The Exploration Station

 Mrs Lee is showing us a video about Cyber Safety.

 We choose a character and mounted it on a satay stick and green strip.

We are using our character to tell the cyber safety message.

Charlie is being videoed using the green screen.

 On day two we were learning how to move around a grid by giving directions.

 We drew arrows on our whiteboards for our buddy to follow to find a location.

 Here is Janessa  using "Scratch" giving instructions so that the cat can go places.

They were very exciting sessions in the Exploration Station!!!!

Publishing completed

 Anzac Art with Mrs Smith. Poppy prints, printed onto the lyrics of the National Anthem.

Our Anzac display in our room reminds us to remember .

 Our Marae Recounts surrounded by designs using mostly Koru patterns.

 Dia's recount was so detailed that the font needed to be teeny tiny to fit the story on the page.

 Here is Charlie's Scream Art which accompanies his story about things he is scared of.

We used a straw to blow the paint across the page. It made some children feel a little dizzy.

Anzac and Easter

For Easter we drew different patterns on a bunny outline. What amazing detail Molly!

For Anzac we constructed a poppy and glued it in the corner of our poem.

 We illustrated a paper bag to take home our baking in.

Mrs McElwee helped us measure out the ingredients in the morning. Here we are rolling and flattening our Anzac Biscuits. A big thank-you to Beth who took our cookies home to bake and package after discovering the oven no longer worked. They tasted delicious!!!

Gumboot Friday

A big thank you to all those who made a donation to Gumboot Friday and to all the Room 24 children who wore their gumboots. 

Nature Scavenger Hunt

                                    Here is the list of things to find and the cup to put them into

                                                        Finding three blades of grass

                                                            Finding a purple flower

                                                            Finding a glossy leaf

                                         About to find a white stone or a smooth grey stone

                                 The only pair to find a snail's shell and the snail was still inside.

On Friday after morning tea, in the beautiful weather, we had an outside Challenge. It was a Nature Scavenger Hunt. It was a fun, non academic activity. We had to find things like a sprinkle of sand and a small stick. It was a great thing to do on a gorgeous sunny day!
