Manaiakalani Film Festival- Our Dog Meg

Tamaki 4 is super excited about participating in the Manaiakalani Film Festival for the first time. We created this movie to share how we have been learning how to care for our dog Meg. This has been part of a special program at Sommerville called SPEC. We have focused on the key competency 'Using Language, Symbols and Text' from the NZ curriculum. We were learning how to be responsible for a pet. Meg had a great time at school!

Fireworks Safety

Today we were learning how to be safe around fireworks.
Thank you Tamaki 1 for showing us really safe ways to behave around  fire.

Making Toast

Tamaki 4 is learning about Shapes

 We have been using stencils to draw circle, squares, triangles and rectangles.

 We took our stencils outside to makes shapes on the concrete,

 Then we looked for shapes in the playground and found some sensational circles.
