On Monday 27th March Room 25 headed down to the Owairaka Community Gardens. We used magnifying glasses to observe bugs in the bug hotel, we lay cardboard and mulch on the garden beds, measured signs so we can design new ones, did lots of weeding and learnt a lot about the different plants growing in the gardens. A huge THANK YOU to Heather who looks after our Community Gardens, we love working with you!
Every day we have a different morning focus:
Today (FEEL GOOD FRIDAY) we learnt what it means to compliment someone. We wrote a letter to a secret buddy to tell them what we think they are good at, and what makes them an awesome class member.
We all felt really good when we read our letters!
Room 25's 'THINKERS' and 'WONDERERS' reading groups have been learning to instantly identify high frequency words when they are reading. They had the challenge to write words from their word cards on a sticky note and then find these words in the book they were reading - look how many high frequency words they found!
Well done - Super learning and super reading!
Every THURSDAY before lunch Room 25 visits our beautiful school library. We are so lucky to have this resource to use. We can research topics we are interested in, grow in confidence to read aloud, practice being good listeners and enjoy some relaxing reading time with our friends.
Here are some photos of our library time today...
Today we used our Chromebooks for the first time.
We learnt to:
- Login using a username and password
- Send an email to Miss O'Shea
Here are some screen shots of our learning...
