Keeping Ourselves Safe Movies

We have been making movies of "How to keep safe crossing the road and driving."

Enjoy!!!

Jorja's sailing story

Splash went the sail boats sailing across the sea.  Suddenly they tipped over - oh no!  Lucky they were back on the water again.  Go Team New Zealand!!

Jorja and Jazmine on the Glocs

Jorja and Jazmine can play Hot Cross Buns on the glocs.  

Now they are going to teach others.

Go Girls!!!!

Your Body

Jorja wants to be a doctor when she grows up. She investigated parts of the body and how the blood system works. This is the end result of her hard work. Doesn't it look fantastic!

Our writing challenge

As part of our writing programme today's challenge was to write a story that was longer than you!  Well done to everyone for working hard and having with writing.  It was great to see the change from the initial "I can't do that!"  to the realisation they could and did.  Fantastic.

Room 0

Jorja is writing the sounds that Jessie puts up on the big whiteboard. 

 Welcome to Room 0. It is a small room off the main learning center that is set up like a mini classroom. The children teach each other as if they were in their own classroom. They take on the role of student or teacher and work together to improve their own learning. This is a choice activity and is very popular by many children.

The girls look on as they wait for Jessie to write up the lesson for them. 

Thinking - thinking. 

The teacher is managing her class very well. They are all focused, engaged and on task. Great work Jessie. Super learning done by all. 

Shape

Pod 2 are learning all about 2D and 3D shapes.  We are learning to sort shapes, describe them and find out how many sides and corners they have.  One way to help us to do this is to make shapes, this can be with clay, rods, straws, geoboards and rubber bands, drawing them etc.  Here are some examples of some of our independent work last week.

 Monty and Myles comparing their triangles on the geoboards.

 Olive and Caitlin drawing shapes in their investigation books.

 Hunter and Jorja making shapes on the geoboards.

 Here is Sebbie's cylinder he created using 2d shapes - great thinking!

Kahlarni and Fletcher with some of the shapes they made using rods, they made a number of hexagons using 6 rods.
