On Wednesday of last week we had the chance to try out our miniball skills with Dallas from the Jack Robins Stadium. If you are interested in taking part in more sessions please contact Sheryl in the office. Have a look at how we got on and what a great 'can do' attitude we all had. Well done Room 11!
In the afternoon we looked at different types of sculpture and made our own paper shape sculptures. Check out our individual blogs to see the results.
We continued the 'Acquiring Knowledge" part of our inquiry topic by having a go at eating our morning tea blindfolded. We soon realised how taste and touch helped us to work out what we were eating. We also wrote effective questions to ask our visually impaired expert when they visit us next Tuesday.
As this has been Maori Language week we have shared a number of different Te Reo activities. Elmas read us a story about finding friends called Hohepa te Puru (Joseph the Bul.l). He also taught us a counting game and we made a digital story of the counting song 'Tahi is One'
To finish off the week watched an episode of Sponge Bob in Maori.
Next week we will be revisiting the sound 'sh' and ordering words in sentences to make sense. Check out the Making Sense' game on the Roy The Zebra website accessible through 'links for kids' on our Nelson Central homepage. Our tricky words will be 'away' and 'when' and we will be writing instructions to make toast. In numeracy we will continue skip counting in 2's and learn about odd numbers. Our work on sculpture will continue using paper, this week we will be making fish.
