Week 8 by Caleb and Yishay

  This week we have a new Maori 'word of the week'  in room seven it is 'poitarawhiti' which means netball.



We do discovery every Monday and Friday. We get out equipment that we want to play with like straws and connectors, blocks and we get to use chalk outside.


 
We have started doing Jump Jam in the mornings. It is songs that have actions that we watch and copy and dance.



Our favourite song is 'Who Let  the Dogs Out' or 'Freaks'.

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's been a while...

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

Week 6 by Sophia and Ruby (and Mrs Bibby)

Mrs Bibby belongs to a Year 3/4 Teaching group on Facebook. Recently one of the other members asked if anyone would be interested in writing letters to her class in Leicester, England. Mrs Bibby thought it would be good to do some learning about other cultures from other countries as well as learning about the cultures we have in our own classroom. She put Room 7 down and waited... We think the class voted on who to write to and they chose US! We were excited when we received the letters through Mrs Bibby's email address. We had them printed off and we have read them.  We have started gathering our ideas about what to write back and are trying to answer the questions they have asked as well.                                                                                                                                                                   We have even had a look at their school on Google Maps and discovered that they don't have any gr
