Tupou Is Practising His Words

Tupou has been practising the words from his level by finding the letters and putting them underneath the magnetic words.  Good work Tupou.  You are this weeks Duffy Certificate winner from Room 16 for the effort you are putting in to learn your words.

Tunnel Fun At Kiwisport

Making a tunnel for everyone to crawl through at Kiwisport was great fun.  The children enjoyed joining the tunnel together then one by one having a turn to crawl into the tunnel and keep on going to the end.

Samson emerges from the long tunnel.

A Little Red Digger At School

The children enjoy the "Little Yellow Digger" stories so they were very excited to notice a little red digger working out in the playground.  We watched it scoop up dirt and take it over to a muddy patch on the other side of the playground with Mr Shaw driving it. 

"It is just like in the book "The Little Yellow Digger goes to School " but the "Little Red Digger" isn't building us a swimming pool," said Samson. 

You were right Samson the digger wasn't making a swimming pool but hopefully the muddy patch won't be so muddy when it stops raining.

Finding Out About Simple Machines.

Room 16 has been learning about simple machines and how they help us do a variety of activities.  We found that simple machines help us do many tasks each day from preparing and eating food, playing on a seesaw or with a bat, building with tools and screws to digging in the garden and riding our bikes.  The list is endless.  Simple machines make our life easier.
