Maths

With the triathlon happening today we have a much smaller class in Room 7. For maths today we played a card game called "Fishy Fishy". The game was looking at making ten and number bonds to 10. Like the card game go fish, in Fishy Fishy we had to make pairs of numbers but this time the pairs had to equal 10. A very easy game to play with a small group.

STEM

Today the wind and the rain brought a change of temperature to Lawrence. For today's STEM challenge (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) groups had the challenge of building a fort/tent to stay sheltered from the wind and rain. The only equipment students could use were: newspaper, masking tape and 2 other class objects. All members of the group had to fit in the shelter and stay warm and dry.

Berwick Camp 2019

We had a fantastic week at camp! Thank you very much to our parent helpers and Miss B for giving up their time to come with us. On Friday the children made a slideshow to summarise and share some pictures of our week. Enjoy!

Welcome to 2019!

Welcome to Room 7's blog for 2019! It has been a very busy couple of weeks with lots of sport to keep us active, as well as trying to get into routines in the classroom.

Everyone is very excited for camp next week! Let's hope we have great weather for it!

We had our triathlon event on Friday afternoon and what an awesome effort everyone put in to their event/s. I have heard from lots of people that it has been a great fundraiser for camp, so it might become a regular thing!

Here are some photos from the triathlon as well as some place value activities we have been doing for maths.

Volunteering!

This morning we went over to the community garden at the Health Centre as part of our volunteering project this term.

We weeded some of the gardens, dug up some ground to make new garden beds and we also planted some beans, strawberries, sweetcorn and sunflowers. We hope that what we did grows and that it will help the community in the near future!

Harold and Keeping ourselves safe with Constable Gordon

On Monday we had a busy day in and out of the Life Education Bus and having our first two sessions of Keeping Ourselves Safe, one of them being with Constable Gordon.

With Pip and Harold we were learning all about digital citizenship and being superheroes online AND offline!

There were some really powerful messages from them that hopefully your child/ren has come home and talked about with you.

Constable Gordon was teaching us about how we can keep ourselves safe in a variety of situations. We have two more sessions with her and then some other lessons we have to complete after she has visited us.

Camp 2018!

What a fantastic week we had at Tautuku last week! Thank you to all our amazing parents who came with us. We couldn't have done it without you!

Check out the slideshow the class made today highlighting the fun activities we did!
