People are Different

This is our Poem of the Week:

People are Different

People are different everywhere!

Different colours,

different hair.

Different homes

and jobs to do.

But they feel things,

the same as you!

Young and Old

We have been talking about age. 

Using Kidspiration, we found pictures of a baby, a child about the same age as us, someone the same age as our parents and an older person. Then we put them in order from youngest to oldest.

Grumpy Bear

This story is about a bear who wants to have a sleep but the mice and the birds are keeping him awake so he scares them. But the bees don't scare so easily. 
I wonder why?

Here are some of our pictures of Grumpy Bear.

     

 

Cartooning with Stu Duval

We were lucky enough to have Stu Duval to visit our school. 

He is an amazing storyteller, author and cartoonist. 

Stu told us the story of the little green book monster, then the following day he showed us how to draw cartoons.

Stu with a drawing of Fivo the Dog.To draw him start with the number 5.

All of Kowhai team had an amazing time learning how to draw different cartoons using shapes, letters and numbers as a starting point.

We are totally focussed.

Sharing our cartoons.

Here are some of the drawing we did the next day in Kidpix.

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Our Inquiry Unit for the next two terms is called Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. It is about looking at the past to understand today and the future.
We are beginning by looking at age. 
How old are you? 
How old is old? 
How young is young?
Do you want to live to be 100 years old?

We are now Room 4!

We are now in Room 4. All of us have moved from Room 5 into Room 4 and the old Room 4 has moved into Room 5! We had to take all our books and pictures with us. Sometimes we forget and go to the wrong room! Levi has moved into Room 13. Come and visit us in Room 4.
