Room 9 Communication Twins

In Room 9 we were also focussing on our Inquiry topic of Communication and have been practicing how to communicate clearly with each other. 

We had a go at sitting back to back with a buddy and giving them instructions to follow. We called this Communication Twins.

We used coloured rods and simple pictures which one person described to their buddy. The buddy then had to follow the instructions on how to create the same image without seeing it. 

Check out how we got on....

When we had compared images we had a chat about whether our communication was clear enough and also how we could improve.

It was lots of fun!

Koru Whanau Assembly

 We had our first Koru Whanau Assembly in ages, this week. Room 9 and Room 22 presented their items.

Look at Room 9s Pete the cat artwork - it looked lovely.

Hayley and Kaden were so brave standing up on stage presenting!

Room 9 did such a fantastic job of presenting their item.

Miss Robertson and Mrs Burge also had four certificates to give out per class. 

Well done everyone for your wonderful achievements!

Lucy had a go at retelling the story of the Wishgranter. Lucy found this a bit challenging but she perservered and has done a fantasic job!

Noah has been doing some reading and story telling at home.

When the weather was brighter Noah and his family headed to the beach to look for crabs. That looks like a fun outing Noah!

 He told his mum some facts about monkeys and then he wrote them down.

Indigo has been learning about volcanoes and paper mache! Check out this awesome volcano she made with her Dad! 

Kayla has sepent some time outside on her scooter when the sun is out!

Kayla has been practising some spelling but writing words that start with 'f'.

Aelene has been picking some grapefruit with her Grandpa today.

Yummy! How do you eat your grapefruit Aelene?

Fiona has been using the reading website Starfall at home.

Home and School Learning from Indigo, Issy, Aelene, Noah, Tohu and Luca

When the sun was shinning Indigo was out on her scooter doing some clever balancing tricks!

Indigo has enjoyed working on the Reading Eggs app on her iPad too!

Indigo has also been playing pretend. Here she is pretending to be her Mum working from home and taking video calls! Indigo you almost had me fooled for you Mum!

Issy has used the GEMS slide growth to become an inventor and create a new machine!

Can you see what kind of machine Issy has invented??

I think Room 9 could do with having a "Tidy Tainui 2000" in our class! What do you think??

Issy has used the writing slide to make a recipe for her favourite food. Mmmmm pancakes they are one of my favourites too!

Aelene has been practising her maths at home.

Wow! You are so clever Aelene, those are some tricky problems!

Noah has been busy at home learning about aroha and practising his writing.

He has chosen the writing slide to describe his favourite animal. Can you guess what it is??

Noah has been practising his reading too. Watch the video below to see how he is using the back of his word cards.

Tohu has been working hard everyday on his reading, writing and maths. Watch the video below to see him read his own writing from today!

Luca has been at school today with Yasmin. 

Together they worked on some puzzles. They found it best to use the flat sided pieces first then the ones with corners.

Wow! I am so proud of you all for working really hard at home (and school). Give yourself a pat on the back and say.... "Marvelous me!" 

From Miss Robertson😁
