Being creative with Room 11

Origami

On Friday afternoon in our buddy class time room 11 taught us how to make an origami fish.  It was lots of fun and we needed to use our thinking and observation powers to manipulate and fold the paper the right way.

Our buddies were awesome and supported us while we created and worked alongside them.

Book Week

Literacy is Fun!!

We have had a very busy week with lots of different literacy experiences.  We have had a visit from our local librarian.  The children really enjoyed listening and learning from her. We have been acting out our fairy tales in class and have spent lots of time with Rooms 2 and 3 reading and experiencing lots of different stories.  On Wednesday Papa Jarrod came to Room 3 and read to us in Maori.  Room 11 came and read stories to us and we also had fun acting out our stories with them too.  Today is the Book Parade and I am looking forward to seeing all the different costumes!!

Gymnastics

Learning New Physical Skills

This week has been a very exciting week for us.  As well as Book Week we have had lots of different learning opportunities.

Exploring gymnastic equipment through play has been an awesome opportunity.  The children will get more confident as we provide them with lots of different experiences.

Preparation for Book Week

Making Book Marks

Reading is so important to us all. We made special book marks to use in our reading next week to celebrate book week!

Exploring and experimenting with shapes

Maths is Fun!!

We have been learning about geometric shapes. We are learning names: circle, square, triangle, rectangle and hexagon. We are learning how to experiment with classification.

We are experimenting with geometric shapes to see what we can make.

Shapes are everywhere and form the basis of many every day items.
