Three Lunch Box Heroes

 This week Room 16 had three lunch box heroes who know what they need to have in their lunch box to have a healthy lunch.    For their rewards Meria chose some crackers and cheese, Elevina a tin of fruit salad and Elena chose a pineapple.  I hope you enjoyed your rewards with your whanau.

 

Thursday is Certificate Day

On the last Thursday of term we had a celebration of some of the amazing learning that Room 16 have been doing.  Eli got his certificate for some great maths thinking with fractions.  Cruze has been writing some stories I have enjoyed reading.  Elevina used a picture to write an amazing story about a boy riding his bike and she was able to write words by herself.  We also celebrated Pauliasi's birthday with a certificate.

   

Two Lunchbox Heroes

This week we had two lunchbox heroes drawn out of the box.  Joelle and Elevina had their names put in the box because they bring healthy lunches and they were the lucky winners.  Joelle chose a bunch of bananas and Elevina chose a box of Weetbix.

A Lucky Day For Elevina

It was a lucky day for Elevina when she received a Duffy Award and she also had her name drawn out of the Lunchbox heroes box.

Bubbles

On our return to school we talked about our home bubbles that we had been in with our families.  We drew our families inside a bubble and made colourful edges.  When we were outside blowing bubbles we noticed the rainbow colours on the edges of the bubbles.  We also saw how the bubbles popped when they touched each other so we are now in our school bubbles staying spaced out and not touching each other.

iPad Work

The children have been busy learning how to  duplicate on their iPads.  They remembered how to make a shape then they learnt how to go into the "i" tool and look for the letter "d" which is the initial letter of the word "duplicate" next to the little drawing of the two rectangles to make a second shape exactly the same.  It was great fun making lots of shapes.  

Rataimore was able to listen carefully and do the task

Elevina is happy with her duplicated shapes.

Painting

Painting a picture of ourselves and our families required  concentration.  Carnita, Rataimore and Elevina were enjoying painting their portraits.

Team One Certificates for Week 5 Term 1

At swimming all the children have made great progress and become more confident in the water.  It was very hard this week to choose just two children for certificates when they all have done so well but Elevina and Rataimore received the certificates for their swimming.

Learning How to Use Our iPads

We have had fun learning how to use some of the tools on our iPads by listening hard and following the instructions.  We learnt how to look after our iPads, take photos in Explain Everything, put them into a new document and then close the document when we have finished.  At first the children found it hard to take a good photo but with practise and patience they are now great at making sure what they are taking a photo of is in the middle of the screen.
