Duffy Certificate Winners

Heilala has set herself a goal of getting up on to blue level in reading and she has been finishing off all her Explain Everything reading activities to make sure she practises what she has learnt.  She was this weeks Room 16 winner of the Duffy certificate and chose the book about Little Why.  We all enjoyed sharing this book and joined in the reading aloud of it.  Keep up the good work Heilala.

Bentley collected his certificate from August when he was away.  He has been finding new words to use in his amazing story writing.  He also shared his book about the Little Yellow Digger and the children liked trying to guess what the next rhyming words would be at the end of each line.

Disco Dancing

Teams one to four had a Junior Disco at lunchtime.  The children enjoyed dancing and having fun competitions to find the best dancers.  Alarmanda and Maria enjoyed watching the dancers.

Gardening

In Makerspace the children have been doing gardening with Mr Vogt.  The children have enjoyed it so much that we have planted some seeds in our class so we can watch their growth.

The Seniors Lend a Helping Hand.

Today three girls from Team 5 came to lend a helping hand in Room 16.  The younger children enjoyed having someone to help them play some maths games and finish off an art project.  Thank you Olivia, Yvonne and Vinolia for your help

Guardians Of The Galaxy

Our Inquiry topic has inspired the children to think about space travel and what rockets that travel between planets might look like.  Abbey, Talanoa and Jaycob have used Hyper Studio to draw their ideas.

Talanoa's Story

We read the story about Oscar and his best friend Quincy the dog.   They moved to a new neighbourhood and Oscar found it hard to make new friends at school and Quincy found that no one wanted a new dog friend until Quincy has a great idea on how to solve their problem.

Talanoa wrote his story about the two best friends.
