The rain has certainly arrived and with it we have begun to think about how rain is made, how clouds are formed and why our earth is made up of over 70% of water!
We have begun inquiring into the water cycle and have even explored some awesome experiments to justify our conclusions.
As part of that inquiry you have probably found yourself singing this catchy tune ....

Wahoo! We got to share our learning with the whole school.
Our wondeful writing
Room 1 has a wall of wonderful poems about Autumn leaves. We wrote these using our senses after we had explored the leaves around the school and watched, listened, smelt and felt them.
Here is some of the great writing we achieved!
Anzac Day - Why is it so special to New Zealanders?
In Room 1 we have been learning about the special place ANZAC day has in our lives 100 years on.
We learnt that a lot of our great grandads and great grandmas watched as their fathers went away to a war on the other side of the world. many didn't come home again. Thank you to all our families that helped us uncover some wonderful family history.

We found out about the story of the Poppy and why it has become the symbol of the Anzacs.

We used the iconic symbol of Anzac Day a poppy to recreate a tribute to our soldiers. We learnt to add layers of paint to create depth and to add an outline to make an image bold.
Here are some examples of what we created... for more come into Room 1 for a viewing!

Look what Ererangi found for us!
Ererangi and her grandmother found this wonderful birds nest for us to investigate at news time! We had lots of discussion about what to do if you find a birds nest and what they are made of. Thank you for bringing this in Ererangi!
