The Kuia and the Spider

We have been reading a story called 'Kuia and the Spider' by Patricia Grace.

This is helping us with our inquiry about 'Grandparents'.  It is helping us think of some new questions for our inquiry.  We want to know how do the kete's get to be two different colours and how do they get the writing on them like in the story.

We also want to know where is the story set. We think the story is at a kohanga or a Marae.

We went out to learn some 'movement' skills from Lana and we saw the Police and Fire people visting the senior children. We worked hard at 'PE' and were team players so our teacher asked if we could have a look at the police car and the fire engine.  We had a great time.

A New I-PAD for Room 3

'Mr K' is presenting a new I-pad to Israel. Israel is receiving it on behalf of Room 3.  I wonder what apps it will have on it to help us with our learning.

I can see Lucy and Granddad.  Lucy asked Granddad about his wrinkles. She said his wrinkles were scrunchy like paper.

I can see a museum of trains.  I went there to have a ride but it was closed and you needed ten bucks.  We went back on another day. The trains were very old, they were little steam trains.

I can see a fluffy dog with fluffy legs and a fluffy face.  You can't see anything on his face.

I can see a dog, like a dinosaur.  It's got scales like a Tyrannosaurus   Rex. It's a dinosaur dog. It is green and pink. It likes playing with a soccer ball.  It puts it in its mouth and carries it back to me.

I can see a boy shark.  He is scary. His teeth are very, very sharp.  His eyes are scary because of the colours.  His tail is flippy and strong.
