Unpacking our knowledge

As part of our inquiry topic, today we talked about how we get things.  Mrs Belt is trying a new technique to capture our responses as we like to all share.  Click on the dots in the photo below to see what we all think!

Our first question was "What do we do if we want/need something?"

Meeting Harold

Room 19 had their last session in the Life Education Classroom with Harold on Friday.  We learnt about the different foods we can eat for each meal to make us healthy, strong and give us energy.

The learners in Room 19 were particularly excited to pat Harold at the end of the session, and Mrs Belt captured this on camera!  We will be writing some stories for our individual blogs this week - check them out later in the week!

Celebrating Classroom success

Congratulations to Anthony and Gabriel who received certificates at Friday's Team 1 assembly for some great work in the classroom this week!

Team 1 is focusing on the following things this week:

Champions never give up. 

Be kind to our friends 

Look after school property

Wait patiently

Who will earn the certificates in Room 19 next week?

Amazing Mathematicians!

Mrs Belt is really excited to share some of the amazing work our learners did today in maths!  We are learning about subtraction and used bugs and bears to help us with our learning.

Cross Country Training

Room 19 is joining the whole of Team 1 in preparing for the Cross Country later this term.   Most days after morning tea we go for a run around the fields.  We are learning to run slowly (or jog) to pace ourselves so we last the whole distance.

After we run, we do some stretches before we go back to class.

Our first visit to Harold

Today Room 19 visited Harold in his mobile classroom!  We had a great session and learnt about what foods were healthy to eat and what happens to our food when we eat it.  We all enjoyed learning from Lynn and Harold and can't wait for our next lesson later this week.

When we were back in class we wrote a short story about some of the things we learnt.

"We went into Harold's classroom, and we learnt healthy food makes us strong."

Our Holidays

It was great to hear what the learners in Room 19 did over the holidays during writing time today.  Here are a few of the exciting things that were shared:

"I played rugby with my big brother."

I went to the shop and bought a Christmas tree."

"I went to the pools with my Aunty and Uncle."

"I wrote a diary about my holiday."

"I played games with my brother."

"I went to my Nana's."

"I went to my cousins birthday at Rainbows End."

"I went to the movies."

"I went to the beach."

"I drew pictures with my Mum."

"I played with my friends at the park."

It definitely sounds like some great experiences.  We are looking forward to writing about new experiences this term in Room 19.  

The first of these comes tomorrow when we get to visit Harold in the Life Education van for the first time.
