International Day

Look at us all dressed up in our country's colours!  We are so lucky to have such a multicultural classroom and school.  It has been lovely having our sister school visitors from Japan here this week too.  Don't they look amazing?!

Toy Making

As part of our technology unit, we have been investigating toys and how they have changed over time.  Today everyone chose a toy that they would like to make at school.  We had:

* Silly Putty
* Shoe box houses
* Tic Tac Toe made out of painted stones
* Flour stress balls
* Finger Puppets

A huge thank you to Kate our amazing teacher aide and Anashai who comes in to help out each Tuesday.  It was messy but fun!

Ariana B's Presentation about The Tītī Islands

Ariana visits the Tītī Islands every year with her whānau. Everyone has to work hard while they are there, and Ariana's favourite job is de-waxing the birds. The children in Room 10 were very interested to learn about what happens on the Tītī Islands.

Making Marshmellow Catapults with Evie

Today as part of our homework sharing time, Evie taught the class to make marshmellow catapults.  She brought all the supplies and step by step demonstrated how to make them.  Thank you Evie - everyone enjoyed this so much!

Farewell to Wendy

Today we farewelled Wendy with a shared lunch.  She has been in Room 10 for four months and is now heading back to China.  All the best Wendy - we have loved having you in Room 10.

Octacan

Room 10 managed to collect 55 cans for Octacan!  What compassionate people we have in our classroom.

Magnificent Music Playing

We have been learning about notation for music.  Here is us playing the glockenspiel to some songs - prepare to be impressed!
