Eli's New Hair Cut

 Eli was proudly sporting a new very stylish haircut at school and wanted to have a photo of it.  

 

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.

   

Eli's Duffy Certificate

 Eli received a Duffy Certificate.  He has been putting some effort into his work.

More of Eli's Home Learning

Eli joined one of our class hangouts and showed me some of the things he has been busy doing. As we have started to talk about volcanos Eli found a picture to colour in.  He made the erupting volcano look very realistic using lots of red for the lava.  Eli also showed me a picture of an elf that he coloured in and cut out.  Good work on the colouring Eli.  You are trying to get it a nice dark colour and you stayed in the lines.  Thank you for the picture.  Another thing Eli has been doing is practising riding his bike with no trainer wheels.  When we are back at school you will be able to ride a bike during the lunchtime with your friends.

Eli's Home Learning

Eli has been on line again during the class and team one hangouts.  He showed me some of the things he has been busy doing.  His fish have got a new pretend big fish watching them swim as Eli drew them a new friend and put it behind the fish tank.  I also met Eli's dog on line and Eli's favourite toy.  He has been cooking and he showed me the recipe he used to make a berry smoothie.  It sounded yummy and healthy.  Great work, Eli.

Literacy Learning Activities

When the children have finished their reading and writing activities they are able to chose a literacy activity.  Joelle and Bavin chose to recognise and match up some high frequency words while Eli and Samson chose to say the letter sound and find a matching letter.

We Like Reading

Sitting outside reading a favourite book in the shade was a great way to fill in time while waiting for others to get ready for swimming.

Eli, Meria and Joelle love to read in the shade.

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.
