End of Term 1

 

Week 11 - Who am I

 The children have worked really hard at home to share who they are.  They brought many different things to school to share and then on Friday we had a shared lunch.  Here is a presentation about their learning.

Week 8 - Culture Slides

This week the children started our new inquiry My World.  They worked alongside a buddy to create a slide.

Week 11 - Kiwiana Art

 The children have been sharing all about their cultures and later in the blog I will share a slideshow.  In class we have been learning what it means to be a Kiwi (New Zealander).  We looked at kiwiana to learn more about the New Zealand culture.

What is kiwiana?

What is kiwiana town?

We even watched a couple of advertisements that you might remember.

The children then looked at some kiwiana pictures and decided why they are special to New Zealand.  They then chose a one piece of kiwiana to create a piece of art.  

I am so proud of the finished art and here are a selection...  

PS snuck mine in as well. :)

Week 11 - Travelwise Middle School Winners

 Thank you so much for making changes to how you drop off and pick up your children each day.  Because of your awesome support the children filled in the Travelwise chart.  Today our class was drawn out to win the prize for the Middle School.  We were so excited!

Week 11 - Nature Everyday

 Room 11 is getting into Nature Everyday.  Today we went outside to look at the rain and the children wrote in their nature notebook about the rain.

The children were watching the rain and Mason said "Did you know that when the rain drops hit the puddles they make a star shape and bubbles."  We were fascinated and all crowded to have a look...

Week 10 - Block Building

 Gosh the blocks are a favourite in Room 11 this year.  Here are some more block structures...
