Week 10 star Writers in Room 7

Wow what fantastic writers we have in Room 7. We have been learning all about how adding detail to our writing makes it more exciting. Our detail cards in the front of our books helps us to remember all the important information that needs to go into our writing. We are working really hard at writing longer and more interesting stories. Our two star writers from last week were Tyrell and Javana who both worked hard at adding detail to their writing.

Our orchard trip to R.J Flowers

We were so fortunate to be able to go to Mrs Buckmans family orchard and have a look around. We saw lots of interesting things when we were there including being lucky enough to go into the coolhouse. Do you know its only -4 degrees in there!

It was so cool to stand under the Kiwifruit plants. We learnt that Kiwifruit grow on vines and hang underneath the branches and leaves to protect themselves from the sun and rain.

Here was our class with our lovely helpers. Thank you so much parents for coming in to help us we wouldn't have been able to go without you.

At the end of our trip we got to pick a apple to eat for morning tea. We learnt to get all the spray off it we had to rub it on our tops really hard. This was so much fun and made the apples go really shiny! We loved our orchard trip and seeing for ourselves all the things we have learnt about this term.

Room 7 are such a neat bunch of students I throughly enjoy getting to know their personalities and can quite happily say they are a pleasure to teach!

We are now busy establishing our routines and I am currently completing testing on each child to establish the learning needs. It is important that children are attending school each day as this data collected is recorded and shared with teachers school wide.

We are swimming each day and this is a part of our Physical Education programme. Its amazing to see the development the students have done already!

We will be updating our blog regularly to share students work and the exciting things happening in Room 7!

Look forward to meeting everyone at our Family Night on Tuesday!

Have a great weekend.

Kind Regards
