Spring has arrived!

Yes! Spring is here. 
 Ererangi has brought us some beautiful daffodils for Room 1.
The daphne in the garden by the office door is flowering and each morning I catch a sniff of its perfume as it wafts in the air. 
See if you can find the meaning to the interesting words I used in the post... my dictionary wizards!

I spy with my little eye.....

Well done...
to two students from Room 1 who have been busy beavers on Studyladder. 
What awesome learners you are!
 
















You never know when I am watching! Great job!

Room1 has a craft box to be proud of

Thanks to the Gilmour family and the Light family for cleaning out your cupboards and finding us some unwanted treasures!
They will be put to very good use on these wet lunchtimes!


Remember one man's junk is another man's treasure... we are into recycling in Room1

The water cycle goes round and round....

Yes, it does!
The water cycle is forever active on our planet ( Earth)  bringing and supporting life to plants, mammals, fish, reptiles and humans.
We all need it to survive! 
That is why it is so important to us.
Here are some of the diaorama's we made to show our learning!
Ask us about the fog, clouds, rain, snow, hail, puddles, lakes, rivers and oceans and we can tell you how they are made!




It's all about the water!
A special thanks to Lincoln's Mum who made us the awesome play dough which we used very creatively!

Water, water everywhere!

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 ....

Enjoy!

Wahoo! We got to share our learning with the whole school.

Yes... the wonderful learners in Room 1 worked really hard to share our learning with the whole school. 
We shared poems, a power point, song, dance and even some food in the staffroom with the school and our parents. Thank you Mrs Paton for joining us to celebrate our learning!
