Postcards

Today we explored communication and our environment.  We wondered how to inform others about what is happening to our oceans/environment.  We came up with making postcards to send off to others to inform them of how to care for/respect our environment.  Here are our finished postcards.
Great work Room 12.  They will be in the mailbox soon!

Team Speeches - Our class presentations will be next week

We recorded Rosalie's speech on our Team i-pod but I am not sure how to upload it without an error happening and I can't seem to rotate it the correct way.  I will keep working on it so keep watching this space.

 

Friday

Today we had tuakana/teina (Buddy Class) and it was awesome. Here we are with our buddies helping them with their learning and building friendships.

Thursday

We went and helped in Room 3 with their Family Play Corner.  We explored, investigated and designed a play area.  It is being built and installed on Tuesday next week.  What a great inquiry for Room 3 and Room 12.
Thanks Room 3 for letting us take part in this.

Wednesday

We were lucky to have Wairarapa Choir come and perform to us in our hall.  It was amazing.  It may have encouraged our students to take part in the Choir when they get to college.

On that same day, after morning tea, we had cross country and Room 12 had a lot of amazing results.
