Sharing Personality Bags

Here is what we brought to school to share about ourselves

Getting to know our brain: Brain Immersion

 This is half of the pig's head. The brain is on the meat tray.

 We are learning about parts of our brain, here we are colouring in, using different colours showing the different parts.

 On the computers we listened and learnt about our brain, watching you tube clips.

 We saw a power point about our brain on our teacher's laptop. We learnt our brain is the boss of everything.

 Here is a close up view of the pig's brain. Can you see it's wrinkles? This brain has been sliced in half.

 Books and charts helped us understand more about how important our brain is.

 We made our own brain using play doh. It was fun.

A 3D model we had to make, helped us understand where the brain sits in our head.

Connecting with our Team: Beach Day

     Hey, here we are at Long Bay, getting to know each other.

Class Treaty

 After talking in groups we picked values/rules we wanted to agree to (like the Waitangi Treaty)
We wrote them on large white paper, which we painted with cold tea. When it had dried, we went outside to burn the edges, so our treaty could look like the Waitangi treaty,  we saw in the photo.

 This the first lighting of the paper.

 You can see  we have burnt more of the edges

 The red "dots" are our thumb prints with our name beside them, showing others we agree to "keep" the values/rules we talked about.

Once the edges were burnt, some of us got to screw the paper up so it would look all wrinkly and old.
