Washing our hands

We have been really good at cleaning our hands each time we come into school, when we are eating and after we have been to the toilet. 

We also have hand sanitiser in the class room to use as well.

 Keep washing your hands!

The children have loved seeing and singing this song. They wanted me to share it on our class blog so you can sing it at home.

Enjoy. Can you tell some one what you have to do ?

Our first day back at school

Hi every one. We had a very happy day back at school. we were so pleased 

to see our friends.

We were very grown up and said bye to our family and came into school by ourselves

  We are taking photos of our friends.

Thank you Ollie for my beautiful flowers.

  Mrs  Loudon bought us some special pens for a present.

We love playing together with our friends.

 We have missed each other.

Relaxing after lunch watching our favourite movie -the Ginger bread man.
  We were  all feeling a bit tired and wanted to have a wee rest!

The children were using their own ipad to take photos 
of their friends.

 What did you do today?

Alphabet fun!

  Here is a New Zealand alphabet story to listen to.

 Enjoy

Look what Harper did with the alphabet today!

 I wonder if she found anything tricky.

 I wonder what she found easy.

What do you like doing best with the alphabet?

Our Atua

 What do you know about our Atua ( maori gods) at Makaraka school?

 This is from Benny

I went to the beach this morning and collected shells and seaweed for art work. I am going to do  about all the atua. I am going to collect leaves from the trees for Tanemahutua and seeds from our apples and beans for Rongonmatane and a volcano with rocks for Ruaumoko. I dont know yet about Tawhirimatea because I don't what I'm going to collect to show this atua.

What do you think I could collect for Tawhirimatea? 

Learning

Where do you like to learn? Do you like learning at home with your family or at school with me and 

your friends.

 Did you know that you can learn anywhere!

 Here is the song about families.

Who has helped you learn while you have been at home with you family?



 Harper's sister Baely has helped Harper 
with her learning.

 Here is Tommy's drawing of who helps 
him learn at home.

Good Morning Mrs Loudon,

Here is the drawing of my Mum.

She is a bear and has wings and she is doing some yoga.

From Tommy.

Who helps you learn?

Self portraits

 Look at Harper's beautiful smile.
