Welcome back everyone, I hope you have all had a relaxing break. In the last week of the holidays I a long with a few other teachers attended a 4 day U-Learn conference in Rotorua. We were given the chance to meet teachers from all over New Zealand and other countries. It was a great opportunity to get to know other teachers and share each others knowledge and how their schools integrate technology learning in their own classrooms. I plan to implement and teach the children some new tools that they will be able to use in our next topic. As a teacher I would just like to say how proud I am and how impressed other teachers were when they looked at the work and different skills our children are already using compared to so many other schools.Our topic for this term is  media type="custom" key="10983254"

Come and help us with our mini group of inquiries about different buildings and structures in New Zealand. Please post as many comments as you can. What interesting facts can you share with us. media type="custom" key="10984776"

What a fabulous move and groove we had, a very big thank you to Mrs Fernandes for teaching us the fabulous Cook Island Welcoming drum Dance. We all worked really hard and we all had so much fun.

The children in room 4a want to welcome you to their class. We look forward to sharing our work with you, please feel free to leave a nice happy comment. Snails Snails Snails watch them go!

On your mark get set get ready GO! They were off and we were cheering and shouting GO GO GO! It is just as well that snails are deaf. We were surprised to see them play and climb all over each other. Jerry and Danielles snails took the competition much more seriously and they decided to challenge each other while Danielles snail loved climbing over a pencil Jerrys snail decided to go down the slide that Zaria suggested make how cute. After a while the snails seemed to be very tired so being the responsible caring children we are we took them down to our special pet hotel that Mr Rhodes made for. We know that it is okay to look and investigate different mini-beasts but they must always be treated with respect and kindness and returned back to their own environment.

Thursday afternoon was fantastic because we were all minibeast detectives. It was so exciting because Mrs Warburton took us outside to look for minibeasts. We had a good look at our worm farm and the compost heap. The worm farm and the the compost heap work really hard to keep our gardens nice and healthy. We discovered back in the classroom that we had collected worms, slaters, earwigs, ants and a centipede. We were all very gentle with our minibeasts and when we had finished looking at them we returned them all to their homes. We know that each minibeast is needed and has their own special job. Thank you Mrs Warburton we look forward to the next time.

The photos below are photos taken with our year 4 buddy reading class. We meet once a week on a Tuesday afternoon and listen to each other read.

Parents please be aware that when the children work on their own wiki it is not always edited by the teacher. This is their work which you compare as the year goes on.
