Farewell to 2022

 

The wonderful and zany kids say goodbye to their time in Room 14 and are looking forward to their new teachers and friends in 2023.

Last Developmental

 This week was our last developmental session for 2022. It has been such fun joining the other classes in Team Waka and choosing between the various activities inside and outside the classroom. We get a chance to try so many different things and work with children from the other rooms.

In Room 14 our last activity saw us creating all sorts of art works with fabric. These photos show the start of the session.... it was far too messy to show photos when we had finished!! A lot of cleaning up was required, but we had such fun making stuff that we didn't mind the tidying at the end.

Athletics Day

 Our athletics practices paid off - our skills were on display on the Junior Athletics day.

The perfect way to finish a fantastic day of competition and sportsmanship.... ice blocks!

A little bit scary - a big bit naughty!

 We read a story called Where the Wild Things Are. 

The main character was called Max, he was very naughty. He was sent to his room without any food. A jungle grew and there he met some very wild things who love noise and naughtiness!

....and in our classroom some jungle vines have grown and the wild things are swinging among them.....

Week 5

 We made a video to show Harold Giraffe how we are keeping healthy and learning maths at the same time. He came to our class in his special carry cage to watch us. He was amazed and gave us some special treats - some Life Education stickers and a very special mini Harold toy.

This week was Wh week. We learned about whales -  did you know that they breathe air like we do?

... and we designed 3D wharves after looking a photos of two of the wharves in Christchurch; Lyttelton  and Diamond Harbour.

Visitors - dogs and a giraffe!

 What an exciting week we have had. 

On Monday we had 2 dogs visit us while we learned about dog safety. Most of us were brave enough to feed and pat a dog.

... and on Thursday we had our long awaited turn to visit Harold the giraffe in the Life Education bus.

We are learning about how everyone is unique and how great it is to be friends with lots of people who like different things to us. 

Ch week

We learned about a new digraph this week. Ch is for chicken and chipmunk.

 We found out that chickens take 21 days to hatch. You can see the rest of their life cycle on our chickens' tummies.

We had to make 3D chipmunks out of 2 strips of paper. Quite a challenge, but we made some awesome chipmunks.
