Room 7's Botanic Garden Trip

Room 7 went to the Auckland Botanic Gardens on the 17th November, 2015.

We learnt how compost is made naturally using FBI - Fungus, Bacteria and Invertebrate and how to make our own worm farm and compost bin.

We were very tired at the end but we had an amazing day!

"I liked the egg because everyone was sitting in it. 

Daniel was sitting in it and Bailey and Nirosh."

My Writing

Term 1, 2015

This is my writing at the beginning of the year.

Term 4, 2015

Look what I can write now!

This term I have been learning to use punctuation such as full stops, comma's and speechmarks and write more than one idea with details related to the topic.

I am very proud of my writing.

Parking lot

We are learning to look at the first and last sounds in words. 

"I look at the first and last sound of new words. 
It helps me read them." 

Painted Paper Bouquets

LI: We are learning to mix and blend primary colours.

First we mixed primary colours together to make new colours then we

blended them together to paint our vase and petals. Next we used watercolours to paint our flowers and then we put it all together.

What's the time?

LI: We are learning to tell the time to the hour and half past.

"We made clocks. My clock says 9 o'clock."

Sharing fairly

We have been looking at fractions like halves and quarters and I have been learning to share one whole object fairly between 2 and 4 friends. 

This can be tricky sometimes when I have to share one object with 4 people, 

so we practised how we could do this by cutting our dough ball and pizza's into 4 equal pieces.

"I can cut it in 2."

My jellybean...

I am learning to use desribing words and add detail to my story writing.

"I can add lots of detail to my writing."

Sounding out new words

I am learning to sounds out new words.

I know I can look at and sound out the beginning and end letters of new words. I can robot the sounds as well - this helps to read new words.

100 days smarter!

Room 7 celebrated our 100th day of learning,

 we are now 100 days smarter!

Look at my learning!

On Thursday 25th June 2015, we had our Student Led Conference. 

This was a night where I got to show my family all my wonderful learning 

that I do in Room 7 and how clever I am. 

I enjoyed showing them my work and I was proud of all my learning.

Playing with my ball

I am learning to publish my writing on Kidpix.

"I liked writing on the computer."

High-word-way

I am learning to sound out and read my words.

"I can read the words and make the sounds."

Scooter Skills day

I am learning how to be safe on my scooter when I ride on the footpath and past sneaky driveways. It was tricky to remember to stop at the sneaky driveways, but I stopped and walked my scooter past each time.

Alien Addition

I am learning to add two numbers together to make a group of 10.

It can be tricky to find the right numbers to put together to make a group of 10.

"I can make 10."

I am...

I am learning to write the word ‘I am’ in my story. I am learning to find new words in and around our classroom. I am proud of my story writing. 

The next step for me might be to remember my finger spaces.

Maths

I am learning to know groupings within five.

"Two beans and three more is five."

Reading

I am learning to know my alphabet letters and sounds.

"I can play the ABC letter game."

Swimming

Room 7 is having a fun time learning to swim in term 1. 
Our swimming days are on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

We are learning to get dressed and undressed by ourselves

and enter and exit the pool safely.

"I can blow bubbles in the water."
