Bees and Honey

Last week Williams mum Kate came in to talk to Room 9 about bees. 

She brought in a beehive and some delicious honey! 

We learnt that about 70,000 bees could fit in this beehive. Wow!
We also learnt about the different types of bees and their jobs. 

Have a look at the photos below. 

Thank you so much to Kate for coming in to talk to us!

We all learnt so much!

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 Disco

On Friday we had the Koru Whanau disco. There were lots of Room 9 children there. 

Have a look at the photos and see how much fun we had!

Gymnastics

On Wednesday Room 9 had their first gymnastics session.

We all had so much fun trying the different equipment!

Here are a couple of photos.

Thank you so much to the parent helpers!

Certificates

Last week we had lots of exciting celebrations!

Eric and Ellen received Principals certificates. 

William and Mia received gift cards from the I-Spy Mathathon. 

Well done!

Tinker Time

This week we have been using Tinker Time a lot in the classroom. 

We had a go at using Osmo on the iPads. We had some children who learnt how to do it very quickly!

 

 

 

We also had some time with Beebot. We had to code him to get to different letters of the alphabet. 

Look at the Tower William built

William was so proud of his tower he insisted that Mrs Burge took a photo.

A Wonderful Enviro Lesson

Room 9 had the best enviro lesson with Mrs Daniel last week!

They all went down to our school garden and dug out some kumara that had been growing in there. Then at lunch time Mrs Daniel went and cooked it for us!

Here we are enjoying the kumara that we got out of the garden ourselves. 

Certificates

Congratulations to William and Chanuthi who both received a certificate today at the whole school assembly. 

Chanuthi has settled into school really well and William has been working so hard to learn his words. 

Well done!

Splatter Butterflies

This week in Maths we were learning about symmetry.

We thought it would be fun to create some symmetrical butterflies using paint. 

Look at how great they look! They are all so different and colourful.

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.
