We began our unit by looking at some pretty magnificent photos of volcanic action and then did some brainstorming. We jotted down all the stuff we already knew and also all the questions/ wonders we have about volcanoes.

Nga Hakinakina -Sports!
Today we finally had fun playing each other's Te Reo games! It was awesome to see what other teams had come up with and what they had created. There was such a range of games -snakes and ladders, The Chase, Cludo, Mazes, and even spinning wheels. We reflected on others' games creating a PMI then feeding back our thoughts about their game, how clear the instructions were and the general make-up of the game.
This was a really good way to learn our vocabulary!

Sunset Silhouette reflection art
Last week we created these piece of art. We looked at what happens on the
horizon when the sun goes down. We noticed that when there is water in the fore
ground, the light often reflects onto the water. We also noticed that things
such as trees and boats turn to silhouettes when the light is behind them.
Using paint we worked hard to create some blended pieces showing different
types and colours and reflections that appear when the sun goes down.
