Masks for the production

We are practicing hard for our school production to be held at the end of this term. Our Year 1 and 2 students will be presenting ''Captain Noah and his Floating Zoo.'
Here they are with the animal masks they've created.

Seasons and the Weather

The students in Room 4 is learning about 'Change'.  We are looking at the four seasons and how the weather changes with each season.

Today, Khorus brought his weather station to class. His mum came to help him build it. She asked him to tell the other students how much rain they measured last Saturday night. It was too much for his weather station to hold and the water overflowed!

Thank you, Leann for joining our class with your son.  It was great having you with us!

Spider Weaving

With our art teacher, Whaea Jude the students in Room 4 have been learning

• About why we weave
• To use weaving words: fibre, wool, weave, over, under, up, down and across
• To find woven objects
• To 'spider weave' and 'people weave'

Exploring Position - Where is the spot?

Room 4 is learning to describe the position of objects, using words like on, over, beside, inside, outside, behind, in, under, in front of, middle, next to, on top, before, between and after.

First, we've practiced giving directions to their learning buddies (which included giving directions to show a quarter and half turn) and they explored some of the learning activities on our class wiki independently.

Working with their buddy, they then used our 'zoo maps' to practice giving and following directions. They had to check if they both got to the same spot after following their buddy's directions.

They also used the Beebot to learn how to programme him to go to the letter they've pulled out of the container. 

Move it - Move it

Our class are doing Move it this term. We are learning things like landing, stopping, bending, stretching and balancing. It is actually about gymnastics. We kind of like learning things about gymnastics.
