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!

Week 10 in Room 16

This week Constable Jos came to visit us to talk to us about keeping ourselves safe. We found out about different types of touch. He is coming back to see us next week too. Also next week St Johns will be vusiting us so we are looking forward to our visitors. Mrs Evans's son Cameron said he will bring in his microscope off us to have a look at. That will be fun. 

This week we have been doing some painting and we finished our little bird paintings that we did with a sponge. We think they look really cute. What do you think? Mrs Evans has another great bird painting activity off us to do next week. I wonder what it is!

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.
