Planting seeds

 
 
 
We first went out into the garden area and put soil into our cans.





 Once back in class we drew up an observation chart to record what we see and what we do.

 Our seeds came from the fridge .


Tips- Important not to over or under water, needs sunlight and warmth.



Our plants are all NATIVE NZ plants but are all a mystery and we will find out what they are when they come through.

Here we are reading The Wishing Chair with our Reading Buddy





 
Awesome reading everyone. Another exciting adventure on the flying chair.

SRA

 
 
READING- This term we are using SRA. We have just started using it for the first time but so far we are enjoying it. Many students are enjoying the independence and levels they can work through.

Our chapter book

 
This term we are completing a book study on "The Wishing chair". We have copies of the book which we read, share and discuss with a buddy. It is amazing to think it was written in the 1930's.
 
 
 






Here they are on the chair ready to head off on an adventure. I wonder where they will go?
If you were sitting on the chair where would you like to go?
Here the children meet a Giant. AHHHHHH!!!!!!



We have just started the book but can't wait to see where the chair takes them next.

Group Work

 
 
 
Here we are looking at roles within groups.
There needs to be a
 leader- to guide/ encourage
reporter- to share and tell what the group did or learnt
recorder- to draw and write what the group discusses/ does
collector- to get and find things
and most important
Everyone is a Member of the group who shares ideas and helps others.
 
 
 We each took turns being each role in our groups. Some were easy and some were harder.

 We all showed great listening skills.
 We shared answers and supported each other.

 Everyone was involved
 At the end of our tasks we had to complete a senses chart for a bar of chocolate.
It was hard for some to not eat it straight away but we did it.



 We used our sense of sight, touch, smell, sound and of course taste.











We then had to work as a team to write a poem about chocolate.

Here are the 5 minute poems the groups wrote-

Yellow -

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate,
Chocolate is fun   (x2)

Is so fun in my tum, tum, tum.

There's a party going on in my tummy,
the chocolate just makes it seem so funny.

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate ( x2)

I ate too much ....

Ohhhhh!!!! NOOooooooo!!!!!!!!


Red-

Chocolate, chocolate,
Yum and delicious.

Yummy in my tummy

It fills me up all the time.
Come on lets finish this rhyme.


Green-

Brown sweet chocolate melts in my mouth,
It tastes so creamy of cocoa powder.
Its like milk.


Light Green-

Chocolate chocolate owww so much,
Chocolate chocolate flavour.

Chocolate chocolate owwww so much,
It is melting in my mouth.


Purple-

Yum, Yum, Yum in my tum,
we love chocolate it's so fun.

Smelling chocolate smells so yum.

I could eat it all day long.
Eating chocolate one by one,
I feel sick now that it's all gone.

We love chocolate,
we don't want it to end.
