Room 1
The kids in Room One are loving the Rocket Challenge. We have learned all about Isaac Newtons Law of motion, force and aerodynamics. This week we have drawn plans and started work on our prototypes. Next week we begin to build our rockets. If you have spare ice cream containers at home can Rooms One and Two please have them? We will be using them to build our rockets. Hopefully we will have some videos to show you next week.
Room 2
We have had a busy week preparing for Cross Country. We continue to work with Ghislaine from Kelly Sports who has been helping us improve our large ball skills. Team work is a must when playing games and Room 2 are getting better at working together to help their team win.
Room 3
Room 3 were lucky to have three different teachers this week and some exciting and different activities. Miss Cleland was in on Monday. She read a description of a person and scene and the students had to draw a picture from listening. Mrs Hauparoa was in on Tuesday and challenged them to solve the problem of how the billy goats could get over a river to find food. Room 3 had lots of fun using strawbies equipment to build their ideas.

Room 4
This week in Room 4 we have begun a new science topic with a plant focus. We have looked at why plants are important for people and the environment, then planted seeds of our own. We are excited to watch them grow. We have added a few new things to our daily classwork. One of them is StudyLadder; which has been a huge hit and a big help with practicing our basic facts.
Room 5
In Room 5 this week we started a makerspace project! We read the 3 Billy Goats Gruff book and then we went away to plan and design a different way to get the goats to the other side of the river! In pairs we discussed what the goats could make and then we drew our designs! Next week we are going to make our designs! We had a great time being creative and we are really looking forward to putting our plans into action!
Room 6
This week we have been learning how to ‘IMAGE’ numbers to solve number problems in our heads. We read the problems, then imaged the numbers so we could count along to see how many altogether. We shared our answer with our buddy, then checked to see if we were right by counting all the things in the pictures. Maybe you can try this with us at home too!
