Room 11 Makes Seesaws

We are learning to measure.  We compared the weight of two objects on a seesaw that we made.  A big thank you to all the parents who sent in cans and cardboard lids for us to use.

We can now say which objects are heavier or lighter.

Book Character Day

Room 11 Celebrates Book Character Day

Book Character Day was so much fun!  We had lots of pictures taken, parades and some children even won prizes!  Watch our slide show to see how fabulous we looked.

We Loved Strike Percussion!

The drums were so loud!   We loved the fire. Our own Abigail was the star of the show!

Constable Doris Visits Room 11

Constable Doris visited us in our classroom.  We talked with her about good and bad behaviour as part of our peace and conflict unit.

We Love Our New Furniture!

MIchael and Moss use our new Activ Board.  We think it is great!

Campbell and his senior school writing buddy work on a piece of writing on the Activ Board.

The girls look very relaxed reading on our new bean bags.

Grandparents Day

We enjoyed a wonderful day with our Grandparents.  It was important for Room 11 to acknowledge that not everyone's grandparents could visit us, so we brought in photos of our grandparents that lived too far away to spend the day with us.  That way we could think of them and include them in the activities we undertook.  

We began by introducing ourselves and our grandparents in Te Reo.

Our warm up was a 'Who Am I?' activity as we demonstrated to our parents what is means to be unique.  We had a lot of fun and some of us had to be very brave and talk to people we did not know to find the answers to questions.

We then complete a Venn Diagram to find out what was different and what was the same between ourselves and our grandparents.

Lunch was a picnic under the teepee.  Then the grandparents stayed to read us a story before coming to assembly with us.

Thank you grandparents.  We had a great day!
