Room 4 Friday 14 December

We has lots of time to play with different materials and show and talk about what we did.

Juliet , Brooklyn and Jamie constructed this lighthouse at the Basket of Paper Centre. They are talking about it to the class.

Jamie started it off and then Juliet and Brooklyn joined in.

We were very wet after walking to school coming back from Parnll Baths so changed into painting shirts! It was fun!

We are scary scarecrows.

Wrapper Free Lunch Wednesdays

Dear Parents

We are promoting litter free days at school. So we have decided that  we want no wrappers in our lunch boxes very Wednesday. 

Please can you pack our morning tea and lunches free of wrapped food. 

Thanks

Halloween Poetry

On Thursdays we love to write poems.
Our latest poem was about Halloween.
We collected our ideas together by brainstorming and wrote them all on a chart and then we looked at the suitable phrase or short sentences to put together into a poem.
Here is our poem.


Halloween 
Halloween is scary
Halloween creatures are terrifying
Vampires with bad breath and fangs
Witches with spells that go whizz
Scary witches on broomsticks

 Zombies out of graves
Zombies scare people 
Bats fly in the moonlight
Jack 'o Lantern light the sky
Were wolves  howl
Children scream
It's Halloween

Book Week

Margaret Mahy Book Week

Last week we celebrated Margaret Mahy. We had lots of activities to do. Authors came to share their work and read to us, our teachers read to different classes and at the end we had a book week parade.

For our parade we choose characters from one of Margaret Mahy's books. It was a great time and we had lots of fun finding dressing up things.

 

So thank you parents for helping us. Sid got the first prize and Jamie was runner up.

This is the bird catching tool.

We saw some beautiful cloaks. The one made with flax leaves was the most beautiful.

Room 4 went to the museum.

It was awesome said Jess.

The loved the shaking house best of all-  Stanislas

The was cool when it shook and the crash was awesome and the lights were about to turn off - Sid

It  was scary. It was very exciting when the ash hit the house - Keshav

We are finishing off with a haka.

Keshav's mummy is showing us how to wrap the rope.

 We learned how to drill holes in the wood. We had to wrap the rope around the stick and then pull out and in, out and in.

It was so much fun.

 This was the bird catcher tool. The stick was like a little branch and the Maoris covered it with leaves to trick the bird. The bird would sit on the branch and the bird catcher would pull the string and catch the bird.

Constable Cyrus is our new police officer. He came to teach us about how to be safe when crossing the road. He took us for a walk to practise our skills.
