Multi Sport

To wrap up our large ball skills PE unit, we had a game of multi sport. Using all the skills we learnt in the different rotations over the term we played touch rugby, soccer, netball and basketball.
Lots of us hadn't played multi sport before but we thoroughly enjoyed the new game!

Room 4 in Pyjamas

Room 4 are already enjoying a very exciting and fun filled pyjama day! However, they did think just because they were wearing their pjs, they were going to have a nap! They were devastated to learn that their sleep was to be rudely interrupted by writing! Ka pai room 4, you are looking fab!

             

Interhouse Quiz

We had an awesome time competing in an interhouse quiz yesterday afternoon. We were mixed up with kids from rooms 5 and 6 and played 6 different categories! There was certainly lots of fun happening as well as some great thinking and working together! Thank you to Miss Simpson and the room 6 kids for organising such an awesome event!

Ocean Zone Group Research

This term, room 4 has been learning all about the different ocean zones. In our literacy groups, we researched all about each zone, what lives there, how big it is and what kind of temperature it is.
The zones are called the Epipelagic zone, Mesopelagic zone, Bathypelagic zone, Abssopelagic zone and Hadalpelagic zone. These zones all have nicknames making their technical names much easier to remember. We put our research together into a powerpoint and presented them to our class.

                              

                             
                             
                             
                             

Ocean Research!!

We are well under way with our ocean research projects. We are putting to use the skills we have learnt - note making and note taking, summarising in our own words, highlighting key words and important information. We are starting to present our information, ready for presentations to our class next week. 

                                  

Affirmation success

Each week the children identify and record when they see someone else being a good friend or a good learner. On a Friday we share and celebrate the wonderful things each other have done in the week. 

Here is a photo of this weeks wonderful students who have been spotted by their peers!

Ka pai you people. Your affirmations are now in your kit books for you to share with others! 

Waiata with actions!

We have loads of fun in room 4 singing and performing waiata!! Ka Pai Room 4 you guys look and sound great!

Celebrating and sharing writing!

We have just finished publishing our descriptions of our fish. They are such awesome pieces of writing full of adjectives and exciting language features! We celebrated and shared our writing with our learning buddies. We thought some peoples writing were galleries!

PJ AND BURGER DAY!

Basketball with Miss Jeynes

Basketball with Miss Jeynes was loads of fun. We leant passing and dribbling techniques. We had a go at shooting hoops and played a pretty fun game! Thanks Miss Jeynes

Building buddy class relationships

Earlier this term, room 4 began circle time as a way to focus on our key competencies and building relationships within our class. Today it was really enjoyable to be able to share some of the fun and exciting activities we have learnt in circle time with our little buddies. We all had such a great time, laughing, problem solving and thinking together. Thanks for an awesome afternoon room 7!

Senior Winter Sport Rotation

Yesterday we got under way with our senior winter sport rotation. We started off with soccer. We learnt how to pass and stop a ball, dribble the ball with our feet as we move, and we even did some goal shooting. We ended a great session with a fun game of soccer where we were able to put soem of our skills to the test! 

Pirate Day!

As part of Our Oceans inquiry unit there has been some learning around pirates so we all dressed up as pirates! It was awesome to see everyone make such a huge effort with their costumes and boy did everyone look great! We designed our own pirate flags, created treasure maps and solved pirate puzzles as part of a whole school buddy activity. It was fun working with lots of different kids!

We had a really fun pirate day!

Wheely Wonderful Wheeling

WOW!! We had a super day wheeling around!!! The weather was eventually kind to us allowing us to finally get out and have some fun. There were a few crashes but most got up with a smile on their face and carried on. We all had a wheely good time and cannot wait for wheels day again next year. Check out our action shots!

Under the ocean art

Last week we created under the ocean art as part of our oceans inquiry unit. We shared our pieces of art in assembly.
Our art turned our really cool. We used paintbrushes, sponges and even our fingers. They are all super colourful and bright and we are really proud of them.

Successful Circle Time

On Tuesday, Mrs Harris came and taught us how to learn without any books or pens. We learnt about circle time where we use the most powerful computer in the world..... OUR BRAIN!

We are going to be participating in circle time each week, this term, to learn and engage with our values (AAA) and practice our key competencies.

Some of the things we learnt were that you don't always need to speak with words to communicate, there is many different ways to find a partner e.g. finding the other half to a post card, and we learnt different ways to greet each other without speaking. We certainly enjoyed rubbing elbows to say hello.

We enjoyed learning valuable skills through playing multiple games, making silent statements, playing a name game and noticing other peoples successes throughout the session.

We are looking forward to circle time, next week!!

Upcoming Events

Look out everyone!!! We have exciting events coming up FAST!!!!! It is the student council's pleasure to inform you of 2 very CRAZY, COOL days!!
