Reading Success

Ricky has been working hard on his reading this term. All the students at Tamaki Primary read their individual reading books 4x a week at school and also practice at home. Ricky has shown so much progress which we were able to capture in this short clip. Go Ricky!

Writing at Tamaki Primary

Our writing sessions at Tamaki Primary are fun and purposeful. We use multiple tools for learning how to share our ideas including the iPad, alternative pencils and the computer. Amy (our Occupational therapist) is teaching us how to type on the keyboard and access the computer.

Shadow Art

This term we have been learning about shadows and how they are made. We made shadow art by cutting out a photo in black paper as our shadow. We decorated our picture with collage coloured paper. Our shadows can do funny things!

Exploring Shadows with Room 2

Our Topic for this term is Shadows. We love exploring our shadow and watching what our shadow can do. Each friday we go over to Sommerville to work with Room 2. We explore our shadows in the sensory room and then do some work in Room 2 on the Smart-board. Look at us exploring shadows in the dark room!

Autumn leaf printing

We went for a walk outside to find some leaves to use for our artwork, there were lots of leaves on the ground. We found big leaves, small leaves and lots of dry and crunchy leaves. We came back to class and chose some we wanted to use. We cello-taped them to the table, put paper over the top and rolled a crayon over the leaves. Then we added dye.
