Week 7

This has been another great week in Room 22. 

The class has been busy involving themselves in cricket, wheels days, technology lunchtime challenges, kapa haka, enviro group and much much more.

Trips:

Our first trip was today. We walked down to the river. Looked at the environment and sketched what we could see. Thank you to the wonderful parents who helped and made the trip possible. Thank you to all students for being prepared with good walking shoes and lunches.

Next Friday is our second trip. Thank you to all parents who put down their names to help. If you put your name down we look forward to seeing you all. please remember good walking shoes is a must.

This week we have been working on-

*Writing- using the 5 senses as a way to add detail to writing as well as varying sentences beginnings by using action, sound, speech or description.

*Reading- answering a newspaper about plants- using careful reading and checking answers make sense as well as reading for information and note taking using bullet points

*Maths- problem solving and place value.

*Art- pressed flowers presented into small art works, sketching and starting a large flower crayon, chalk and dye piece.

*PE- tennis skills- bouncing, hitting, how to hold racket, hitting a ball over the net so it lands in the court.

 

We have continued with our focus on plants. Flowers is our focus this term and into next. Small groups are going out to cut and learn about flowers. So far in class we have learnt to use flowers to press and create art, dry- hanging up side down and create into bunches along with additional leaves etc. Everyone is enjoying this.

We are also growing daffodils.

Reminders:

Next week-

*bring homework challenges in when completed so you can share them.

*Trip Friday

*Movin March continuing

*Students please bring your homework notebook on Friday (a few keep forgetting which makes it difficult to test,  record new words and stick in maths homework)

*Note- so sorry my fabulous 2ic's have been working hard on work to put onto the blog but I am unable to put up photos for some reason. I am trying to have problem fixed. As soon as is fixed will put up everyone's fabulous work.

have a great weekend
