Welcome to our blog. We are students in the Junior Class at Lake Brunner School. Whaea Pip is our teacher. We are named Moana after the lake and the town we are in. Our school is on the West Coast of the South Island in New Zealand.

Animal Sounds
We are learning about Sound and Communication this term. Animals make all sorts of different sounds to communicate. Today, we each chose and animal and did an pastel and dye picture of it making its sound. Can you see all the fabulous animals we created?

Maps!
We read the book, 'Chimp and Zee' by Catherine and Laurence Anholt today. The children were interested in the big map in the book, which showed all the locations in the story. So we decided to make our own maps!
Some made treasure maps, some made story maps. Some made maps of where they lived and others made HUMUNGOUS maps!
We learned how maps have North, South, East and West on them.
Some of us also made our maps look old by cutting or tearing the edges, scrunching them up and using a wet teabag to 'paint' them.
Moana is a class of amazing map-makers!
