Welcome to Term 3 - Art Works

 Room 13 are so happy to back at school.  This term we are learning all about art and how we can express our emotions through our art.  We are going to have a lot of fun in term 3.

Here is Katana in our Art Gallery which is full of famous art works from all around the world.  She is being a work of art!  You look amazing Katana!

Programming Bee Bots

Today was fun in Room 13!  We all had a turn at programming the Bee-bots. 

First we learnt about the buttons on the Beebot.  Then everyone had a turn choosing a square for the Beebot to go to.  Then we thought about the direction and counted the squares our Bee-bot had to move to get to the right place.

Disco for Ukraine

Today we had a disco to raise money for the children of Ukraine.  

At lunchtime we got to dance and have fun under te kapua.  Johnny was doing some awesome dance moves with his brother!

We wore yellow and blue because they are the colours of the Ukrainian flag.

Matariki funday

 This year we have celebrated Matariki with a day of art, fun and shared kai.  We started the day with a school assembly and performance from our senior kapa haka team.

Then all the Team 1 classes came together to do some fun art activities.  Some of us made hats, some of us made lanterns, some of us made paintings, and some of us made kites.

We had a matariki picnic for lunch with all the team 1 classes.  In the afternoon we made a collaborative display of the matariki stars.  

Soccer with Coach Tray.

 In Room 13 we have been learning soccer skills this term.  We have learnt how to kick the ball with the inside of our feet.  We have learnt to dribble the ball to each other and how to do throw in.

Coach Tray has taught us lots of good skills and we have had lots of fun.

We know the korero

 This term our PENN movie is all about our terms korero.  In team one we learn the prefects korero by having a quiz everyday during our team assembly.  We thought we would like to share our korero with everyone in a movie.  We hope you like it.

Using NZSL to learn phonics

 In Room 13 we are lucky to have Miss Hockly teaching us the sign language for each of the letters we are learning.  This is helping us to learn to read and write.

Every day we sing our alphabet song to learn the letter names, sounds and signs.
