A busy week

We have had an interesting week in Room 11. On Monday we made our green screen movie featuring all the children. We wrote 3 slogans that we all agreed were just about us. Come along next Thursday night to the iThink night and see us on a big screen. On Tuesday we had Mrs Yeoman teaching us as Mrs Jolly was busy with running records. We did lots of singing and learnt about the Marae. This was so interesting and we will be off to visit the Karitane Marae later this term. We are also starting to learn our mihi. These will come home next week so hopefully our parents can help us learn it. On Wednesday we watched an amazing show that is travelling from Christchurch. It was called The Great Rugby Robber. We laughed and cheered with the characters. It was really fun. In the afternoon we continued our recorder lessons with Mrs Sherlock. We are learning some simple songs and we look forward to this every week. Today is Thursday and we have lots to do writing, maths, reading and we are starting to write an action plan for our learning commitment goals. We look forward to seeing you all next Thursday night at the iThink night.

Weaving

We are learning to weave in Room 11 this week. Here we are in action.

Term 2

We have got off to a busy start in Room 11. The most exciting news is that we have beautiful, brand new, blue carpet. It looks amazing and we really appreciate getting it. We can now sit on the mat more comfortably and it looks fantastic. Thank you to Mr GalLoway and the B.O.T. We love it :) We have been learning how to write instructions. We started off making a sandwich as a class and then writing up the instructions together. We then had a go at writing instructions with a partner. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow so that even an alien from out of space could do it. Come and have a read as we have got them displayed on our writing net. We have also been studying the value of the term Kindness in more depth. We know how to what kindness looks like, sounds like and feels like. We have been learning how to use the Thinkers Keys and have applied these to kindness. They are about to be hanging in our windows to remind us about kindness. If you haven't been in for a while come and see our carpet, read our instructions and have a look at our thinkers keys.
