Celebrations

This term we are learning about Celebrations. Here is our Brainstorm for what we could celebrate in Room 1.

We read a book about Grandpas birthday. Here is some writing that we did about what we would give  our Grandpa for his birthday.

 Verzhyn would give Grandpa a game 

 Terri would give Grandpa a scooter.

Dontay said, Happy Birthday Grandpa.

Continuing with our celebrations topic, We did some art that looks like birthday flags. Each child drew a picture on their flag and then were allowed to dye it any colours they wanted. Here are some pieces of our work. 

Here is a picture of what our Birthday flags look like on our Celebrations wall in our class.

Nature Writing

We went outside and looked for some natural things such as sticks, leaves, rocks and flowers. The kids had lots of fun trying to find things that they wanted to write about.






We then did some amazing writing about the things we found. Here is some amazing work from Jahna, I'olani and Elisiva.

Wai the Whale!

Wai the Whale came to our school to teach about water safety. She is a big killer whale and she taught about swimming with an adult and swimming between the flags when we are at the beach. 
Here is a picture of us with Wai the Whale!

Stepping out with Constable Taina

Over the past 2 weeks we have been doing lots of learning with constable Taina. We walked across the road and we got to practise putting our seatbelt on in the Police car.
We had to pull lots of the seatbelt then not let it go. Then we had to make it click!

Garth can do his seatbelt all by himself!

Leeanne made it click! 

I'olani can do her seatbelt all by herself!

Well done Siva!

Ralphina had to pull lots of seatbelt so it would reach.

Buddy time with Room 8

We made an Olympic ring chain with our buddy class to celebrate the Olympics!

BARK presentation

Today we had 2 ladies from BARK come and talk to us about how to keep safe around dogs.  She bought her dog Dyson and we heard him bark, he licked some of us, he smelt most of us and some of us got to pat him. We learnt lots of things and here are some of them:
