Talk Like a Pirate Day

Today was International Talk like a Pirate day and we celebrated this by watching Pirate stories online, writing about our own pirates, doing pirate matching maths and finally making our own pirate hats!

We went down and showed Mrs Gwilliam our awesome hats and showed her how we could talk like a pirate "Arrrh".

What a fun day!

Puppet Pals with Mr Hale

This afternoon Mr Hale was in our room working with 3 children from Room 5 using the Puppet Pals!
They got to retell our big book from last week called "The Bear's Picnic".

Aahana, Raul and Cialei had to take photos, cut them out and then come up with a script.
Finally, they had to record their script and move the pictures.

Check out the videos - pretty good for the first time!!!    WELL DONE YOU THREE~ !

Heads, shoulders, knees and toes in Te Reo

Here we are singing "Heads, shoulders, knees and toes" in Te Reo that Miss Kitshoff taught us last time she was with us.

We sound pretty good!


Turning bread into toast with Miss Kitshoff

Today Miss Kitshoff ( our student teacher) showed us how to turn bread into toast, then we got to eat toast with either nutella or jam!  It was so yummy.
After we had watched it cook, we wrote a recount of what happened.

Here are some photos of  us making toast.  Thanks Miss Kitshoff!

Maths Problem Solving

Last Friday we tried working in different maths groups to solve some word problems.
We had to read the question and then circle the key maths words.  Next we had to write the maths equation and if possible draw a picture to represent the problem.

Here are some photos of us in action and some short videos trying to explain what we did.

Coke explosion!

Today for story writing we went outside and popped mentos in some diet coke.

Then it exploded like a volcano!








Measurement Day

Last week we were learning how to measure objects and to see which is shorter or taller.

First we had to find some objects around our classroom to measure and then take a photo on the ipads of which is shorter or taller.

Here is some of our work.
