Fun times in Room 16

We have had a busy few weeks in our room. Week 1 started off with book character assembly and we all looked great in our costumes. Here is a photo of us all.

Last week we had Grandparents day and World Cup sports. We loved having our grandparents in our room. The World Cup sports was fun too. We were very excited to hear that the All Blacks won the World Cup! Lucas was especially excited when he came to school today and he wrote an amazing story. This is what he wrote:

In the weekend I watched the rugby World Cup. The All Blacks played Australia in the final. The All Blacks won The Web Ellis Trophy. Dan was the player of the day. I felt happy because the All Blacks won. They are the champions for four years.

I am super proud of this effort Lucas.

We made up a poem for the All Blacks and would like to think it helped them win! Here is a video of us reciting our poem.

Week 7 in Room 16.

Today we showed our hats in assembly. We paraded up and down the hall so everyone could see our great protective hats. We also showed our beautiful happy daffodils. We wrote spring stories this week and we all think that Spring is a lovely time of year. This week we had a new teacher! We gave Mrs Evans animal body parts like a lions tail and mane, butterfly wings and eyes, long flamingo legs and giraffe arms. Check out Jonti and Anika's stories about Mrs Evans! Please come in and read the other children's stories.

Week 5 in Room 16

This week in writing we wrote about elephants. This was factual writing and we wrote what we had learned about them. Did you know that elephants live in herds and they use their trunks like we use arms. They can lift and carry things with their trunks and they can also hug their babies with their trunks. Check out our elephants in Room 16.  Next week is going to be exciting because we are making protective hats and we are going to have a hat parade on Wednesday afternoon. We hope you can come and see our wonderful creations. That's all for now, it's time for home.

Week 3 in Room 16.

Beware of the Pirates around Grey Main. They have probably come from Room 16! We are learning about protective hats this term and later on this term we are going to make a protective hat. It could be a sunhat, a hard hat, a wooly hat or any other one we can think of and make. Some hats are fun hats and today we had a bit of fun learning to fold a paper hat. When they were finished we thought we looked like pirates! What do you think? Here is a photo of us wearing our pirate hats. But the big question is, would it be a good protective hat?

Wonderful writers in Room 16.

Today Mrs Evans was super proud of all the wonderful writers in our room. We wrote about making elephant toothpaste. Please come in and see your child's great writing.

Week 1 Term 3

This week I asked the children what they wanted included in our weekly blog and this is what some of them said. 

Lucas wanted to tell you that Cody is leaving us today. We will miss you Cody and wish you all the best. 

Jayko said, "this term we are going to have lots of fun and he can't wait for all the exciting things to happen. 

Kyla wanted to tell you that our shared book this week was T Shirts and that we made paper t shirts and put rhyming words on them. 

We have had a busy week!
