Week 8

Today we had some wonderful writing in our class and I want to share it with you. Some children wrote 4 ideas. Here are their stories.

Mia's story:

Yesterday I went to Christchurch to see my Grandma. My brother and I went to Chipmunks to play. I went on the guns. I found a bag and I filled the bag up with balls. Then I went to the gun  to shoot it.

Luke's story:

In the weekend I built a tool box. I got it from Mitre Ten. My Dad helped me build it. Then I painted it with lots of colours.

This is great work guys and I am proud of you. Keep up the great work.

Week 7 in Room 16

It's been another fun filled week in our classroom this week. On Tuesday it was St Patricks Day and Mrs Evans told us that it is an Irish celebration. We learnt about the pot of gold at the end if the rainbow and that if you see a leprechaun they will grant you a wish. We haven't had any luck finding one yet! For writing on Tuesday we gad to write about what we would wish for if we found one. We made rainbows and wrote our wishes on them. Jayko wished for a puppy, Lucas C wished for an insect catcher, Luke wished for some chocolate, Mackenzie wished for a swimming pool and Emily wished for a ballerina box. Come in and see our rainbows. They are hanging up and make our classroom beautiful. To carry on the rainbow theme, on Thursday we made a rainbow in a jar! We layered different coloured liquids and they didn't mix. We thought it was like magic! Here are some photos of our rainbows.

Week 6 in Room 16.

This week we were learning about the letter b. We made bears and decorated biscuits with icing. Yum, yum. We presented in assembly today. We shared our plants because we are scientists and are finding out all about plants. We know they are living things and can tell you what they need to survive. We have been observing and classifying. Come in and see our wall display. Next week we will show you a video of how we get ready to learn in the mornings. We move our bodies and get our brains ready to think.

Here is a photo of Lily and Mackenzie hard  at work decorating their biscuits.

Week 5 in Room 16

This week we had three new children join our class. That means we have 16 children in our class now and there arm order to come before the end of term. We welcome Mia, Lily and CJ to our class. Already they have shown that they are going to be great Grey Main Learners. Today was exciting when our field turned into a swimming pool becaus of all the heavy rain. We thought the classroom might float away if it kept raining! Here is a photo of the big puddle outside our classroom.

Week 3 in Room 16

We have had another busy week in Room 16. Some of our writers managed to write two ideas with very little help from the teacher. This means they are well on their way to being independent writers. Way to go guys! Read their stories below.

Today we had our swimming sports at the Aquatic centre and it was great fun. We walked to the pool and back to school. It was a long way back in the hot sun. Who can you see having fun in the water?

Week 2 in Room 16.

We have had another great week in Room 16. Jonathan started school and is showing us he is a great listener. We had a visit from Constable Bryan and Bobby who told us why ignoring is important to wear a seat belt. We had our photo taken with Bobby too. On Friday we walked down to the Aquatic Centre to see the big trucks, roller and digger working. They are making a sports centre. At the moment there is a very big hole there! It was really hot. When we got back to school Mrs O gave us all a banana ice block. Thank you Mrs O. We have lots to write about next week.

Week 1 in Room 16

We have got off to a great start in Room 16. We have 10 children in our class - Bailey, Cody, Jayko, Jonti, Lucas, Anika, Mackenzie, Kyla, Emily and Mylee. We are learning the Grey Main Way and are looking forward to learning lots and lots! 

This week we went out to our school garden to do some weeding with all our friends from Syndicate 1. We were learning the difference between plants and weeds. Who can you see in our photos?
