Room 1 are enjoying our swimming sessions. These are all about water safety and confidence with some skill sessions.  We are all in the pool together and have lots of fun practising essential skills like floating. Togs and towels need to come to school everyday to ensure we make the most of the warmer weather. Look how well Stevie is floating! What is your favourite activity in a pool?

In Room 1 the tamariki have been learning about these two dates. We have looked at the similarities and differences.

We read the story about the Invasion of Parihaka.

Children responded by craeting a google draw or a piece of art that tells a part of what happened.

Look at for this on the children’s blogs

Aiden and Locclyn’s image of people taken away to prison.

We used a google spreadsheet to design a shape that had symmetry. Some of our shapes have more than  one line of symmetry.  You might like to use the link to the google sheet , make a copy and make your own symmetrical shape.

One group has been reading about bungy jumping, learning how to identify the main parts from the beginning, middle and end. Then retell different parts of the story. For a bit of fun we had a go at bungy jumping!

WALT: that a number prefix can help us know how many sides a shape has, and also can help us to work out meanings of words.

Tricycle – tri means 3 so a tricycle has 3 wheels.

We have been writing positive, thoughtful and helpful comments on blogs from our school and other schools. What we would love is some comments on our blogs. Just look down the side to find the individual blogs of learners from room 1. Ka pai!
