Term 2 is well under way in Pukeko Hub. We are all very excited about

the changes to our space. Moving the walls out has made such a big

difference. The space seems so much more roomier. Last week we

received the extra bean bags that have been on back order. The new

ones are green and orange to bring even more colour to Pukeko Hub!

Optimising Learning Opportunities

Learning for Term 2 Inquiry We will be starting our inquiry unit on Monday. The context is ‘science’ with a focus on The Physical World. We will be inves-tigating aspects of solids, liquids and gases as well as changes of state. To conclude the inquiry, the children will carry out an in-vestigation that will put what they have learnt into practice.

The Arts We are going to design and make hand puppets. The pup-pets will be used in a puppet show towards the end of this term. The students will also be participating in a unit of drama which will support what they need to know to create and per-form a puppet show at the end of the term.

Can Collection

For our inquiry unit this term we require

clean and empty tin cans (410grams).

We are aiming to have one can per child.

Please start collecting used tin cans and

send them our way by week 4.
