Welcome to  Term 2!   We are very excited to be back for another busy term. This term our focus for maths is add/sub and patterns and our ROAR sessions is all about friendships. This term we will be focussing on active living.

This term we made some Anzac biscuits and we made some fizzy paint.  The Anzac biscuits tasted yummy.  To make the fizzy paint we used baking soda, vinegar and food colouring.  The baking soda and vinegar bubbled when they were added together.  It made a fizzing sound.

We made some yummy pancakes after we had read the story A batch of pancakes.  They tasted very yummy.  We put jam or maple syrup on them.

TERM 1 2022

We have had a busy term already. During the term we have been busy swimming and learning the routines. The  children have been floating on their tummies with and without a flutter board. They are enjoying the new pool with it been nice and warm.  In writing we made some popcorn and blew bubbles.  Wheels day was a great hit with the children where they enjoyed riding their scooters and bike on the court.

Welcome to  Term 2!   We are very excited to be back for another busy term. This term our focus for maths is fractions and our ROAR sessions is all about learning the zones of regulations. Technology is our focus for this terms inquiry. For this we are looking into toys - the history of toys, what toys are made of and we will make our own toys. 

Welcome to Term 3.  This term we are busy training for cross country, learning about shapes in maths and our topic is all about the living world. We have been learning about dinosaurs over the last few weeks. The different types of dinosaurs, where they lived, what they eat and fossils. OnFriday we had a fun dinosaur day where we played with toy dinosaurs, read books, made skeltons and did some art.  The children had a great day.

Welcome  Term 3!  We have another busy term ahead of us.  Over the holidays our classroom had the final touches completed with new carpet and lino laid.  We will be getting ourselves fit and ready for our upcoming school cross country and learning a dance for It's not a production. Our focus is on writing and we will begin a new literacy programme.  Hope you will take the time to check back in later.

Welcome to Term 2.  Over the holidays our classroom had a makeover with new coloured walls installed, new ceiling and lights.   This term we are learning about fractions where we have learnt about halves and quarters.  We made some fraction flowers and fraction monsters.  Ready to Roar has began again where we are buddy's with Room 10. We have been learning about feeling safe around school and our worries.  We were very lucky to Brett Fairweather from Jump Jam come to school in Week 1 and teach us some cool moves.  We enjoy doing jump jam every morning. Our topic focus is learning about the history of New Zealand where we will learn about kumara, timber trade and flax making.

To end the Term we had a Firewoman and an ambulance driver come visit us at school.  We learnt about how to keep safe when we find matches or a lighter.  We were allowed to try on some of the clothing that they wear to keep themselves safe.  The ambulance driver brought an ambulance to school where we saw what was inside the ambulance.  We could see how Layla's heart beats on the screen and Benny had a ride on the stretcher.

We have a great start to the term.  Our maths focus is Statistics where we have been collecting data about ourselves and displaying the data in the form of pictographs. Our swimming is off to a great start where we are learning to gain confidence in the water.  We have learnt how to put our heads under the water and the correct techniques for floating our fronts. During our first few weeks we have been exploring and playing together in class.

This term in swimming we have all become more confident.  We can all put our heads under the water and let go of the bars.  During swimming we have learnt to float on our tummies and backs. Our parents came to watch us during our swimming demonstration.

Last week we feed the chickens for the whole week.  Each day we gave them the scraps from the staffroom, 2 cups of pellets and made sure they had fresh water.  Most days the chickens had lay some eggs.  We enjoyed feeding the chickens and we did some fantastic writing about feeding them.  Check out some of our writing below.

This term we had Justin from the St John's ambulance come to talk to us about what we need to do if we ned an ambulance.  We learnt what number to call and practiced calling for an ambulance.  Justin showed us the breathing gas that he gives to people to help them breath.
