Week 6

Wow!  It is already week 6 and Room 28 have been super busy the last couple of weeks.

Here are some of our fantastic activities.
Last week began with a Teddy Bears Picnic and we were super lucky to have Griffins Cookie Bear visit us.

Here we are with our Teddies.

Our teddies got a ride on a parachute.

We listened to Teddy stories.

We made Teddy fairy bread with Mrs D'Lima.

Picnic time!!

Great times.

We also made fairy bread for the letter Ff week.  First we buttered our bread.  Next we sprinkled on the sprinkles.  Then we cut it into halves or quarters.  Last we got to eat our fairy bread. YUM!!

To top our week off we went ice skating.

Cameron has got speed style.

Come on we'll skate together.

Careful balancing.

Ooop!!  Try again.

Brother and sister team.

Bubble catching.

Term 2 Week 2

Wow where is time going!!  We are already at the end of week 2 in Term 2.

This week we had the Matt and Andy show.  Here is what children from Room 28 said about the show.

There was Stinky land and Yummy land.

The show was about recycling.

The food scraps go into the food bin for the worms.  The worm gave hugs and hand shakes and he was hungry.  The guy Steven put the food scraps into the wring bin.  Only put onto your plate what you will eat so that we don't waste food.

This week we also planted Winter Veges in our garden.  We are looking forward to eating these once they grow.

Enviro Week

Room 28 had a fantastic time during enviro week learning how to sew.  Each child chose a picture to stitch around and then they ironed it onto a piece of calico.  They then used a needle and cotton to do a running stitch around the picture.  Over the weekend I (Miss Grant) took the pictures home to sew together to create a wall hanging.  We are very proud of our achievements!!!  I wonder where around the school we might find it hanging?

St Patrick's Day

This week we celebrated St Patrick's Day doing activities with Room 1 and Room 2.  We started the day with Jump Jam and which saw lots of children and teachers wearing green.

Here we all are in our Green looking forward to lots of fun activities for the day.

We iced cupcakes and put a rainbow on top for Good Luck.  The children couldn't wait to eat them.  We also wrote about 'I feel lucky when ....'  and put our writing onto a pot of gold.  We also made Shamrock men.  It was a FANTASTIC day!!

Measurement

This week was a quieter week.
We begun measurement and also looked at the artist Matisse who draws with scissors. Our artwork will be displayed soon.

Ngiculela is measuring the chair leg.  Cameron and Quentin measured the table.

The pencil is 9 blocks long.

Week 5

Happy Birthday Dr Seuss!!

On Monday it was Dr Seuss's birthday and we celebrated by dressing up and creating our own version of green eggs.

It is letter C week and we iced CUPCAKES!!

Marnei said "they are delicious!!"

week 4

Week 4 was the letter Jj week and we made jelly.  We had lime or orange flavour.
First we tipped the box of jelly chrystals into a bowl and then poured on a cup of boiling water.  We stirred it until the chrystals had dissolved and then poured in a cup of cold water.  Next it was poured into cups to put into the fridge over night for it to set.  The next day we got to it the wobbly jelly.

Jelly in a cup, jelly in a cup.
Wibble, wobble,
wibble, wobble.
Jelly in a cup!

This week we also had the wonderful experience of Whaea Trish teaching us.  She taught us a song in Maori and some Te Reo and told us a story.  We look forward to more learning with Whaea Trish throughout the year.
