Plant Flip Books

For the past couple of weeks Room 4 has been carrying out an Inquiry into plants. We had to watch videos on the blog and write down facts we learned. We discovered how plants grow, what the parts of the plants are called and what they are for as well as lots of other interesting facts. Then we made these amazing Flip Books with all our facts in. We are super proud of our Plant Flip Books! Make sure you come and have a read.

 Room 4's Plant Flip Books!

Instead of the usual Room 4 kids we had Elsa from Frozen, Little Red Riding Hood, a minion, Star Wars characters, Judy Hopps, Captain America and many more! Check out our crazy looking class in all their costumes.

PJ and Movie Day

In the last week of term we reached the first level of our Marble Jar so we got to have a class treat. We decided to have a PJ and movie day. It was so fun coming to school in our pyjamas!

I hope everyone has had a super holiday and looking forward to coming back to school on Monday!

Wizard's Brew

This week we did some exciting science in Room 4 and created some Wizard's Brew! It was so fun mixing all the ingredients together then watching it bubble and foam everywhere. We could also explain why it happened because we are such clever scientists! Check out the photos of our Wizard's Brew and some super descriptive and scientific writing about it too!

Marvellous Music

Every Thursday we have music with Mrs Gribble. We are learning about beat and rhythm. Our favourite activity is to play the drums, we even got to use drumsticks last week! Check out some photos of us having fun at music.

What is your favourite thing about music?

Pic Collage Feelings

For Te Reo this term, we have been learning about feelings. We decided to combine our knowledge of Te Reo and the iPad app - Pic Collage to create a collage of some of the feelings we have learned about. We had to use at least 4 feelings, write the Te Reo words and work as part of a team. Check out some of the creations!

Happy Mother's Day!

In Room 4 we all love our mums! To celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday we wrote descriptions of our mums this week in class. Here are some of our lovely stories! The rest are on display in Room 4. Have a wonderful Mother's Day on Sunday!

Pepeha

This term we have been learning how to introduce ourselves in Te Reo and say our Pepeha. We have been practising saying our Pepeha in class and are proud of how our confidence has grown in Te Reo. This week we made videos with a buddy of us saying our Pepeha. Here are some of the videos to show you ...

Life Education

Last week Harold and the Life Education van came to visit us at school. We really enjoyed meeting him and learning about our bodies. We learned where some important parts of our bodies are, what happens to our bodies when we have different feelings and what we can do to calm our bodies down.

Harold met us on the big screen!

Silas is putting the heart under the lungs on Carpet Kid.

We are practising our Take 5 Breathing to calm down.
