Alien Blood and Sound Activities

Today some college teachers came and worked with the children in the hall. They made some Alien blood and others learned about sound. Here are some photos of the children in action.

College Teachers visiting

Today we took part in a demonstration lesson for some college teachers from the University. We were learning about where our food comes from. We found out that a lot of the food that we eat is imported to New Zealand. We decided that we are so lucky that we can try and experience lots of different foods not like our great grandparents who ate mainly meat and vegetables from the land. We found food from at least 10 different countries that had come Mrs Jollys pantry. How many different countries does the food in your pantry come from?

Sign Language Smarts

We have been going to different classes in the afternoon depending on what our smart is. In Room 11 we have been designing obstacle courses, learning about the brain, creating dances and learning sign language. This is a video that was created by 3 of the children who were body smart. I think that they have done a fantastic job.

Reading Rocks

Today we watched a fantastic show called READING ROCKS. Adrian was entertaining, talented and most of all had a wonderful message. Reading takes time and practice to make it perfect. When you can read you can learn about anything and everything so turn off the T.V and read and let your imagination run wild. READING ROCKS!

Collage Portraits and Learning Commitment Interviews

We have had such a busy day working on our collage portraits. First we painted our skin colour on a big sheet of paper and then ripped it into the shape of our head. We painted a fancy background on another piece of paper and then put our head on it. We then had to rip out the shape of our eyes and lips. On Thursday we are going to put our hair on. We will post some photos when we have finished. Just a reminder we have learning commitment interviews next week and we need to have 2 goals in place for the next 6 months. See you all next week. If you can't make it just email me so that we can set up another time.
