Week 7 Term 1 2018

Hi everyone,

We've had a very colourful week in Room 12 where we have been learning about primary colours and warm and cool colours.  The children created their own colours to paint their sun and moon artwork.  






We celebrated the end of a fun and busy week by wearing our colourful pyjamas and onesies.  











On Friday we were very lucky to have Jannah teach us some songs and talk about a variety of musical instruments.  The children thoroughly enjoyed dancing and singing with her.  

Thank you Jannah, we hope to see you again very soon.



































Our PMP session today was even more fun in a pumpkin onesie and green pyjamas!






Thanks for looking at our blog.

Have a great week,

Karen & Sarah

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 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

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
