Easter Fun Day

Thursday was a fun filled day, we were busy making our brilliant hats for the Easter parade and many other creations. On our last post we shared some amazing pictures of us creating our hats. In the afternoon we got to share our hats to the whole school in the parade, we even got to see Te Kakano, Kauri and Rimu share their wonderful hats too. 

We watched in anticipation as the eggs were thrown off the roof by Mr Mathews to see whose egg was the strongest! There were some brilliant and well thought out creations to withstand the force. Next, we had Egg Jarping, this was a success! Our Te Pihinga students were professionals at Egg Jarping. 

We hope all of our families had a safe and enjoyable break. 

Below are some images of our Easter Fun Day. 

 

 

 

                       

 

                  

Creating our Solar System

We have been learning about the Solar System over the past few weeks. We have started working on a visual art creation of the Solar System. We are working in groups of three - four on each individual planet within the Solar System. We are creating the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and our dwarf planet Pluto. 

On Friday, we began using newspaper and paste by covering a balloon/planet in our groups, we created one layer. Once we had finished our first layer, we went off and lent a helping hand to other groups in Te Pihinga. We had a super morning exploring and working co-operatively. 

Below are a few images of our Fun Day Friday morning Solar System Space art. Watch this space for our next update on the Te Pihinga Solar System.
