Get Set Go!

We have been learning how to throw during Get Set Go! We have learnt to throw by standing on our side, doing a muscle man, then pointing to where we want the ball to go. We learnt that if we throw over arm the ball will travel much further.

Book Week 2016!

What an amazing week we have had. One of our favourite speakers was Stu Duval. Check out his amazing website! http://www.studuval.co.nz/

Our Musical Instruments

Have a look at some of the instruments we made for homework. 

Technology

Our topic this term has been about technology and 'how stuff works'. We read the story The Ginger Bread Man and realised he had a need! He needed a bridge or a boat to get across the river safely. We designed out model first in our topic book and decided what materials we would need. We had to think about the strength of our design. 

On Tuesday we started to make our bridges and boats. We tested out different ways the materials could stick together. There was a lot of testing. 

Gabrielle's Visit

On Wednesday the 8th of June, Room 4 was lucky enough to have Gabrielle come in to talk to us about architecture. We pretended to be 'little birds' and drew our own room design from a birds eye view. After we had stuck them all together we realised we had designed a mansion! Our favourite room was the 'treasure' room.

Samoan Language Week

Last week we celebrated Samoan language week. We were so lucky because Mrs Fala bought in some coconut rice for everybody to try. It was delicious!! 

More Measurement!

Today we enjoyed measuring things around the room using our ice cream sticks. We especially enjoyed being able to see how many sticks long we were.
