Kapa Haka

Each Tuesday we join Matua Madsen in the hall for Kapa Haka. The children are loving this special time when we sing waiata, learn the haka and practice stick games. Matua Madsen makes learning fun.

Our school magnolia

Spring has come to Auckland Point School.  The magnolia outside the senior block is covered in pink and white flowers.  The new magnolias we have planted in the Moller Fountain Park are not yet in flower but we are watching them closely for the first flower.  The daffodils are beginning to come through and this week we will finish our dinosaurs to put out on display.

Maths in Nelson Room

We are working on numbers. First we have to take a 2 digit number out of the box. One person has to show the number on the abacus and the other person has to make it on the place value sticks. 

What number have we made?

Ceramics

Nelson Room children are learning about ceramics this term in Art. We are enjoying working with clay each week. Already the children have made some amazing animals,faces and shape. We plan a visit to MacMillan Pottery in Richmond to see a working pottery. We hope to make piece of pottery and it will be fired to biscuit ware. It is a favourite activity.
