Arts Rotation - Weaving

This term as part of our inquiry into how we can express ourselves the year 2 classes are having a rotation of the arts. Our first activity was visiting Room 10 and learning about weaving. In week 1 the children learned how to make fish and windmills. The second week was when they wove puti puti (flowers). It is tradition to give away the first puti puti you make. Although ours are currently on display in the classroom. Have a look at photos of some of the children making their puti puti.

Harold's Healthy Lesson

Wow! What fun we had visiting Harold the Giraffe. We learnt lots of things about healthy eating.

Do you know about the food pyramid?
Red means eat a little. Foods in the red zone are sweets and treats.
Orange means eat some. Foods in the orange zone are dairy products (good for teeth and bones) meat and beans.
Green means eat lots. Foods in the green zone are fruits, vegetables, breads, pasta and grains.

We learnt this saying:

Food + Water + Oxygen = Energy
