Playing Duck, Duck, Goose

It was such a lovely fine day when the Mt Hobson Middle School students came to visit so we all went outside to play Duck, Duck, Goose.The younger children thought it was great that the older students were prepared to join in the game too and had as much fun as them running and chasing each other.  Thank you Mt Hobson students for being such great sports joining in the games.

Our "Maui and the Sun" Pictures.

After reading the book "Maui and the Sun" the children wanted to make some sun pictures.  Using ideas from our inquiry topic, Maori Language week and maths (fractions) we made some sun pictures with the help of nine students from the Mt Hobson Middle School. We decorated a circle with swirls and koru like a Maori carving.  Then we got another circle and divided it up into eight equal pieces for the sun's rays.  We glued these around the outer edge of the circle.  Thank you Mt Hobson students for helping us produce some great art work.
