An Icy Morning

This morning Kyle discovered that his pond was frozen over with thick ice. He brought 3 pieces to school to show us. We were surprised at how thick the ice was. We wondered how fast the ice would melt if we put it in different places. We put one piece in the shade near the playground, another piece outside our classroom in the sun, and the third piece we left in our classroom.
At the end of the day we checked to see what had happened to the ice.  The piece that was inside had completely melted. The one that was in the sun had melted a little bit, and the one that was in the shade had hardly melted at all.   
It only got to 5 degrees today, so we are not surprised that the ice that was left outside did not melt very much.
Something to try at home:
Perhaps you might like to put a plastic container of water outside and see what happens?  You might like to try this with several containers and experiment with different amounts of water. After a very cold night see what happens?

Matariki Writing

We have been writing about Matariki. Here are some examples of our younger childrens ideas.

Learning how to use 'Keynote'

We read a  story called 'The Day the Crayon's Quit'. It is about a boy called Duncan whose crayons are tired of colouring the same old things. Duncan decides to surprise his crayons and uses them to colour different things. As a result, he creates a really interesting picture. 

We decided to draw pictures to surprise our own crayons.

Then we used 'Keynote' to record ourselves talking about our pictures. We have been learning how to use 'Keynote' independently, to share our work and record ourselves. 

Listen to Avie and Kyle share their pictures.

A super effort with your writing today Kyle. You are working so hard. We hope your dog gets better soon.

Tiddler Stories

We have been reading stories by Julia Donaldson.

We really enjoyed the story about ‘Tiddler’ the story telling fish. Tiddler was always making up stories to explain why he was late to school. 

We pretended that we were Tiddler and have written our own stories to explain why we were late. Tiddler would be very proud of our stories.

A Special Welcome

A very special welcome to our new Year 1 children who have come through from Room 5 to join us this term. Miss Tyrell has told me what super learners you are, so I'm very excited about getting to know you all better. I'm sure everyone in Room 6 will make you feel very welcome.
