Silverdale Pioneer Village


As part of our "The Past" topic, the primary school visited the Silverdale Pioneer Village last week.
We had a fantastic day, looking at the way people in our area used to live.




We loved looking at the olden day toys....





 ...and the different forms of communication that people used to use, such as telephones, telephone switchboards, televisions, radios and typewriters.
















We liked seeing how people used to bathe and
wash their clothes.






Our favourite room was the old school room.
Ashlee made a fantastic teacher ... even if she was a little bit bossy!



The Tui Class had a brilliant day. It helped us to understand that things were a lot different in the olden days.
Beds were harder, there were no electric lights or computers in homes. The people dressed a lot differently and the teachers were a LOT more strict than Mrs Clark is!

Science - Exploring light and dark, and making shadows


We have been learning about Light and Dark in Science, and part of this has been exploring shadows.
We made the smallest shadow we could…





And we took a while to decide how to make the biggest shadow we could…



And then we made our shadows run, hop and jump. 









Self Portraits

This week we finished our self-portraits. Don’t they look fantastic?


Can you guess who is who? It should be easy, we are very good artists here in the Tui class!




Maths, Maths, Maths!

What a busy few weeks we have had in the Tui Class!

We have been learning about estimating, ordinal numbers, odd and even numbers, and numbers that make 10 and numbers that make 20.
