Egypt

We are learning all about Egypt in Room 4! Check out these videos below with interesting facts about the pyramids, mummies, Pharoahs, the Sphinx and more ... What can you find out about Egypt?

Lego Challenge

On Friday Room 4 had a Lego Challenge. Each table group was given some Lego and had to create something together with all the pieces. We learned the importance of teamwork, to listen and respect each other's ideas and have lots of patience. It was heaps of fun being creative and working together as a team!

Washing Day!

In the holidays Spot, Coco and Mr Fluff went home with Miss Whaley to have a good wash! They really enjoyed getting spun around in the washing machine and then hanging on the line in the sun. All the toys are looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday!

The Storyteller

Last week Stu Duval, the Storyteller came to visit Hinuera. He told us some really interesting stories about pirates and pudding! Stu was also an amazing artist and showed us how he draws pictures using letters and numbers.

Here is the link to his website if you want to practise drawing like Stu

This week the Room 8 PALs leaders took us for some games outside. They had worked with Brendan from Sport Waikato to think up the games and organise the equipment. We thought they were great teachers because they explained the instructions well and they were kind and helpful to us. We had lots of fun playing the games!

Snowman Party

I am LOVING this awesome artwork that Room 4 created at the the end of the term! It has just gone up on our classroom wall & doesn't it look amazing?

Brrr so cold!

On Tuesday morning Room 4 braved the cold to go out and see the amazing frost! Afterwards we wrote some fabulous descriptive stories about it. Check them out in the classroom.

We love our mums!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mums for last weekend! We wrote some lovely stories to describe our mums in Room 4. Here are some of them ... the rest are on display in our classroom!

GetWise

Today Callum from ASB came to visit us. He was actually a super hero called Captain Cash! Captain Cash talked to us about types of money, our needs and wants and where to save our money. We really enjoyed his visit!

Special Visitor

Today at school we were very lucky to have Stevi and her guide dog Halo come to visit us. Stevi used to be a Hinni kid! She showed us the harness Halo uses, her cane and the special coat Halo wears. We also learned all about Halo and that his favourite food is carrots! We loved having them visit us.

Yay everyone was here today so we took the photo for our blog! After the first photo Room 4 turned a little crazy - check out our funny faces below!

Swimming like a Fish!

We love going swimming in Room 4 and are like fish in the pool. We have been practising kicking on our tummies and our backs as well as breathing when doing freestyle. It has been great to see everyone giving things a go and trying to improve every day when we go in the pool. 

What are you learning to do in the pool?

Life Education

Last week we had Harold and the Life Education van visit our school. He taught us about KINDNESS and being FRIENDLY to others. He also said that it's good to be BRAVE when things are new or a bit scary. We really enjoyed meeting Harold!

What was your favourite thing about meeting Harold?
