Our Term 3 Class Party

We have finished another busy term of learning in E6.  We decided as a class to have a special party lunch to celebrate how super we all are!

We all helped to set the tables for the party.   We put some pretty flowers into some jars and put them on the table.  We all brought a special plate of food to class to share with our friends.  We put the food out on the table nicely.





We love to spend time with each other in E6 doing special things together ... and we love parties!

Our 3D Pukeko Pictures

This week we have been enjoying some stories and songs about Pukekos.   We found an app on the ipads and ipod touch at school that made our colouring in Pukeko pictures come to life in amazing 3D.  





We had to colour in our pukeko first.   Then we looked through the ipad and saw our pukeko come to life!  It was amazing to see our pukeko walking around and eating the worm in our picture.

We put our hand underneath the pukeko and 'picked him up'.  He walked across our hand when we looked through the screen.  When we saw our pukeko move around we said "WOW!"


We took photos of our 3D pukekos.  Have a look! 




















If you have a device that uses apps then you might be able to do this at home too.   
You can visit this website to find out more (and be amazed!):

Colar App

The Colar app is free to download, and lots of fun! Print off a few more pictures, colour them in, and have fun watching them come to life!

Meeting a Nurse


We have been so busy meeting so many superheroes that work in Lower Hutt this week!

Today we met a Nurse.   Nurse Debbie has been a nurse for 30 years.   She helps keep people healthy, and makes them feel better if they are sick or hurt.  She came to school to talk to E7 and E6 about her very important job.



Debbie is a real superhero who lives in our community.  We helped Debbie find the equipment that she needs to do her job.












We helped Debbie make a poster of all the special equipment that Nurses use to help people.


Debbie showed us all the important equipment she needs to help her look after people.

Miss Pauley found these images of the equipment Nurse Debbie showed us.

This is the Nurses Badge.  This shows us that Nurse Debbie has learned how to be a Nurse.  We know she is someone we can trust to help us.



This is a stethoscope.  Nurse Debbie uses it to listen to our heart and lungs.  She can hear how strong and healthy we are and work out if we need help.



Can you remember the other items Nurse Debbie told us that she needs to use to do her job?

Bandage
Scissors
Torch
Watch
Come and see our poster in our classroom that we made with Nurse Debbie!

Nurse Debbie showed us how she makes a sling for someone with a broken arm.  Megan was a super patient for Nurse Debbie!





Nurse Debbie really is a superhero! We are lucky to have Nurses in our community to look after us if we need help.

Thank you Miss Pauley for sharing your photos with us! You can see more about our Nurse Visit by clicking here to view E7's amazing Class Blog.
