Water safety
We went to the pool today. It's quite deep so we must wear life jackets to stay afloat. It is really important that we are confident in the water so we will learn how to use floatations devices to help us.

Symbolism
Today we learnt that the harakeke (flax) plant symbolizes the family.
The little leaves in the middle represent the children while the next leaves represent the parents and grandparents.

Friday Highlights
At Kiwi Can we are learning about respect.
We looked in the box and saw something very special!
During Math we got into groups and worked together to make the longest paper chain.
This group counted 102 links in their chain!
We have been looking at pictures of rangoli patterns. We drew a rangoli-inspired design on a paper plate. We will paint them next week.

Maori instruments
We are learning about Maori instruments. We watched some videos of people playing some wind instruments. Sam said they looked like flutes. Maima said that the sound was made by blowing into them.
We made an instrument called a porotiti which makes a gentle sound when it spins.
Before/after
We cut up pictures of the activities we usually do at school each day then put them in order. We talked about what is before/after.
