Playground art

We are learning to play safely on the playground outside as our topic for three weeks.

We made a mini playground for art and going to make puppets to demonstrate safe play next week.

Safety makes playing more fun!

Weather mobile

Last week we read a poem called weather and made a weather mobile for art on Friday.
We cut out weathers - sunny, rainy, thundery, cloudy, and a rainbow and decorated the paper plate with paints and pastels.

They are displayed in Room 10 brightening our classroom!

Teamwork

Look at the cool buildings that Matthew, Arlo, Rylee, Caleb, Travis, and Brandon made!

We are learning to use teamwork and cooperation skill when playing. 

When we want to play and join in, first, we need to ask if we can join. Then, we will ask again what we can do. Lastly, we listen to others' ideas and use kind words to play together!

"Can I please join in?"

"What can I do?"

"What do you want to play?"

"Would you like to do this?"

"What about this?"

These are some of questions that we practiced for building our teamwork and cooperation skill.

Science experiment

On Monday, Room 10 was invited to Room 7 for magical science experiment.

Some of our buddies in Room 7 prepared science experiment and demonstrated in each station.

They were thrilling fun and we had awesome time there. 

We hope we can try science experiment in Room 10 some day!

Making 5

In the last few weeks Room 10 was learning about ways to make 5.
There are some buddy numbers which make up 5.
These buddies are....
0 and 5,
1 and 4,
2 and 3!
If we write in mathematical equation, they look like...
0+5=5,
1+4=5,
2+3=5,
And they still make up 5 when the numbers swap places as long as they are in buddy pairs.

We played a short game where we had to find a number buddy that makes up 5!

Shapes

Room 10 are learning about different shapes. We learned 6 different shapes. They are triangles, circles, squares, rectangles, rhombus, and hexagons.

We chose 3 shapes and decorated them into our favourite ice cream flavours.

Aren't they look delicious?

Trip to the museum

On Wednesday, Year One classes went to the Auckland museum to learn more about insects.

We went to the Weird and wonderful education centre to learn about insects and bugs. We learned that spiders are called arachnids, the difference between moths and butterflies, and many more!

After the morning tea, we got to walk around the museum to explore some other things as well such as volcanoes, air new zealand exhibition.

It was super fun and we saw lots of amazing things at the museum.

Room 10 Selfies

Come and visit Room 10 and have a look at our creative selfies!

Introducing our buddy class!

On Fridays we have a buddy class with Room 7.

We painted our wooden shield which Mr. Mac made for all of us. We followed and listened to our buddy's instructions - how to hold a paint brush, where to start, and how to paint.

We really enjoyed painting our shield together. Next week, we are going to glue the pictures of things we like on our shield to complete "All about me shield".

We love buddy class! Thank you Mr.Mac for making lots of cool shields! You rock Mr.Mac!
