Friends from Japan

Last week we made some new friends from Japan. Our friends are students at NMIT and they came to look at what a New Zealand school is like. In our drama lesson we helped them join in with a mirror task and back in the class they showed us some Japanese origami and saw how mazing we are at maths.


This week we will be learning the letter sounds 'g' and 'o' and the tricky words 'her' and 'go'. In maths we will continue to practice counting back from 10 and then 20. Check out our rocket maths display in the classroom. You can see our planet paintings close up on the Room 11 Kidz Stuff blog.

On Tuesday a special visitor will be coming to talk to us about worm farms and how they are good for our environment. On Thursday we are off to the Suter Gallery to look at the exhibition "White Gold" and learn how developing the perfect herd of cows is a bit like learning to work together as a team in the classroom. To find out more about the exhibition go to http://thesuter.org.nz/. Due to the falling temperatures there will be no more swimming lessons for Room 11 and this week we will be working on developing our small ball skills.
