Play, Make, Create Rainbows

Today for Play, Make, Create we read a story “The Magic School Bus makes a Rainbow” 

We were allowed to create our own rainbow using the materials.

1. You are less likely to see a rainbow in the winter.

2. A double rainbow appears when light is reflected twice in a rain drop.

  1. Earth is the only planet in the solar system that has rainbows.

Pōhutukawa Play, Make, Create

This week we learnt about Pōhutukawa, the eldest star in the Matariki cluster. We read the story “Haere – Farewell, Jack, Farewell” By Tim Tipene.

For the poem we had to complete a piece of writing about love, remembrance or someone who had passed away. We had to include alliteration and similes.

We had to complete a reading task about this book. I chose to do a animation retelling the book Haere – Farewell, Jack, Farewell,.

For Play, Make, Create we made a ‘Poetree’ and we created a creature or flower. Here is a picture of our Poetree with our poems and creations.
