Puriri class has joined the Zespri challenge for 2025. Our box of goodies arrived and we opened them as a class.
We have a pedometer watch for each of us. It tells the time and records our steps for the day.
We started by setting our watches. We then played a game of tag for our 5 minutes of fitness. It was fun watching the step number change.

Wednesday 17th September was our annual Pet Day.
We created 3D robots. We looked at how to create 3D images.
We then created our 3D shapes and made them into Robots. This was in respose to looking and 2D and 3D shapes in Maths.
We created fish out of recycled plastic bottles and tissue paper. This was in response to our study into fish in the Orauiti Awa.
We also created Window flower art and animals from pantry boxes. It was a great day, looking at all of the other classrooms creations and seeing all of the animals.

Puriri tamariki have been learning about Information reports. We did our learning together, in groups and then on our own. We have looked at ‘Where we live’ and ‘short fin eels’. Tamariki then chose which fish from our awa they would like to reseach. Following are some of the completed Information Reports on their chosen fish.

Whaea Dianne helped Kaiamni create a ‘Titanic’ replica out of cardboard. Neita and Jordan then got the other tamariki in the class involved in helping paint it. It is quite a ‘Titanic’ size!
Kaimani is interested in Germany and the German war. Jordan helped him spray paint a plane and make it ‘fly’over a war scene he created with other students in the class. They collected dirt, trees made a lake, added some army people and equipment. It is great to see Kaimani working so well with the other students.
