I Like Toys

Our focus for the last two weeks has been on Toys I Like.  This has been an extremely motivating topic as we have had different toys to investigate and play with.  This has been an enjoyable and fun part of our day.

We were also fortunate enough to have the Life Education Bus come to Marfell Community School during the last couple of weeks.  The educators linked into our Inquiry about Toys and encouraged what we are practising in the classroom with sharing, waiting, and taking turns.  These skills are so important for our tamariki to continue to practise in their everyday life and what better way to learn these skills than through play.

Later in the week we had a lot of fun watching and learning about the game of skittles.  We had several games of skittles and even created our own using recycled plastic bottles.  We stuck on our own numbers so we could recognise which skittle was knocked over.  Great mahi Ruma Wha!

         

Gg is for Giraffe

Our letter of the week for Week 4 was Gg for giraffe.  We linked and revisited our work with Harold the Giraffe by creating a cute craft giraffe with the letter G.

We hope that you can revisit our alphabet google slide on our class site with your tamariki as well as enjoy the photographs captured during our craft activity.
