Happy Father's Day

This week we have been learning about similes. We have written some great poems about our Dads.

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Dads from Room 21

Fathers Day Breakfast

What a way to start our Friday morning!

Today we met with our Buddy Class Room 1 to practise our Enviro Waita for our special Green-Gold Assembly coming up shortly. Thanks Room 1 for helping us learn the song.

Enviro lessons with Mrs Daniel

Today we begun our Enviro lessons for this term with Mrs Daniel. We will meet with her every Wednesday until the end of  term.

She was most impressed with our naked lunches! 

Next week we are going to make 'packet monster' posters. Mrs Daniel has asked if every child could bring in 1 x empty packet for our posters. 

Mandarin lessons

On Monday we had a Mandarin lesson with Vio. She reminded us of how to greet one another in Mandarin and we learnt about the different colours.

Thanks Vio for helping us to extend our learning.

Congratulations Tom and Daniel

Congratulations Tom and Daniel on earning a certificate this week at Assembly.

A Big Thank You

A very big Thank You to Nayla, Chloe, Hayley and Dilan who helped at the 'Working Bee' on Sunday. I loved your enthusiasm and offering your service to the school. 

You truly did "SHINE"

NZ Maths Week

For NZ Maths Week Mrs Madden set up a great activity for each class to guess 'How many lollies in the Jar?'

Today for maths we used our problem solving skills, estimation and knowledge on volume and capacity to try and guess how many lollies there are.

Fingers crossed we have guessed the correct answer. We will find out on Friday at assembly if our guess is correct.

NZ Maths Week

In Room 21 we are celebrating NZ Maths Week with lots of exciting and challenging activities.

Here is an activity you can try with the whole family!

Koru Disco

What a great night we had on Friday night. Thank you to all those wonderful Room 21 parents that helped make it such an awesome evening! We sure did have a terrific time.

Fab Friday-Sycamore Seed-Spinning Helicopter

For Fab Friday today Room 21 students looked at the Sycamore Seed and how seed dispersal works for these amazing seeds. We made our own  paper 'sycamore seeds' which we also related to spinning helicopter blades. We experimented and asked lots of questions as to how these blades work. We then tested our ideas out on the Junior Playground.

Cross Country

Congratulations to everyone in Room 21 for your effort and enthusiasm towards cross country today. 

You were all amazing!

Tread Lightly Visit

Room 21 had a terrific visit with the educators from 'Tread Lightly' today. We learnt how we can continue to protect our environment and make a real difference.

 The children will be bringing radish seeds home that they planted today. They have decided they want to have a competition to see who can grow the biggest plant. In the last week of this term we will invite students to bring their radish seeds back into Room 21 to share with their peers how big their plant has grown.

Thank you so much to Helen and Liz for your assistance today.
