Today Mrs Nathan gave Kasslin a challenge.  She asked her to think of a different story starter, instead of I went to.  Kasslin wrote about Greedy Cat instead.  She wrote two sentences and finished with an exclamation mark!

Keep up the great work Kasslin!

A happy sad afternoon.

Today Krishnav brought us a yummy cake.  He is moving to Tokoroa to be with his Dad.

We will miss you Krishnav, but wish you and your family all the best at your new school.

Thank you for the yummy cake!

Maths today

Today in maths we worked in groups to complete our pattern activities.  Our focus was on team work and problem solving.

Some groups had great success and others found the job difficult.

Today Suliana finished her writing book. When we looked back at the start of her book we noticed that at the beginning of the year she couldn't really write any words, but now she is amazing!  She can write two sentences and she can find the words and sounds she needs.

We can't wait to see how clever you are at the end of the next term Suliana!

A fun afternoon

Today we played with a new app called Quiver.

We coloured in a picture from the website. Quivervision.com

Then we used the app to bring them to life!

One of Our Favourite Reading Books

Today Room 11 took one of their favourite reading books home to share with their families.  Their job was to be the teacher and see if their families could predict what the something very scary was and how they thought the characters would get the scary thing out.

We had a lot of fun trying to guess what  it was and to look for clues while we read the book to tell us if we were right.

We used clues from another book we had read called The Hissing Bush as well as what we knew had scary eyes and made hissing noises.

If your brother, sister, son or daughter is in Room 11 please let us know how good they were at asking questions and helping you to solve the mystery.

You can come and see our Something Scary pictures and stories in class as well.

Star Writers

Today we had two star writers!

Dara was able to write his story all by himself by finding the words he needed or sounding them out.

Righteous worked with Mrs Nathan but he didn't really need her.  Mrs Nathan just helped him to keep his story in his head and he knew exactly where to find the words he needed.

Keep up the great work you stars!

The Best class at assembly is...

Room 11!

Today we won the certificate for the best class at assembly.  That means that we were the class with the best manners and the best listening skills.

Way to go Room 11!

Star Writers

Today Krishnav and Suliana were our Star Writers.

Suliana worked hard with Mrs Nathan to find the words and the sounds she needed.

Krishnav was able to find the words and sounds he needed by himself.

Keep up the great work you two!

Bubblegum Dance Crew!

This morning the Bubblegum Dance Crew came to our school to dance for us.
They were awesome dancers.

There was a dance battle and Mrs Dawson was a crazy dancer.  She won a lolly because she was so good.

They were the best dancers and they have won gold medals at the World hip hop championships.
They are going back to America to be part of another World Championship battle.  We think that they will  win a gold medal again.

Here is a video of them in action at last year's competition.
