried them with the hair dryer. It took a long time and it got a bit hot too sometimes! We love our designs and look forward to Haniba coming back again another day.

Thanks for sharing your skills with us Habiba!

Patterns, patterns, patterns

We have a great bunch of new children who are part of our Te Waka o Matariki group.  These children are new to school and are learning about the different things that we do at school and we work on some goals to make sure we are ready for learning.
This week, the Te Waka o Matariki group are focusing on making patterns.  Some of us find this tricky but we have had a practice and tried again today and we had some great results.  We are all very proud of the patterns we made.
Tomorrow some of us are going to have a challenge to see if we can make an even more tricky pattern.
