Congratulations to our ASB team that competed at the Rec centre today. They did a fantastic job and ended up coming 4th overall. You should all be proud of yourself! Special thank-you to Frances and Emma who helped out and coached the team. We really appreciate it.
OH HOW WE ALL LOVE THE SUN IN ROOM 6! We have made the most of the wonderful weather in Ahaura this week by taking the opportunity to learn outside. We are so lucky to have the yellow shade area and different materials to allow us to learn in the sun. How relaxed and happy do these students look while learning.
We have started a new programme in Maths in Room 6. After receiving some students voice on different activities they wanted to complete in maths, together we created something called 'Maths Bingo'. Every 2 week the children in Room 6 receive a new bingo sheets full of different activities they can be doing when they are not with the teacher. There are a range of different activities from worksheets to hands on activities, that cover a range of units. For example: This week we have focused on number knowledge in basic facts and fractions as well as measurement. Check out some of these photos of the student in Room 6 learning in fun ways.
We have a team of 9 students heading into town on Monday 24th of August to compete in the ASB netball tournament. What better way to practice than to verse a team of competitive teachers. It was a very tough game as the student team was full of energy. After the first quarter they gained a nice lead. However the teachers made a come back in the 3 quarter. As the teachers started to get tired the students never lost their energy and ended up winning by 2 points. Overall it was a fun game full of heaps of laughing.
Today we helped Sue out in the garden. We are looking at how we can use different objects in the school garden. Sue located a range of things we could put to great use and asked Room 6 if we could help her move them. Keep an eye out for a photo of these different resources and how we have used them when planting different plants.
Today Room 6 was lucky enough to join Room 5 on their farm visit to the Coates Farm. We were so lucky and learnt so much while we were there. We went into the deer sheds to see how the velvet was removed and then went into the shearing sheds. This was a great learning experience out side of school that is related to our term 3 topic. We are investigating the science behind our food. We will be sharing our own investigations on our blogs soon so keep posted.
