WALT: Identify Nouns

Today we learned how a noun is a person, place or thing. 

Here are some of the nouns we came up with: 

Busy Bees can cook!

We were very lucky to have the exciting opportunity to cook healthy food with Chef Chris! We had so much fun learning about vegetables and how frogs legs taste like chicken! 

We are bucket fillers!!!

We read the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today?  Here is a clip of the book: 

We reflected on ways we can fill other people's buckets:

- We can put our hand out and the other person can put their hand out and we can help them up (Benjamin) 

- If someone is new in the school we can help them by showing them around (Keira) 

- We can play with people if they have nobody to play with. We can invite them to be our friend (Heidi) 

- We can say nice things to them if they are feeling sad or if they aren't sad and we notice nice things that they do (Jacob) 

Some of us also drew some fantastic looking buckets during discovery time this week: 

Keeping Ourselves Safe

This morning we met constable Helen who will help us learn how we can keep ourselves safe. Today we learned about how our bodies belong to us and who can and can't touch us. 

Discovery Time

We had such a great time during discovery with the Bright Bugs. We have been learning to show our Whakawhanaungatanga (positive relationships).

Here were our initial ideas on how we show our whakawhanaungatanga during discovery time.

•        If someone is doing an activity by themselves we can go and be their buddy (Angus)
•        If you do something wrong to someone like accidently hurt them you need to apologise and make sure they are alright (Atta)
•      You can tell people how much you like their creations if you are on art on making something (Clara)
•        If someone trips over you can help them by giving them a plaster (Eshaan)
•      Play with people who don’t have anyone to play with (Chelsea)
•       If someone gets hurt we can get a teacher and then look after them (Awhina)

Welcome Back!!
