Black Friday

Today we all came to school wearing black to show our support for the All Blacks. We made signs and put them on the front fence. We hope the All Blacks win the world cup!

Football Fun

We are having a football session every Wednesday afternoon for the next 5 weeks. We look forward to learning some new skills.

Sock Puppets

We have been practicing reading our poems at a good speed. Here are sock puppets we created using an app on the IPad to hear what we sounded like.

Our new IPad

We are very lucky to have an ipad in our class to use.  We have written penguin stories then coloured in a special picture and used the quiver app to make 3D penguins. We have also used the sock puppets app to practice reading our poems out loud and at a good speed.

Pirate Fun with Mrs Palmer

While Miss Nation was away on camp with Room 15 we had lots of fun being pirates - check out our pictures!

Life Education

We had a lovely time visiting Harold the Giraffe in his truck. We learnt lots about the brain. We learnt that the brain controls everything in the body. It makes our hearts beat and our lungs breathe. We had to put together a puzzle of the brain but it was a bit tricky because we had to to it in mad scientist lighting - (red light).
