Learning to dribble a ball

Learning to be measurers

Today we measured our teddy bears. Check out what Sienna and Kaedyn did....

Measuring Raki Raki

We are learning to be measurers! 

We drew pictures of raki raki and then measured different parts of the duck.

We know that to measure we have to have a start and end point.

Logan and Camo have been using the IPADs to record facts from their book - all about Hippos!

Today Room 6 saw a bird. It is on our roof. Duck shooters might shoot the duck. Mrs Ramsay stood on the ladder then she couldn't see so she stood on our table. It has a spiky tail. It looks like a goose but it is a duck. It has an orange beak and it doesn't have a nose like our one. In the ducks beak it has nostrils so it can breath. I think its up there because it has babies. Its wings might be broken because it fell off the roof. The feathers are white like clouds. Its whanau might fly up to see it. Its habitat is at Parkvale School.

When I walked into Room 6 I saw a duck. It had red goggles like fire and white feathers like a white wall. I think that if flew back from a paddock.

Today Room 6 saw a duck and it went quack quack! It has an orange beak. It is on the roof because some people were trying to scare it near Room 6. On Friday if was near Room 8.

How fascinating! Today in class I looked out of the window like I do every day and I saw a duck. I was soooo surprised that it nearly ripped my socks off. At morning tea it made all the children say, "There is a duck on the roof!" I think it was there to make a new habitat here.

Today Room 6 saw a duck on the roof. It has orange around its eyes and it has a pointy orange beak and the duck has a white bushy little tail. I think it has laid some eggs and it is trying to protect the eggs from predators!

U sound

Today the Lorax's reading group hunted around school for things with the u sound. Look at the collages they created using the IPADs.

Rapunzel's Castles

After reading the fairytale 'Rapunzel' we decided to create a castle that Rapunzel would like to live in.
We used our maths knowledge to plan and draw rectangles, squares, triangles and semi circles. We used our knowledge about temperature to help us figure out what warm and cool colours to use.

Physical Education

Today Mrs T from Sports Hawke's Bay visited us in Room 6 to teach us how to dribble a basket ball with our hands.
Thank you Mrs T - it was great fun! We are going to keep practicing dribbling the ball with one hand.

We learnt to 

• dribble the ball next to our hip
• push, not slap, the ball with one hand
• keep our eyes looking forward, not at the ball, so we can see where we are going
