Happy Easter from Room 13

 Happy Easter Whanau!

We hope you have a safe and happy holiday.

We had an awesome day today celebrating the upcoming holiday.

First we had a visit from a real life easter bunny.  Mrs Forbes brought in her bunny Jojo to meet the class. We learnt about what he likes to eat, where he likes to sleep and how he goes for a walk.  Everyone got to give him a pat or brush his fur.  Rawiri said he was soft and fluffy.  Nathanael said he like to eat apple and lettuce.

Thank you Mrs Forbes. We Love Jojo.

Then we wrote stories about Jojo and made rabbit puppets.

P is for Pizza

On friday we made Pizza.

We were able to choose our own yummy toppings and eat it for morning tea.  Yum.

Today we wrote a poem about Pizza.  

We thought about how it smelt, how it looked and how it tasted!

We learnt about rhyme.  We know that words which sound the same at the end are rhyming words.

iPad's make maths fun.

Today we used ipads to practise writing numbers.  We used the Explain Everything app to write and take photos of our favourite numbers.

Jackson's favourite number is 1000.  Wow Jackson that is a big number!

Connor's favourite number is 2.  

He changed the colour on the EE pen so he could write 2 in the same colour as his plastic number.

Device noho - ipad sleepover

Today we got to take home our school ipads so we could practise using them for e-learning.  It was miharo to see all of our friends online after school. 

We talked about how to be cyber-smart and how to look after our ipads.  Check out the Kawa of Care slideshow from our meet today.

Tiaki Taonga - We cherish our treasures

In Rooms 13 and 17 we have been thinking about who we are, and all the things and people we treasure.  

We have created self-portraits with crayon and paint.   We also shared what are treasures to us.  Our art shows that even though we are all different we are all special and amazing in our own ways.

Meet The Teacher day

 Today was Meet the Teacher afternoon and our whanau got to come into school to see all the cool things we have been doing.

We made cards to say thank you for coming in and to tell our parents what we like to do at school.
