Our alphabet books

Room 1 has an optional homework task. This task is an alphabet book. Each week the children work on a letter of the alphabet, pick a topic, do some research and present their findings in creative ways. I (Miss Haerewa) have enjoyed reading letters 'A' and 'B' so far. I have learnt a lot about new topics and I can see what some of the children in Room 1 are interested in. Keep up the amazing work Room 1!

How to make a good blog post

We have been learning about what makes a good blog post. To show our learning we made a Google Drawing listing the 6 things you should have in a blog post.

We all learnt something new and focused on what questions we could ask the audience so they will reply with more then a yes or no.

Do you enjoy sharing your learning on your blog? Do you do all the 6 steps and which one do you find the most difficult?

We find asking questions the most difficult because we want to know lots about our viewers!

Hiwi the Kiwi

Last week The Minstrel (Hiwi the Kiwi) came to visit our school. Him and his wife sang songs, did dance actions, told lots of jokes and called us "Boo Boo". He was so funny. We had a lot of fun joining in with him as we learnt about fishing and water safety. Read some of our stories below to see what we learnt!

WANTED! Jack and the beanstalk

In Room 1 we have been reading Jack and the beanstalk. We have been discussing the characters and what makes them good and bad. Here are some wanted posters we created on Google Draw. We wrote about why the characters were wanted and described their looks.

We love to swim!

We had a great time swimming during term 1. We learnt new skills in the water, such as holding a flutter board with straight arms and crocodile hands, kicking our legs without splashing, using our arms to do freestyle and turning our head on every third arm stroke for a breath.

We also practiced what to do if we get into trouble in the pool, how to get someones attention and what it would be like to be rescued.
