Boys at play.

The weather hasn't been great lately but it was great to see the boys from Karearea out playing force em back before school. There was lots of sharing and excitement going on as well as some really big kicks!

Karearea's little fish!

This week is the last week if swimming.   It has been great to see how much the little fish in Karearea have improved over the 5 weeks! Tino pai Karearea!

Stanley the spider.

On Monday Mr Banks found a BIG vagrant spider in our iPad box. We decided to call him Stanley. We kept him in a jar and had a good look at him. Yesterday we caught a fly to feed him, but he wasn't interested in the fly.  At the end of the day we decided to let him go. We put him under a bush near our class. This morning when Mr Banks went to open the class door, a spider web thread hit him in the forehead! We wonder if Stanley made it!

Fractions masters!

Today in Karearea, we chose a fraction and tried to find as many ways as we can to show that fraction. We used all sorts of equipment. Tom decided he'd get some leaves and a stick to show 3/4! We are the fractions masters!

We are learning Ukelele!

Have a listen to the start of our first song for the term! 

Short and sweet!
