The Maori K2 Warriors!

Kia ora tatou! (Hello everyone!👋) Tena koutou. (Greetings to you all.🙏) I'm sure everyone is wondering at this moment, what language I'm using.😆Well, these are Maori greetings.😃

We are learning about 🇬🇧New Zealand for Passport around the world. We took this opportunity to do face-painting and arm-painting. The children had a fun time exploring the face painting and discussing with one another on how he/she will like to do it! It was great to see all the smiles and hearing all the laughters. We had a splendid time indeed!

Enzo, feeling more than a warrior!😜

The children: KIA Ora tatou!

(Hello everyone!)🗿

The children: Kei te paid (Good)👍

Childhood is not a time for limitations. Childhood is a time for choices. As adults we need to remember to respect and allow children to make decisions. 

Face painting allows children to express their emotions and they experience lots of fun when they get themselves messy. Parents, you may try this at home too as this will promote family bonding. 

Have fun! 

Moari greetings: 

Hei konei ra. 

(See you later.) 😉Haere Ra. 

(Goodbye)👋

Time to show your power - Teamwork!

 The children will

• Learn that an object or structure is stable when the forces acting upon it are balanced by the composition of the object or structure itself
• Discover that unbalanced forces can cause the deformation or collapse of an object or structure
• Understand that some materials are better than others for constructing a particular object or structure
• Consider the purpose of the object or structure when choosing materials for construction

The class working together as a team.

Keiran was asking the teacher if his base looked stable.

See Ching working with the scotch-tape dispenser.

All working with full focused.

Everyone was talking and working with great joy!

See Ching with her structure base. Feeling achieved!

Lucas and Enzo feeling proud of their art work.

Andrei and Javier helping and supporting their friend with the structures.

Parents u may encourage your child to try building newspaper towers for height only or to support an object. Have them compare the differences in design between towers designed to hold vertical vs lateral loads, and between towers that are not designed to hold any weight but their own. Enjoy constructing together!

Having fun with face painting!

We are learning about the theme 'Myself' and we took this opportunity to do face-painting on the child's face. The children had a fun time exploring the face painting and discussing with one another on how he/she will like to do it! It was great to see all the smiles and hearing all the laughters. We had a splendid time indeed!

The children are discussing among themselves on what and how they would like to paint their face.

Keiran and Eu Yi chose to draw self-portrait than to do face painting. Look at their drawings :-)

Lucas is in the process of painting his goatee.

Javier is painting beard on himself.

The children are laughing at their images on the mirror as they paint.

See Ching is painting a butterfly on her face.

Enzo is choosing the paints and the paintbrush.

The children guided one another and also stayed focus as they painted themselves.

Smile!
