And here we are --- at the Observatory, ask the children and they will explain what the pictures are about!

                                      

                                      

                                      

Lunch   ... we sat on the flying fox runway, it was locked ...  to the children's dismay!

Outside fractions...

We're trying to solve the problem.... If Mrs Nankivell had 4 children and you could only see one quarter of them, how many has she got altogether... And no, the answer is not too many!

Night and day

Our preliminary thoughts about night and day...

Fractions

We have been discussing halves and quarters; Ben, Olivia, Ella and Annabel talk about halves and quarters, Fletcher and Caleb talk about sharing 3 pieces of bread between 4 people - Fletcher knew exactly what to do until I videoed him... he then lost his words!

Shoelaces

Samuel was so proud of being able to tie his shoelaces on his new shoes, he burst into the class this morning and demonstrated.   Thank you to his awesome whanau for teaching him, (mum, dad or nana)!  It makes my job easier. Thank you also to the lovely children in room 7, two of them in the photo, Melissa and Sophie, who took the time to watch him.  Room 7 children are awesome... Kind and caring...thank you!

Fractions, fractions, fractions...

We are talking about fractions, we discussed halves and quarters... With fairy bread

Autumn Art

We collected autumn leaves and learnt how to draw filling the page, with 3 large leaves.  We then used artistic license to colour with pastels showing bright autumn colours.  We finished by dying them.

Autumn

We have been talking about Autumn, we collected Autumn leaves and we wrote about Autumn.  We are also going to draw Autumn leaves, watch this space!
Go to "Our Writing" tab at the top and click on it to read Yasmin and Dylan's writing about autumn...it is excellent writing!

We are enjoying our two new boys to the class - welcome Nicholas and Brandon.

We discovered that toadstools and mushrooms grow in Autumn.

Maths surveys...

We've been enjoying gathering information on favourite colours, pets, and other things about us, making graphs and learning to make statements with the information.

Grandparents day

Thank you grandparents for coming and sharing the day with us, we loved having you!
