My name is Mrs Williamson and I am the teacher in Room 5. We are a lovely bunch of year 1 & 2 children who love learning about the world around us.

Term 4 started off with our school production of Taniwha, Taniwha.
Room 5 performed to the song Row, Row, Row your Waka, where Kiwi, Pukeko and Hoihoi paddled to Aotearoa and met its occupants.
We are also busy with our school athletics day and diving into our Topic of 'Keeping Safe in our Community'.

Room 5 has been exploring the 'Material World' this term. We are looking at the states of matter and how they change. This involved lots of fun experiments! We made crystals and fizzy pink cow drinks, we turned a liquid into a solid when we made jelly lollies, and watched a volcano fizz over.

In Term 2, the focus is on our Inquiry into Lake Rotokare. We have enjoyed learning about native NZ animals and also pests and predators.
We had fun making rat traps and putting them around our school, especially near the chickens!

This term our days have been busy learning to swim in the school pool, creating amazing art, and getting to know each other.
Room 5 loved creating art, we drew koru and Māori symbols and even tried weaving.
