Lemonade!

This morning we had lots of fun making lemonade! We dissolved some sugar in hot water, squeezed the juice from the lemons and mixed it together to make a delicious drink. It tasted sweet and delicious!

Welcome back to Term Three

A big welcome back to Term Three! We hope that you all had a fantastic holiday break. A special welcome to all of the new children and families to Pohutukawa. We have been having a great first week back at school. We have had some changes to our Reading, Writing, Maths and Phonics groups  - ask your child who their teacher for each of these areas is and see if they can tell you! In the afternoons we have been learning about rubbish and recycling (what we can reduce, reuse and recycle), doing some dancing and children's yoga and today we visited the library. The children have loved our action station activities this week, where they have been busy learning through play.

Matariki

Before Mr M and Miss Smith left our learning space, they taught us all about Matariki. We learnt about how there are seven stars and how they brought back the sun. We also learnt about how sometimes people fly kites to celebrate Matariki. Look at the amazing kites we have made! We had so much fun flying them last week.

Statistics-Graphing

This weeks for maths we are learning about statistics-graphing. Today we made favourite fruit pictographs. Here is Riley's fantastic graph.

Cultural Celebration Day

What a fun day we had on Friday! We had an amazing cultural assembly where flags representing the different nationalities at Sockburn School were presented and we sung some of our favourite songs. This was followed by a shared lunch in house groups with some delicious food to try from different cultures. In the afternoon we had a discovery time with different cultural activities. One of our favourite activities was Polly's Mum helping us learn how to write our names in Japanese. This is how to write Finehika's name in Japanese!
