Junior Cross Country - Tuesday 29 May

We had such a lot of fun at the Junior Cross Country.  Well done to all the children who participated! 

Here are some photos.....

P.E with Room 11

We have had a very busy first week back to term 2!

On Wednesday morning we had 'Footsteps', we learned some hip-hop moves from Kate, she was the dance teacher. We danced to the song 'Eye of the Tiger' and it was so loud and fast! Some of the moves we did were punching, kicking and tiger claws. We can't wait to go back!!

On Friday morning after fruit break, we got to enjoy some games with the team at Kelly Sports. We learned to play dodgeball and rippa octopus. We were split into teams and got 10 minutes to play each game. We were doing lots of running and shielding... Miss Sheppard got some awesome action shots!

Science Detectives and Creative Thinkers in Room 12

In Room 12, we have been very busy being science detectives and using our Makers Space time to create dinosaurs, space stations and things we love about Autumn.

Science Detectives

We have been learning about changes of state by mixing substances. Two of our experiments involved vinegar and baking soda. When we mixed them together we made balloons blow up and we made a rainbow.

Yesterday in the science area Room 12 did science. We mixed vinegar and baking soda. We put vinegar in a bottle and baking soda in a balloon. We stuck the balloon on the bottle and mixed it in the bottle. Then it exploded. The vinegar made carbon dioxide. By Jian

Room 12

Room 5's Maths Problem Solving!

Matthew chose to draw a picture to solve the problem.

Mum gave me 3 apples and Dad gave me 2 more. How many apples do I have altogether?

Room 5 have been learning about problem solving. We learned that when we come across a problem we need to read it, look for key words and then plan a way to solve it. We talked about different ways we could do this and that which ever way we chose, all ways were right!

Finn used materials to solve the problem.

Pelagia chose to draw the apples to solve the problem.

Room 7 have had a busy few weeks.

We have been enjoying Te Reo with Mel....

Last Friday we had our Swimming Display.  Here are some photos....
