Creating with clay

 This term Room 13 have been having heaps of fun creating with clay.  Mr Vogt has transformed maker space into a sculpture studio.  We love how it feels to manipulate the clay and make our own creations.

Thanks Mr Vogt for giving us such a cool learning experience.

Learning to read with letter sounds.

 We have been learning letter sounds using some really fun games and we have been using these letter sounds to read books.

On Tuesday we played a game of Letter Pp treasure hunt.  We were able to find lots of things in our classroom which start with the letter P.

Fun at Kelly sport

T-Ball is a fun game that is like softball.  We have been learning new ball skills to help us play the game.

Coach Chelsea has been teaching us to catch a small ball, and swing the bat.  

The ball sits on the T and then we swing the bat and hit the ball.  First Samuel did a great job hitting the ball!

We love sport with Coach Chelsea.

PENN movie term 3

 We are so proud of our happy collage we decided to make a movie to show everyone how we made it.

Today our movie was on PENN and the whole school got to watch it.  We were very proud to see ourselves on TV.

You can watch our movie here.  We hope you like it.

I'm H-A-P-P-Y!

 This term we are learning all about emotions.  We have learnt that there are lots of ways to feel happy.

There are lots of words to describe the different ways we can feel when we are happy.  We have learnt some of them.   We made a happy sun collage because we think that yellow is a happy colour. 

Kia Orana - Cook Islands language week

This week we have been celebrating Cook Islands language week by singing lots of Cook Islands songs and dances.  We got to see the Cook Islands dancers at assembly this morning and that inspired us to create our own beautiful 'ei katu.

Life Education - Harold the Giraffe

 This week we have been so excited to visit with Harold the Giraffe in the Life Education caravan.

Harold and Sylvia taught us about being healthy and happy.  Harold showed us a movie about his trip to the park with his friends.  Harold and his friends are kind to each other and help each other to feel happy.

In Room 13 we are all friends and we are able to help each other to feel happy too.
