Our final week in Room 19!

We had a very busy week last week! But it was a lot of fun too.

We had our Tui Disco on Tuesday morning and had a great time dressing up and dancing along with the rest of the syndicate.

Then, on Wednesday we had a fantastic afternoon at the Kilbirnie Rec centre. We loved playing on the obstacle course and then enjoyed a wonderful picnic lunch in the sunshine!

And finally, on Thursday, we had our Parent Helper Thank-You shared lunch. We really appreciate the help that parents provide in our syndicate and it was great to have some of you come along.

Our Bird House

On Friday last week, we had a special delivery - our very own wooden bird house! The only problem was, it was in lots of pieces, so we had to put it together.

Juliet's Dad, Graham, helped us by drilling the holes in the wood.
Then, we all worked together to hammer in the nails and construct the house. It looks really neat now that it is finished. All we need to do now is attach the hooks to hang it and then find a place to put it.

We're going to the zoo!

This week we learnt the letter 'Z' and so on Wednesday we made our own Room 19 Zoo!

The children were so creative and worked extremely well together to make different cages for the animals.

 

 

 

 

Jamie even made a sign for the Zoo - out of K'nex!! Ka Pai Jamie :)

Fans for Friday

We were very excited this morning when Seef brought in a fan for everyone in the class! Each one had a place from Malaysia on it and we really needed them because today was HOT. Thank you Seef!

We spent the afternoon making our Bird Feeders. We wanted to make the school environment more attractive for birds and also wanted to do some recycling, so we painted plastic bottles and then attached string, perches and cheerio treats for the birds. Have a look for them around the side of our classroom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My little Monsters

This week has been all about the book "Monster's Lunch".

We read and discussed it as a class, we listened to it on the Ipad (get the audio here Link to audio) and we drew our own ideas for what could go in Monster's Lunch.

This afternoon we made our own monsters out of shapes and they are terrifying!

We also welcomed a new person into our class this week - Zac! We love his smile and have enjoyed getting to know him. Welcome Zac :) 

Week 6 - Full of fun!

Week Six was just as busy as the previous week and we were very excited to welcome two new people into Room 19 - A big welcome to Juliet and Lillian. You have been so happy and slotted into our routines so quickly.

We have started looking at Shapes in Maths and went for a shape hunt in our classroom - there are so many out there when you start looking! Make sure you look at our shape pictures on our wall too.

 





We are working on our inquiry and answering the question "How can we make our school a more safe and attractive environment?" We are making it safe and attractive for the native birds in our area and this week Juliet bought in some pine cones, so we made Birdseed feeders to hang around our school. Keep and eye out for them!

On Friday, we explored the process of baking bread. We learnt about yeast from a non-fiction book in our class and used the contents to help us find information. We were fascinated to watch the yeast activate and learnt all about the conditions that yeast enjoys. We even wrote our own recipes. Our bread rolls were all funny shapes but tasted delicious!

And finally - here is a clip of us grooving along to Go Noodle! We do Go Noodle exercise videos on Friday when we don't have Jump Jam. Each video we complete gets us points. Banana, Banana, Meatball is one of our favourites!
