BIRD FEEDERS


We made some bird feeders today. 
We used wild bird seed and some dripping from the supermarket. 
Some of the children didn't like the smell or the feel of the dripping. We all managed to make one each to hang up in the trees around the junior playground area.
We will put a string on them tomorrow and see if the birds can feed on them




Wild Bird seed

 Dripping
Logan buttering his pinecone with dripping

Matthew did not like the smell.


Jake and Ella, with Kaylea watching.
What have you got your nose in your shirt for Ella?


Jake was the expert dripping plasterer. He had good coverage.



Seresha enjoyed covering hers using the knife before she covered it in seed.

 
Koby had an end piece on his cone that he could hold onto when he rolled it in the seed.

Orion didn't like the feel of it at all. He shook his hand and the bird seed went everywhere.

Jayden didnt want to get his hands in the smelly dripping.

Karlos did his pinecone and tried to get lots of seeds to stick.
Pagan really wanted to do another one.




Making a Hut



Figuring out how we could hold the tarpaulin down on the ground.

Adam and Jake. Adam said,  "That looks cool".


Jake is seeing if his stick would go through the eyelet. - Problem Solver!









Cool! we will leave Jake to figure that problem out and we will see what its like inside.




PINKY VISITED THE CLASS



Karlos is enjoying having Pinky and Ella supporting him in the classroom. 
Awesome Manaakitanga Ella! 
Way to go Karlos great mat manners!
Pinky what a superstar you are! ( Showing Give me 5)




Exploring Our Maths Boxes



Ryan, Kingston and Brooke playing a game with the number cards. 
Hold your cards up Ryan. We can see you have the number 21. 
You three are working so nicely together. Well done!






Lachlan and Jake had to choose a number. If they roll their chosen number they could move their counter up the game board. I wonder who got to the top first?



McKenzie and Koby choosing a dice to play their game.


Here are Mckenzie and Koby playing an Even Steven  game from their maths boxes.


Koby, Jake, Adam, Orion, and Khoal. and Pagan looking over the top.
AWESOME FUN!!!!





The dress up clothes are a great hit this year. Some of the children have worn them in the
playground as well. Awesome fun
