End of School Year Reflections

Our final Hands-On-Homework for 2014 was to fill out an end of year reflections. It was such a pleasure to read these and I'm amazed at how thoughtful the comments were. I have picked out all the key words and made some wordles. The first one is all the answers from the following questions:

• My favourite activity this year and why
• I had the most fun when
• What I liked most about my class and teacher
• What I'll miss the most and why
• Things I learned the most this year

The bigger the word, the more students that choose that as an answer. Thank you to all the students that completed their reflections!

Another question was for students to give a piece of advice to students for next year.

Neive's 5SC Entry

"Come on, hurry up old slow lady, I need to get some juicy apples."
"Come on boy, I'm so starving."
"Excuse me mum, please, please, please buy me this shiny juicy apple."
The grapes were hanging upside down like naughty monkeys.
"Would you like to buy these nice ripe oranges?" asked the shopkeeper.

Dinosaur Home Learning

For our last week of Term 3, Room 17 had a special home learning challenge to complete. They were given a sheet with different types of activities to do, all about dinosaurs. Some students chose to make dinosaur cages, others made dinosaur food and designed new types of dinosaurs. It was great to see all the different creations!

5SC - Neive's Entry

The blue sky looked like it was going to explode with rain. The birds were floating in the sky. The village clock tower went tick tock. The kids were so excited to jump on the red and white bus. It's so relaxing sitting on this seat reading the newspaper.

Reading about Dinosaurs

The Tui's reading group have been practicing reading information and highlighting facts. Today they split in to two smaller groups and read about a dinosaur. Neive, Grace and Helen (from Room 19) read about Ankylosaurus. They shared some of the facts they read using Puppet Pals.

Colouring Competition

Room 17 love Go Noodle! We try and noodle it every day. At the moment Go Noodle are running some champ challenges. The first was to use these colouring pictures. Last Friday we chose our favourite champ and coloured them in. Miss Bullen was our judge and she chose her favourites. Congratulations to Neive, Jordan, Zack, Olivia and Jake B for your fabulous colouring.

Teach Me Tuesday Week 1 Term 3

It was all about paper folding for this weeks Teach Me Tuesday. Eric taught us how to fold plain paper to make a stand up monster.  Neive bought in colourful stacks of crepe paper and string and had us all making paper roses. Fantastic teaching guys!

Popplet Challenge

It's time for another Digi Challenge.  This time we used Popplet to organise our ideas.  We had to invent something that would help us be sustainable in the future. The Room 17 students all did an AMAZING job but I could only pick 4 to share. Here are inventions from Eric, Zander, Hugh, Josie and Neive.  Can you spot Digi?

Comic Genius!

What great fun we had on Friday reading the comics some Room 17 students did.  Some students drew their own and some used websites like Make Belief Comix. All in all we had a good giggle reading the different stories each comic told.
