Have you read this chapter book? Room 12 has!

We read this book everyday till we finished, we read a chapter a day, sometimes we were so engrossed in the story that Room 12 begged to read a little bit more, so we did sneak another chapter here and there.

Next term we are going to do another book by our favorite author Roald Dahl because we love to learn!

Learning is explosive FUN

Sand Volcano

We have been learning that verbs are doing words, also how to write instructions.  We made sand volcanoes by mixing baking soda and vinegar together with red food colouring - were we successful in following our instructions?

From the look on Room 12's faces I think we were:)

Puririhua Garden Visit

We decided to visit the butterfly garden once more before the end of the term 1.  We saw lots of butterflies in all the different stages of their life cycle.

Making Anzac Cookies

To tie into our learning about verbs and writing instructions we followed instructions to make some Anzac cookies.  Were we successful?  I think Room 12 will agree that we did pretty good!

Our Museum Visit

Room 12 caught the bus to the  museum, it was really neat to go out into our community to do some learning.  We did some art at the museum with Arron, we also got told a maori legend about how carvings came from the domain of Tangaroa into our everyday marae.  We learnt how rubbish can travel from anywhere into the sea, and how fish consume it, then how we consume the fish.EEEEk scary thought!

Thank you to our lovely parent helpers:)
