Making Jelly

Last week Room 9 and 9a made jelly. 

We talked about how the jelly crystals were a solid but when we put the hot water in, the crystals dissolved and turned into a liquid. 

We went and put it in the fridge. 

When we got it out after lunch it was not a liquid anymore! 

We all got to try some jelly. 

We loved it!

 

Koru Whanau Poetry Festival

On Friday we had our first Koru Whanau Poetry Festival. The children from Room 9 and Room 9a did such an amazing job when saying their poems in the class. We were so proud of everyone! It was so hard to only pick three!

Room 9a finalists did a great job reciting their poem from memory!

James loved performing in front of an audience

Jayden enjoyed reciting his poem

Ellen did a fantastic job.

Room 9 finalists also recited their poems from memory!

Claire did a great job

Oscar was super confident

Josh thoroughly enjoyed reciting his poem

The children earned their certificates. They did an awesome job!

Well done to our finalists Jayden, Oscar, Ellen, Josh, James and Claire who did so well reciting their poem in front of so many people!

Learning Mandarin

The Mandarin learning assistant came to Room 9 to teach us how to write the numbers 1-10 in mandarin. 

2D shapes

We have been learning about 2D shapes.

We used the shapes to make a picture, we drew around them and coloured them in to make lovely 2D shape pictures. 

Our first day in Room 9

We had a great time in the home corner.

We loved drawing and colouring at one of the Writing tables. 

The train track is awesome!

We have made friends already!

We started to make a display All About Me with Miss Bycroft. 

Mrs Burge read Jaylee's Transition to school booklet.

We all got certificates to celebrate our first day at school.

What a fun day we had!
