Building Auckland City

During Exploration Time, three budding engineers designed and built a city! They were soon joined by classmates who helped them with some more building.They decided it was called 'Auckland City'. The children could name a number of places associated with Auckland City, plus a few  that they thought would be there!

Perhaps The Auckland City Council might be impressed with their 'Design and Build'!!

From this.....

to this...!

The children were very proud of their efforts.

Exploration Time in Room 5

Today we had Exploration Time as part of our morning programme. The children could choose equipment and activities to work with.

Joe, Alex and Liam wanted to build with the big blocks.

Manaia, Erin and Hunter counted and matched up the 'Little Shop' objects.

Pirate/Princess Dress-Up Day

Room 5 was overtaken by a band of unruly pirates!

Just as well there was a handsome Prince and pretty Princesses to keep them in line!

The Pirate Song was performed at assembly by Rooms 5 and 6, well done to you all!

Harold's Picnic

Our second lesson in the Life Education Caravan reinforced the concepts of a balanced diet. 

The children chose items from each food group to put in a lunch box. 

Dress up day

Life Education Visit

Today, Room 5 went see Harold in the Life Education Caravan. We learnt about eating a balanced diet so that we eat lots of different foods. We matched up the foods to see what they do- some help make our bones and teeth strong, some help make our muscles grow, some help us to have lots of energy, and some help to keep us very healthy. 

Carmen, the teacher and Harold the Giraffe taught us about how it is important to eat lots of different food. We liked visiting Harold.

Life Education Caravan

The Life Education Caravan has arrived at school! Room 5 children will be visiting Carmen the teacher, and Harold the Giraffe, her helper, to learn about Healthy Eating- 'Eating Different Foods'. We will be having 2 lessons this week. The children are looking forward to their visits.

Milk shakes

We made chocolate milk shakes as a treat for 'Mm' focus! They were yummy! We drank them through a straw and thought that was fun. There were lots of slurping noises! YUM! YUM!

Rabbit visit

Jenny-Lee brought two little rabbits to visit our class. We thought they were so cute and cuddly.

Gianni liked the little rabbit.

Aarion said its fur was soft.

Hunter liked patting the rabbit.
