Reading

We love reading in Pohutukawa! Every day we enjoy reading library books, poems, big books, our writing, and small books with our reading group.

Making Rainbows

Today we learnt about how rainbows are made. We then did two science experiments-magic milk with food colouring and dishwashing detergent, and making sugar water density rainbow layers. These led to awesome oral language and writing activities.

Afternoon Artwork

This term we are busy creating some amazing artworks. We have been enjoying making clay coil and pinch pots and then painting them.

Wigram Primary School Sod Turning

Wigram School Sod- turning Ceremony

What an exciting day! The whole school walked or bused down to our new school site to turn the first 'sod' which means that building will be starting soon for out new school. We sang 3 songs and listened some speeches. Well done on awesome behaviour and participation from all the Tamariki in Pohutukawa and also thanks to family members who can down to watch and support us.
We can't wait to see the  building begin!

NED Show

Today we had the NED show come to Sockburn School. Ian did some awesome yo-yo tricks for us and taught us to Never give up, Encourage others and Do our best. That way we can be champions in school and in life! 

Snakes writing

Today for Literacy the Snakes read a book about some of the (many!) things that Mums do. We drew pictures and wrote a sentence about what our own Mums do.
