Week 2 Term 3 - Cook Island Language week

 Kia Orana

We were so lucky to have Tamatoa and his mum and new baby Manava talk to us about life in the Cook Islands. They had so many things to show ua and tell us about.

A very big thank you from Room 14.

We made zebras from our handprints ... we are trying hard to make sure our zebras all have different stripes, just like real zebras. Come in and see them parading across our classroom wall.

Who is behind the tree? 

Why it is Mr Griffiths trying to trick us!! Thanks to Mr Griffiths for trimming the trees to let the light in our room.

Starting Term 3

 Goodness, it is Term 3 already. We are learning about geometry this term. We will learn about shape and rotation. We started by working with a buddy to find some square shapes in our classroom.

We also learned about the short e sound - look at the cute mice we made from our printing practice.

Rainbows, Raindrops and Robots

 R week in Room 14 to end the term....

A class of robots - all are different just like their designers.

We made our raindrops with eye droppers and blue dye to make them look realistic.

A Big Thank You

 Mrs Jones has made us a set of toys - they are all 26 of the friends from the Milo's Birthday Surprise book. They are amazing and even have all their accessories from the story.

We have made her cards to say thank you. We put a picture of  our favoutite characters inside.

The Kahoot Challenge

 We love to play Kahoot - a game where we compete in teams to answer questions.

This Kahoot is all about matching Milo's friends with the letter that their name starts with.

Matariki

 Rooms 14, 4 and 18 had a wonderful morning making Matariki crafts together. We had five different activities we could choose from and had fun rotating around and finding the things we wanted to do. A big thanks to our big buddies who helped us with all the tricky bits!

                             

                                       

Mr Lewis made 'Matariki Soup' othewise known as carrot soup. He says it helps us to see the Matariki stars. All but one of us had a taste... some of us liked it and some not so much. 

Week 8

 Wonderful Wai - a science investigation

We looked at the 3 states of water; liquid, solid and gas. We added salt to an ice ball to see how the look and feel of the ice changed. We even squirted coloured water on it and described what we could see.

V is for vase

We combined our fractions (folding in half and quarters) and cutting and colouring skills to make a vase full of flowers.
