Term 4

Welcome back Room 6 for an exciting and very busy term 4! This week we had Tuakana Teina where the senior kids came into our classroom and worked with us on some art. This will be going up in the office foyer. We displayed some great team work!!

Silly Clowns

Last Friday we read a story about a clown then created our art piece, turning ourselves into silly clowns. We then wrote some exciting stories! Don't we look funny!!

Junior presentation

This week Room 6 were very excited to show off their Irish dance for the junior presentation. Everyone worked really hard and loved getting all dressed up for the show. Miss Romeyn and Mrs Trebes were very proud of the class for giving their best. We hope everyone enjoyed it! 

Bear Visit

Room 6 have been reading the story 'We're going on a bear hunt', so we could do a fun drama lesson with Whaea Arna. We received a letter from mama bear asking for our help in solving the bears problem... Baby bear is hiding in the cave, he is feeling lonely and has no friends to play with. 

Baby bear came into our classroom and we were able to ask him lots of questions to find out about his life and how we could help him. We had lots of great inquiry questions from the kids:

• Why are you sad?
• What do you eat? 
• Why did your best friend move?
• Do you hibernate?
• Why don't you live together?
• Do you hunt?

We had lots of fun completing this lesson to solve how we could help baby bear's problem of feeling lonely. We even learnt some new interesting facts about bears.

Ugly Bugs

Our artwork is based off the story we read called 'The Very Ugly Bug'. We had to give our bugs HUGE big boogly eyes, a really odd wibbly, wobbly shaped head, a horrible hairy back and wonky purple legs. We had lots of fun and they all turned out very different from one another. Come check them out on display in Room 6.

Card Making

This week we have Fathers Day coming up and so on Friday we were busy making cards to someone special in our lives. This could be our Dad, Stepdad, Granddad, Brother, Uncle, Mum or anyone that is special and important to us. We hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Fun filled week

This week Room 6 were very lucky getting to do lots of fun activities with Mrs Spencer and Mrs Horan. This included puzzle time with lots of cool Disney puzzles, in which the students worked so well as a team, the ugly bug artwork, and the rainbow fish art, both from stories the class had read. From reading the Rainbow Fish we learnt an important lesson that we need to share our things with our friends. The kids had lots of fun making their fish with cupcake holders. The fish on display make our classroom look nice and bright!
