Teddy Bears Picnic

Today we had a Teddy Bears Picnic to share our Te Reo Learning from this term.
We had a wonderful time sharing our Te Reo, enjoying the sunshine and snuggling our bears with friends and whanau.

Well done tamariki ma for your wonderful te reo māori!

Thank you to all of the parents who came!

More about Fractions

We have been doing even more learning about fractions!  We are becoming experts at recognising wholes and halves!!!

Here is another video that we have watched to help us out!

Fractions

In Room 3 we have been learning about fractions!

Here is a little video we watched to help us learn about halves and quarters...

Some things that we said we learnt about halves:

Julia "You cut it in half and you have to share it and make it fair."
Lucy "There is a whole, you chop it into halves and then another halves and its a quarter."
Olivia "If you have a heart and you cut it in half it will be half a heart"

Rosies World

Today we were lucky enough to be visited by Anna from School Kit.  She dropped off some awesome little kitchen accessories that we can use in our class.

She also left us a book called "Rosie to the Rescue"

We looked online and found out more information about Rosie here:

UNO

Today we were lucky enough to have the team from UNO come to school.  They came because Harry and Alexis' Aunty won a competition for our school.  Not only did we get a great donation of money but we also each got some UNO for ourselves!

UNO, alongside Mr Mac, joined in with junior jump jam after which was a particular highlight for all of us!!!

Shared Reading

Each day we read a big book.  This big book usually lasts us a week and we look at a range of different parts of the story.

We have been doing our big book using a website called 'Oxford Owl' and our VIP for the day turns the pages and points along.

This week our big book is based on the fairy tale 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.  We have discussed fairy tales and are using toontastic to retell a fairy tale of our choice!  I cant wait to share some of them with you!!!

Here is a picture of Liam helping us out with our shared reading!

Mrs Butlers Birthday

Well today was Mrs Butlers Birthday!  We decided that we should bake a cake to celebrate!  So we gathered all of the ingredients and equipment we needed and we made a wonderful chocolate cake!  (Pretty awesome seems Mrs Butler cannot bake at all!)

YUM YUM!!!
