Printing

We have been learning about the q sound today.  Ngawai has done some beautiful q printing.

Probability

We have been learning about probability.  Miss Charmley read us a story 'The Gruffalo''.  We then had to decide if the Gruffalo would have seen, might have seen, or wouldn't have seen all the things in our pictures, when he was going through the woods.  The pictures on blue card are all the things the Gruffalo would have seen.  The pictures on the black card are all the things the Gruffalo might have seen.  The pictues on the pink card are all the things the Gruffalo wouldn't see.  We had to give good reasons why each picture belonged in it's space.  Do you agree with our choices?

Teddy Bears Picnic

Today we had a teddy bears picnicwith our big buddies.  It was really nice to show off our teddies, eat lunch with them and play with them at big buddy time.  Thanks big buddies - we think you're pretty awesome!

Purple Hearts

Room 2 made purple hearts to show all the things they are thankful for.  Some children were thankful for their families, some were thankful for their houses, their toys or their friends. 

Amazing Art

We have been using Crayon and dye to make some beautiful pictures.  These pictures are of us displaying the schools 4R's: Respect for others; Respect for property; Respect for ourselves; and Respect for the environment.

This weeks poem is 'Ten Little Monkeys'.  We have been practising and doing the actions, it is one of our favourite poems.

Kia Kaha

We have had Mr Tonkin in doing Kia Kaha with us.  He has been teaching us about how cool it is to be different, making sensible choices and what to do around bullies.  Thanks Mr T!

Moth Update

We have been to the Landcare Research website to identify the moth from yesterday. 

It is a great website for identifying bugs of all shapes and sizes.

We thought it was a Gum emperor moth, do you think we are right?

Amazing Moths

Look at this HUGE moth Alva found on the side of her room.  It has amazing long wings, with spots, and furry legs.  We are going to start searching what type of moth this is. Watch this space, for our findings....

Circle Time

We like to finish off our day with Circle Time.  This gives us a chance to share events in our day and celebrate good things that we or others have done.  Here Beau is discussing who he saw being a good friend today.  We all try to be great friends in Room 1 by being kind and looking after each other.
