Back to routine..

Production

After our busy week we are back to our normal routine! Last week was full of production, production, production! Miss Rowe and all our parents were so proud of us! We danced, sung and acted so well! 

Halloween

Yesterday was Halloween! We read lots of Halloween poems and made some Halloween ghosts. They tasted YUMMY! After we made our white, scary, eatable ghosts we had to write down the ingredients and instructions so that somebody could make them that didn't know how. This is what they turned out like…

Hanawiti (sandwiches)

We have been learning lots of Maori words and phrases in MR class. Yesterday we made hanawiti (sandwiches) but we were only allowed to talk in Maori!!! We got to choose what we wanted in our sandwich and our options were ham (mīti),  lettuce (rētihi), cheese (tīhi) and tomato. We also had to know the words plate (pereti), knife (naihi), butter (pata) and bread (parāoa).  We had to tell Miss Rowe what we wanted by saying Homai te.. (pass the) and then we would say the ingredient! We all did extremely well and were so confident! Maybe you could try making a hanawiti at home!

Marble Jar

MR class filled up their marble jar! Wohooo! For our reward we asked if we could have a play on the senior playground! This was very special. Here are some of the pictures.

Grandparents Day!

We had grandparents day on Wednesday. We were so lucky to have Chamae and Mason’s grandparents come in. We asked them lots of questions about what it was like at school when they were seven years old. We learnt lots and noticed that it was so different to our school.. They didn't have computers and IPads! We quite like the way school is now- we are pretty lucky!!!

Jewellery

Today Sophie had some very special news. Her mum let her borrow some of her jewellery making set. Miss Rowe and Sophie had a challenge to see who could make the nicest necklace. Sophie was an expert but they both turned out very awesome! We have some very clever kids in our class!

Have a great weekend!!! :-)

Welcome back for Term Four!!

New Things in the Classroom...

We had a very busy Term Three and we have an even busier Term Four! We have some new things in our classroom for this term. We have some new "editing cups." These cups are to help us with our writing. After we finish our work we look at the sticks in the cups to make sure that we have checked all our work! We also have have some new things on the window! This is to help us with our narrative writing.. We are such great authors! These signs just give us lots of ideas.. Take a look!

We also have a BIG new pencil on the wall! This is to help us with our pencil grip.. If we have really good grip we get our own little peg up on the pencil! At the end of the week we get a sticker... We are all trying really hard to get up there! Four of us managed to get up on the wall today! Congratulations to Ryan, Ruby, Shaun and Leo! 

Using Ipads in the classroom..

We have been using Ipads during reading time in MR class. We listen to lots of stories on the Ipads. We plug in the headphones so that we can choose our own story. We know how to choose our stories and shut down all the apps afterwards. What a clever bunch of kids we are!! 

Decorating Biscuits..

On the last day of Term Three we got to decorate biscuits with icing and jellybeans! Our biscuits looked so awesome at the end and we had a GREAT time making them. The best part was getting to eat them afterwards.. Om Nom Nom!
