Term 1 2018 - Week 5

Hi everyone,

This week the children have been busy thinking about what they want to be when they are older.  They used their thinking skills during investigation time and literacy time to spark a passion for what could be.

                   

"When I grow up, I want to be a nurse because they help people when they are hurt really badly. I want to help people so they can feel better. I will give them medicine to drink and I will give the doctor the things he needs." Three Facts about Nurses: 1. Nurses help people and give the doctors the medicine. 2. Nurses have special clothes they wear and special masks. 3. Nurses are kind and take care of people. By Nurse Anna


             

"When I grow up I want to be a ventriloquist because that was the first thing I saw on Britain’s Got Talent. I decided to make my dream." Three facts about Ventriloquists: 1. You always have a dummy that you can control. 2. You always have to start easy and then go hard. By Ventriloquist Mico



                   

"When I am older, I want to be an archaeologist. An archaeologist is also called an gemologist. They find gems and every person has a special rock called a birthstone. My birthstone is a ruby. Rubies are so delicate, they can only be cut in an oval shape." By Archaeologist Olivia
           
                   

"When I grow up I am going to be a builder like my dad. They build a house for you if you want a good house." Facts about a builder: 1. They wear a helmet 2. Builders wear vests 3. They measure how long the house is going to be By Builder Kewa


  


"When I grow up I want to be a police officer because then I can arrest people and help people and make sure people are safe. Then I can make sure everyone can be safe. It will be so cool." Facts about Police Officers: Police officers have a special dog. They have to help other people. They can arrest people and their dog can sniff out people. By Police Officer Phoebe


In Friday Arts this week, the children were exploring the elements of dance, making a shape with connections - over, under, through, round, star and letter shapes with their bodies. They communicated their ideas so that everyone's connection was part of the shape. Well done team!















The children made the most of the autumn weather by enjoying a little bit of buddy reading outside.  A good example of where I like to learn.










                  

                  
















Hope you enjoyed looking at our blog this week.

Term 1 2018 Welcome to Room 12 everyone! We have had a wonderful week getting to know each other and  making new friends. The children have been busy writing holiday stories, practising  handwriting, reading from their book boxes, creating learning maps, and learning about swan plants and caterpillars.    In Rainbow Hui today we presented our new class song,  Waddely Archer, complete with actions that integrate left brain right brain.  It would be great if your child could teach you the song and actions. Investigation time has shown us that we have some very talented children in our class, with lots of creative ideas and problem solving skills.   It has been lovely to listen in on the children's learning conversations with each other.  It is already apparent that we have lots of passionate learners. We look forward to an exciting year ahead with lots of learning opportunities and experiences. It was lovely to meet so many of you this week. H

Week 10 - Term 2 2018 Wearable Arts and Creativity Expo We have had a busy few weeks preparing for our  Wearable Arts and Creativity Expo. The children worked well together in their investigation groups, where they planned and designed  costumes for their mannequins and  explored and created ways to use recycled materials. The children showed their creativity in other ways too - from making 2D and 3D shapes  using tooth picks, to creating Hundertwasser artwork inspired by  a book called Wibbly Wobbly Street. Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, friends and whānau who attended our wearable arts and creativity expo last Friday. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing you and it was wonderful to see the children share their learning with you. If you were not able to attend, please enjoy looking at our photos to see the learning that has been happening in our class over the past few weeks. We are so very proud of all our children and are amazed at their creat

Term 1 2018 - Week 3 Hi everyone, This week, the children have been looking closely under the leaves of our swan plants to check for little eggs.  One morning, they were very excited to find an egg hanging under one of the leaves.   Over the next few days the children will investigate any changes in the egg. One of our students kindly donated some caterpillars from home to put on the plants so they can start munching on the leaves.  The children have been busy making a variety of items during our investigation time this week.  Two of our students were very passionate about making their own musical instruments, so they made a drum set using tin cans and a microphone using cardboard and cellophane.   We had so much fun listening to their music and singing while trying to think of a band name! Another student chose to use tin cans another way, by making  tin can stilts.  He used his balancing skills to walk around the classroom and enjoyed sha
