Catherine's Taha Challenge!

Cops and Robbers!

Catherine and her sister Finau have created their own ENGAGE game called cops and robbers which they played at home during the lockdown. It is very similar to the ENGAGE game called "The Giant's Treasure" which Mrs Carter will share with you soon. Well done girls for being so creative!

Fitness challenge!

Catherine decided to set a challenge for herself that she could run 100 laps around her house. So her big sister Finau recorded her attempt. Great effort Catherine and good on you for keeping up your fitness during the lockdown!

Making a boat in lockdown!

Catherine decide to make a boat today. She used cardboard, paper, and sellotape. She had so much fun making it. She enjoyed role playing sailing across the seas...She found a boy (our brother Vaha) with treasure and he gave it to her and she went home. They hope you like it!

Making jelly at home!

Finau and Catherine got busy and their whole family made jelly. Finau said "It was super fun and simple". You just buy a box that has jelly in it and mix hot water with it. Then stir and put it in the fridge so it can set for a few hours. Catherine had a great time and she really liked the blue jelly which was blueberry. They also made some lime jelly.

Home Learning - finding insects!

Today Finau and Catherine found a cicada shell in their garden. Vaha also went to look and play around the trees and Catherine and Keni (their little brother) were just playing and having fun. They kept looking and found more cicada shells.

Home learning about birds.

Finau and Catherine have done some homework. It was about birds and Catherine read the story about the birds and she added eggs together to make it add up to 10 (she did not really get real eggs, it was just her homework). She also had to write the word owl and coat.

Hi Miss Gaston and Miss Carter, me Finau and Catherine found a butterfly. Since our theme for this term is The Living Earth we went and played outside and we found a butterfly. I was hanging all the laundry and Catherine and Vaha were yelling at me and they were telling me there was a butterfly right next to me and I looked down and there was one. Catherine just got it's wing and my brother got my chromebook and we took a photo. We hope you like it and love it. Bye!
