Exploring Nature Features

Exploring Nature Features

This week, some children spent time having a close up look at stones, sands, volcanic rock and leaves using magnifying glasses and also magnifiers that are attached to the iPad. The children were amazed to find out what they could see through the magnifiers. Some saw holes and sparkles on the stones others tiny seashells in the sands.

  1. Kia ora, we like the pictures that you took. We like the leaves and the rocks and the sand. We like that you looked at those things. We like looking through magnifying glasses too. Nā Winter-Rose and VJ.

    1. Kia ora, Harakeke children, thank you for your comments.
      Ryder, we got the volcanic rock from the Port Hills. Tonga from Te Rōpū Whakaute thought it looked like the moon.

  3. Morena,

    We are from Te Mauru e Taki nei at South Hornby School.

    We would also love to know where did you find the volcanic rock? Was it from New Zealand?

    Theo would like to know, "why did you use magnifying glasses?"
    Bailey would like to know, "how many stones did you find?"
    Kaitlin asks, "Were the sparkles you found colourful?"

    We look forward to hearing your answers.

  4. Kia ora, Te Mauru e Taki nei,
    We found the volcanic rock at the Port Hills.
    Theo, we used magnifying glasses because we can see things bigger so we can see them better.
    Bailey, we have about 7 stones at the moment but we keep adding more as we find them. They all look slightly different.
    Kaitlin, the sparkles were a little bit colourful. We saw silver, yellow and pink.

    Thanks for your questions.

Letter of the Week

This year we are doing phonics in our homerooms. Kiwi class looks at two letters and their matching sounds every week. Weka and Pukeko classes work together on one letter of the week. Each week we have a letter of the week wall where we display all the things we can find that begin with our letter of the week. Last week our letter was H and we had some fun having Harlin Haines wearing a hat on our h wall. Too cute not to share! This week our letter is J so get your thinking caps on Weka and Pukeko classes, what words do you know that start with J?
