Our Little Gardens

Everyone has planted a little garden. We will watch them grow.

Thank you to Mrs Reese-Jones for collecting lots of the plants for us.

When the Circus Comes to Town

This week our shared book was called 'When the Circus Comes to Town'. We made Big Top tents with a circus ring inside. We drew an audience and added some circus acts.
We also designed fun faces for our clown masks. We used our new crayons and paint pens to decorate the masks, bow ties and hats.

Co-operative Construction

Our 'new' Mason and a construction crew worked together to make this duplo masterpiece. Mason took a photo before we had to pack it up again. Great teamwork!

Where the Wild Things Are

One weekend, in Room, 17 a jungle grew......

Video Stars

This week we been trialling an app that turns us into video stars. We want to record our class song but first we just tried out the different effects. We liked the rainbow effect best. Take a look....

Keep an eye out - we will record our class song for you soon.

Did you see Ethan and Mason our two new Room 17 kids? They look like this....

Baby Salmon

We went to visit Mr Ogston in Room 18. He showed us his baby salmon and told us all about them. He said the salmon can spend about five years out at sea and then find their way back to where they were born all by themselves. We don't think we could find our way back to where we were born!

Room 17 On Stage

We did it! We finished our musical and performed it for our whanau.
We are really proud of ourselves! What a way to finish our busy term.

Fractions

We have been learning about fractions in Maths. We made 'cakes and pizzas' out of kinetic sand and had turns at cutting them in half - making sure the halves were fair - that they are equal shares!
We found out that half means 2 equal pieces or groups.

Developmental

Each Friday we have our Developmental Programme 9-10 am. Each classroom/teacher has a theme for the day e.g. Creative, Maths and Science, Sensory, Construction, Sports etc. The children are able to work in any area. It is a great opportunity for self directed learning and working with children from other classes. At our last school assemble we played this movie showing all the things we do and learn.
