Busy Day for Room 5!

What a busy day we have had!

The day started with a visit from Constable Taylor and we learnt all about how to be safe on the road. We then put this into practice by going up onto the road and practiced how to safely cross the school driveway and the road. Miss Young was too busy paying attention to the road to take pictures of us practicing!

After Road Safety we had a session on Scooter Skills and learnt how to quickly and safely stop ourselves without using the foot brake because that is too slow! It is called the Elephant Stomp (ask your child to explain or show you what this is).

We also had a session with Project Energize today about Healthy food groups and how this food can help our bodies Glow, Grow and Go.

We're off to a flying start!

Welcome to another wonderful year in Room 5! This year we are part of the Kapowai Pod. Kapowai means Dragonfly in Te Reo. Our four classes of our Middle Pod work together, just like the four wings of a dragonfly. As a class we have made a beautiful piece of art which can be seen in the window outside of our class. We have been enjoying getting to know each other so far this year. Our Exploration SPACE and workshops have been a success and we look forward to learning new and exciting things.

City Gallery and Te Papa

We had a fantastic time at City Gallery and Te Papa last week. We learnt about Maori Cultural art and then enjoyed exploring the new nature exhibit at Te Papa. While we were at the City Gallery we made our own screen prints of gourds with letters that symbolise something of our choice. You can see them up close in the Learning Street before they go home at the end of term.

Special Treat Heading Home

Room 5 have been keeping busy preparing a Special Treat. Room 5 have been busy making some special gifts for a special someone for Christmas. They have even decorated the wrapping paper themselves. Here are some of the wrapped up presents.
