The Life Education caravan comes to Papatoetoe Central School!

The Life Education caravan is at Papatoetoe Central School now.  We will be visiting it soon and learning about how we can eat healthy food and stay healthy!  We will meet Harold the giraffe who will talk to us and teach us about healthy food.

We have been reading a book called "I can eat a rainbow".  So we are going to eat a rainbow!
We started with eating the colour orange.  We enjoyed eating oranges, persimmons and carrot sticks.

Gymnastics

All the year ones are doing gymnastics for P.E. now.  We are learning how to do a forward roll, how to jump over the vault and how to roll along a mat. We are also learning how to walk along the balance beam.  We are getting really good at doing these gymnastics activities.

Term 2 2013

Well, we are back after the holidays. We are growing in numbers - now there are 17 children in room 4!

In maths we are learning about measurement and how to use the words taller than and shorter than.

We can arrange gingerbread men in order from tallest to shortest or shortest to tallest. We are very clever at this - here is some of our work!
