Buddy work with Karaka

On Tuesday afternoon we always learn new skills in Physical Education with Harakeke.

This week however was a little different, we instead worked with Karaka buddies.

In small groups, the Karaka children taught, Harakeke and Pohutukawa children a new game, skill or activity specifically relating to PE.

Loads of activity - cones, balls and fun!

Careful instruction and learning.

Learning from one another.

The Karaka buddies were great role models sharing their knowledge, offering loads of encouragement, trying new things and having fun!  Thanks Karaka, Pohutukawa had a ball.

Back at class we all gave the thumbs up when reflecting.  Can't wait for the next buddy time!

Production Songs

In Pohutukawa this week we are continuing our focus on Matariki. 

We practiced the songs for the up and coming Harakeke and Pohutukawa Production.  We visited Harakeke and sung many songs together. We also thought about the various roles we can have within the show.
