Week 2...What has been happening?

For this entry we thought that we would share some of the different events that have been happening in Room 1 this week. 

We are very excited to have Isha and Sophie join our class.

We now have 9 girls and 9 boys.

Here are some of this week's adventures...

In April we visited Ms Dillon-Roberts in her office to ask if we could have an ipad. She had let us use her ipad from home and we loved all the different games and activities. We really enjoyed listening to her cool music.Ms D-R said that she would try and get us one this year. We gave her our best smiles!

You can imagine how excited we were when on Tuesday she arrived with our new ipad. We have used it every day since.

Isha's Mum and Dad bought a cake to school so that we could celebrate Isha being a big school girl.

On Wednesday we made traffic light sandwiches for cafe time. We had tomato for the red light, cheese for the amber light and lettuce for the green light. Jonathan was not keen to try the tomato but when he did he said it was delicious.

Bobby always has lovely manners when he visits the cafe. Come again Bobby!

At maths time we are looking at shapes. Sophie made a square out of wine gums and toothpicks.

Luciano and Jessica made a triangle and then a square. Their group counted the corners and the sides.

On Thursday our pupil council children organised a pyjama day. We found them very comfortable.

Mrs Bull showed us some photos she took on her trip to the 

Boltic. She has many photos of castles and people in  their

national costumes.

A.J. received a Values Certificate for having a  'Creative Mind.' He always asks interesting questions.

On Friday we had an 'Earthquake Drill.' We practised getting into a turtle. Room 1 children then line up and walk out to the back field.

At Discovery Time we went and picked broccoli from our Whetu Gardens.

We washed the broccoli and then we tried a piece. Sophie said it was very crunchy.

Dylan tried his broccoli with onion dip. He said it was the first time that he has ever eaten broccoli and liked it!

At Assembly on Friday Will got his first 'Good Work Certificate.' He has learnt all his first 5 reading words. Great job Will!

Friday afternoon we tried an experiment with pipe cleaners and a magnet. Samantha could make the pipe cleaners move up and down. We have put the equipment on our Science table. Come and have a try!
