Buddy Weaving for Matariki and Puppets...

Making Puppets...

We like drawing the puppets and colouring them in.  We like playing with our puppets.




 Buddy Weaving for Matariki
We enjoyed learning about Matariki.
The kowhai team sung a song in assembly called Tirama tirama nga whetu (Twinkle twinkle little star)
Under and over...

"I'll do it"!




Our buddies were very helpful when we got confused or stuck!  Thanks Room 10

Yummy lunchboxes and the cello

We have been learning about the best things to put in our lunchboxes.

We LOVE banannas!



We brought our lunchboxes into our class to see what we had in them.  It was fun to talk about all our food...YUMMY!

We also LOVE apples, do you?
 We were very fortunate to have a teacher at our school come and play the cello to us.

We learnt that the cello is played with a 'bow' made of horsehair.

The cello sounded soft and beautiful.  It made us feel happy inside.  The music was soft and floaty not like the drums!

We then drew the cello, come and see our pictures on the wall.  

The cello has lots of curves to draw.  It's quite a tricky instrument to draw.

Nutrition Lessons with Project Energize

Project Energize have been coming to Hamilton East School to teach us about what food and drink we put into our bodies and if what we are eating is the right thing....

It's been very interesting...




We have been learning about what to eat for breakfast.  It is very interesting learning which cereals are the best for us without too much sugar.

These are the foods we can have everyday, these foods give us a good start to help us learn.


These foods are every so often choices, they contain some sugar, but not as much as the cereals below...
These foods are treats as they contain a lot of sugar... 




Have a look and see what you eat and drink at home...are they the best choices?  Next week we are looking at what goes into our lunchboxes...

Financial Literacy



We recently had a super hero from ASB bank come to school to tell us all about being wise with our money.

She explained to us the difference between a 'need' and a 'want'!

Ask your children about it...
