Week 2, Term 1

Room 17 had a super busy, fun week. They learnt how to use the chromebooks, high jump and how to problem solve in a group. The last picture shows our completed top playground. We are so lucky being so close to it!

Week 1 Term 1

This week our focus was on getting to know each other and learning about the Pinehill Way. We came up with some great classroom rules that we are using as our class treaty. Room 17 are currently reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl as our class chapter book. 

In Week 2 we will be learning about high jump as part of our first rotation in Athletics.

Reminder to all, please bring your hats everyday as it is very important in this hot summer. 

Class of 2016

Kia Ora, Room 17!

I hope you have had a SUPER holiday, I can't wait to hear about all the wonderful things you have done.

We have some extremely exciting things happening in Term 1, especially our Sleepover at School which is jam packed full of learning adventures.

I look forward to seeing all your lovely faces at school on Wednesday 3rd February!

Diwali Art

This week to celebrate the Indian culture we made Diwali art.

 First we used food colouring to dye the rice.

 Then we designed a Rangoli pattern onto our plates.

 Lastly we stuck the rice onto our patterns.

Pet Caterpillar

Over the next couple of weeks we shall see this beautiful creature change from a caterpillar to a butterfly. We took a vote to decide whether it would turn out to be a boy or girl. Have a look at the results.

Making Gingerbread Men

For writing we have been learning about instructions and sequences. As part of that we made gingerbread men to see if we could follow the instructions step by step. 

Calendar Art

Room 17's calendar art look great and I am so pleased that they will be able to share them. Whether it be by a diary, phone cover or calendar. These would make a good present for christmas. 

Thanks to FOPs at Pinehill School for all their help!
