Caterpillars and Butteflies

There has been a rather large swan plant outside Room 1 that has been a busy place for caterpillars this year. We have spent lots of time looking, searching, noticing and photographing each stage of the life cycle. We have made Explain Everything slides about the life cycles and when MG finds out how to share them, she will put them onto our blog. For now there is a little video with some of the amazing photos we took.

Go 4 It

In term 1 we had Hit it with ?. Our first session was Hockey. Ellie and Tama made a Magisto video with the photos. It was really hot weather, so we were pleased that Room 1 went first each week. 

It's been a great day with Cross Country. The weather was superb and there were some fantastic contests for places in the races. Certificates will be given out at next Friday's assembly. Those that didn't get to go home early had some down time with MG.

Using Magisto

Jameson is the resident Magisto movie maker so he is in charge of teaching children how to use this simple movie making programme. Today he worked with Gabriel and they made a movie using photos from last term's school swimming sports.

Last day with Miss Andrews

It was a fun day with Miss Andrews today. Lots of effort went into making 3D shapes and finishing her time with us with lots of sparkles and treats. She will be missed by everyone in Room 1 and we wish her all the best for the rest of her studies.

Science with Miss Andrews

This term we are exploring the water cycle and learning about the states of water. Here are photos of an experiment for evaporation.

ANZAC Day with Miss Andrews

Miss Andrews has created a wonderful display for ANZAC Day commemorations. Each child made a poppy for our class wreath which we took to the school assembly. After Anzac Day, the children wrote letters to a soldier which showed some of what they had learnt about the experiences of an Anzac soldier going to war.
