Week 7 by Chelsea and Mei

We learn a Maori word every week and we name it the 'Word of the Week'. This weeks Maori word is 'heihei it means chicken. Room 7 makes sentences with the word of the week this can be one of the sentences Apopo the pahi will fly up to the rangi, engari the awa will be to flooded for the pahi to drive and the heihei will have to swim. All the word of the weeks are, apopo it means tomorrow, pahi it means bus, rangi it means sky, engari it means but and awa it means river. We keep the word of the week on the whiteboard and if you come in room seven you will see the word of the week.








We are learning about Dick Frizzell art works and we have coloured our own and they look stunning. If you come in our classroom you will see them on the wall. We did two and one was hot colours and the other one was cool colours. Under all of our art works we placed our signature to know which one is ours and Dick Frizzell put his signature that's why we did our signature under our art works as well. 




In our class room we have plants, we water them and we care about the plants. The small Cactus is called Parodia, the big Cactus is called Cleistocactus, the green leave Cactus is called Echeveria and the other plants we don't know their names. The big plants have grown much bigger. We are going to measure them and keep track of how much they grow.

Every Friday, Room 14 does Math's Problem Solving. Last weeks challenge was that the children had to make a paper tower that held a tennis ball. It was an interesting exercise with lots of outbursts of frustration!! However, the children persevered, trying new ways and listening well to each others thoughts. They worked in small groups so they were building on their cooperative skills as well.  You're not holding the tennis ball on are your Braedyn?? The learning tower of Mairehau?? Good thinking guys. You took one storey off and hey presto, your tower held up the tennis ball. Ka pai!!

It has been a while since Room 7 posted anything so we have decided to write a post as a class and bring you up to date with all the exciting things that have been happening in our room and in the Year 3/4 team since we last wrote. This term we have had 2 people join our class, Jack H. from Australia and Zara W. from Huntly. During Maths, we have been using our Numicon equipment to help us gain a better understanding of numbers and how they work. It is really cool and lots of fun to use. On a Wednesday afternoon have started a rotation between the Year 3/4 classes. All the teachers are taking a different activity. We spend two weeks having fun with a teacher before moving on to the next class.  In Room 4 Mrs Martin takes Yoga. In Room 14, Mrs Layton takes directed Art activities. Mr White is taking STEM activities in Room 5, these include using Beebots, drones and the iPads. Mr Oliver, in Room 6 is taking Science based activities and in Room 7 Mrs Bibby

Bria's Dad, Peter, came in during the last week of term to read a story to us that he has written, we all thought it was really funny and hope that he does well and manages to get it published.  On the Tuesday of the last week we had an oppo
