We are heroes...

Buddy Reading

Reading Response

 

After reading 'A Day in Town' by Joy Cowley N.S did a follow up activity putting the story into sequence using a picture walk. He needed to think of something that happened at the beginning, the middle and then the end and draw it. What an excellent effort!

See how far we have come...

We are learning the recorder with Mrs Jo every Monday. When we started we couldn't even hold the recorder properly but with a lot of hard work we are starting to get the hang of it. We are learning to play different notes along with some music. What do you think?

Our BEST Always...

Our J.H had a busy weekend

 

 

J.H and friends spent the weekend at the Soapbox derby! Looks like it was a lot of fun and a great way to spend time with friends and family. What do you like to do with your family?

...and the awards go to...

This week our lucky winners are D.B and A.E!

A.E is recieving the Special Terrific Persons Award as he is always working hard and to the BEST of his ability. His work is neat, well presented and always what is asked for! You are a dream student!

Our value this term is Courtesy and Manners and our very own D.B is a shining example of how this should be shown. She is never rude or pushy and always waits for others. She uses her manners consistently and is a delight to have in the room.

Well done guys :-)

Some of our BEST this week

 

Room 22 has many children who produce outstanding work all week long and here are a few of the best from this week. Please enjoy!

Friday Fun

 

 

The boys in room 22 are very creative and love to get out the blocks and other maths equipment to make intricate housing and farm blocks. They have awesome imaginations and when they work together (and stop squabbling over what goes where) they are able to create amazing things! Maybe we have future city designers among us.

 

Our favourite birthday

 

We have been writing about our favourite birthday. Once we had completed it we chose our most interesting part to publish and share with you. We have been very creative with our publihing and hope you enjoy them.  

A little bit of fun....

..and the awards go to...

This week our value is Courtesy and Manners and the person most demonstrating this was N.B. She is always polite, kind and uses her manners bauetifully which makes her an excellent member of the class.
Our Special Terrific Persons Award goes to S.B this week for continullay working to her BEST and producing wonderful work. She is such a hard worker and impresses Mrs Reid daily.

A great song for the start of the year...

Our cricket hero

 

WOW... our very own A.E is part of our school cricket team (which is mostly year 5/6 children) and has won the "Player of the Day" award from Mr K. What a fantastic achievement, I have also been told A.E has a lot of talent so watch for a future Black Cap in the making....

Our creative poems

Being a  good girl makes people proud, they want to shout "we like you" out loud.
Being a bad girl makes peope sad  but when you say sorry it makes them glad.
Treat others as you would like to be treated then you know your learning is completed! V.V

I don't listen but share, so everything is good from there. J.S

When I think I'm the boss everyone gets cross, when I keep my room clean I feel like the Queen. L.C

When I'm good I do what I should, but when I don't think my behaviour is stink. J.W

Sometimes I can be a mean green bean, sometimes I'm as nice as spice and you will find that I am kind. H.T-S

If you want to be good you do what you should, if you want to be bad you make others sad. M.B

I want to be good like Robin Hood, I don't want to be bad it makes me sad. O.S

When I am bad my mother gets mad, I am glad when no one is sad. S.B

I don't listen but share, so everything is good from there. J.S

Sometimes I'm happy and sometimes I'm sad
Sometimes I'm good and sometimes I'm bad
Sometimes I laugh and sometimes I cry
Sometimes it's impossible no matter how hard I try
All these emotions that other people see
I'm just being Joshua, I'm just being me! J.H

If I'm bad it makes others sad
If I'm good I'll get a reward
If I'm smart I'll get a smack
If I'm nice I'll get some friends
I won't be bad to dad
I'll be good to mum and dad
If I'm good I'll DO what I should
I'll get a job because I listen! J.Hi

I'm a friendly girl that's kind and nice but when I lie Mum turns to ice. M.v-d M

When I am bad it makes others sad but when I do what I should people see me as good! S.P

If I fight with my brother I am in trouble with my mother, I work as hard as I can as I want to be a clever man. H.D

I'm kind, loving and helpful
but sometimes I get angry like a bull
I respect people around me
I try to be the best I can be
I am friendly and polite
And always like to do
what is right. A.E

I argue with dad and that makes me sad, I tidy at school because that's the school rule. H.M

When I'm good and do what I should things go well for me, but when I'm mad it makes mum sad and I don't get ice cream for tea. N.B

I don't like homework, it's not much fun
It makes me angry and I'm mean to my mum
I like the field and I like to run
It makes me feel happy to play in the sun. N.S

When I'm bad I tease my brother, No T.V for a day says my mother. B.P

I be mean to my sister and I give her a blister but I do not swear but I can hear.... D.B

Our Amazing Class

 

Morning Fun Video

Morning Fun

 

 

Before school an enterprising bunch of Room 22's finest made the longest train track they could, weaving throughout our class. They have filmed the results for you to see....not a bad way to start the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to be our BEST

 

 

 

 

We discussed what we need to do so we can be our BEST in everything we do. We came up with lots of different ideas and then chose our favourite ones to go around a picture of ourselves in our uniform. We are going to try to read these every day to remind ourselves!
The most important idea we got from today is that of the magic learning word..."YET"... because if we cannot do something we need to remind ourselves that we cannot do it YET.

Room 22 Maths Group

 

Today in Maths we were looking at Statistics (graphs) and made one on our most popular eye colour. We all coloured our eyes correctly and then created a graph to show our findings. We all made tally marks on a sheet to help us count the amount easily. We looked at our graph afterwards and decided that Brown was the most popular colour. We also saw that Green was the least popular while Blue and Hazel had the same. Graphs are lots of fun!

And the certificate goes to...

Our first two up for a certificate and values leaf this week are our very own J.Hi and G.B.
 J has been given the Special Terrific Persons Award for settling in to room 22 and completing all of his work to his BEST which is an excellent effort for the start of the year.
G demonstrates our value of Courtesy and Manners every day and it makes her such a pleasure to have in the classroom!

Early morning visitors

 

Mrs Reid discovered these visitors outside this morning at 7am picking through our long jump pit. We are not sure what they are after although some birds do eat sand/grit to help them digest their food! What colourful parrots.... we are not sure if they are a native or intruders to NZ... we will keep our eyes open to see if we see them again.

Our Values Show....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have been looking at our school values this week. We have decided that you can tell when a person has these values by the way they act and how they look. Our values are a part of us like the colour of our skin. They make us who we are. Mrs Foot has come up with an excellent way of showing this by sketching half of our faces with the values written on it. They look AWESOME! We hope you like them to...
