Keegan shared his current events about a gas leak in Central Christchurch, a large storm in the North Island and the space agency that launched a rocket which blew up.

Ruger taught the children of Room 1 about why we have labour day. The children were shocked that adults used to work more than 8 hours a day.  

Room 1 were very impressed with our current event tellers.

Tyler, Ashlyn and Toby

Wow! What super book reviewers! Tyler shared a great story about a tractor. He gave his story a 10/10 and sumamrised the story to all of the children. 

Ashlyn confidently read  and had the children laughing at her funny story about a colourful dog. She also gave her story a 10/10. 

Toby used lots of expression to share his story about a duckling, pigeon and a cookie. He gave his book a 10/10 aswell!

Well done Tyler, Ashlyn and Toby! You all did a fantastic job!

Hamish and Ryan- Current Events

Hamish and Ryan shared their current events with Room 1 this week. Hamish shared what he had learned about Diwali- Indian festival of lights and Ryan shared what he had learned about our Prime Minister wanting to change the New Zealand flag. 

Lucas and Jack did a fabulous job today with their book review. They introduced their books (title and author), summarise what happened and gave it a rating out of 10 (10/10 for both!). Well done Lucas and Jack!

Sport with Sheree

We really enjoy our sports sessions with Sheree.  In these photos we are working on our underarm and overarm throws!  Everyone in Room 1 did really well with the activities - we all managed to throw our bean bags into hoops!

                                      

The Beasties

The Beasties have visited Room 1 and Room 2!  They left some treasures to help us with our writing.  We worked really hard to think about the characters in our story, the setting of our story and we used our imagination to write about why we were given a treasure.  We wrote some amazing stories!

    

                 

Ruger the Magician

Today in Room 1 Ruger the Magician came to visit with his assistant Haley. He amazed Room 1 with his tricky card trick. All of the children were so impressed. Keegan and Ryan wanted to know how the trick

worked. Ruger said, "magicians never reveal their secrets!"

WOW! Discovery time was very exciting in Room 1 today! We had Science experiments, cars and chalk, train tracks, colouring, making gliders, finger painting, drawing, lego and much more!

The children worked together and self managed. Well done Room 1!

A Quick Visit to Japan

We got to visit Japan this morning...without leaving our classroom!  Hamish is currently in Japan so we got to learn about and have a go at video calling on Skype.  It was exciting to be able to see him and speak to him even though he is so far away.  We learned about where he is staying, the food he is eating, the weather and the exciting things he has been up to!

Autumn Fun

We have been learning about Autumn and having lots of fun at the same time!

Magnificent Musical Mr Mould

We are thoroughly enjoying having Mr Mould working with us in our learning space.  Mr Mould has been teaching us how to play the ukulele.  He has also taken the ukulele to our team singing sessions so we have been able to sing along while he plays.
