Siapo Patterns

Here are a few of our Siapo patterns.

Inquiry - a little science experiment

So, what do you predict is going to happen to the water in the cup?

Room 6 have been discussing the water cycle and we have tried to recreate how a water cycle works in this plastic bag. We have made predictions about what might happen. Make sure you ask us what we think is going to happen so we can explain it to you!!

Samoan Language Week


It is Samoan Language Week and we have started with a bang!

Today we began to make Siapo patterns which represent birds in flight and their footprints, and we also learnt how to ask and respond to 'What is your name?'.

Our goal is to be able to say this by the end of the week, why dont you have a go?

What's your name? 
O ai lou igoa?

My name is ... 
O lo'u igoa o ...

Reading logs & spelling words

Just a reminder about reading logs and spelling words.

A handful of students are forgetting to bring their book logs back in to class each day, or have in fact lost them completely. This means they are bringing home their spelling words and book logs written out on a piece of paper to ensure they are able to note down what they are reading (remember this can be a school book, library book, magazine, newspaper, online reading, recipe..the list is endless) and practise their spelling words each day.

Please remind your children that they need to bring this everyday, not only for their own learning but so they can increase the amount of the Class Dojo points the class is accumulating :)

Mathletics

Don't forget that Mathletics is a great way to help improve your maths knowledge and strategies. If you can, complete your two set tasks at home each night, or on the class computers before school begins to earn extra Class Dojo points :)

Anti-bullying week 2016

Today we worked with our buddy class Room 5 to make some videos about bullying. Next week we will edit them and hopefully post some on our blog for you to have a look at!

It's anti-bullying week and we've had lots of discussions about what bullying is, how we can stop it and what we do if we feel like someone is being bullied.

Have a look at some of our great t-shirt designs to promote anti-bullying.







Be sure to come and have a look at our window display :)

Hundertwasser spiral art

It took Room 6 a lot of perseverance this afternoon to carefully, delicately and patiently create spiral circles using glue and wool. WOW, they did amazing! Have a look at some of the awesome creations they came up with :)
 





A taster of what our Hundertwasser backgrounds are going to look like. Using warm colours created with red, yellow and white, Students created curved line backgrounds in preparation for the spiral flowers we will make this week.





A few pics from our ANZAC day trench experience. Students had to do silent reading in a cramped, hot and restricted space. It was discussed afterwards that the trenches would have been a hard place to have had to live in during the war.



Week 2 update

A huge well done to Room 6 for reaching 1000 Class Dojo points last Friday. Room 6 students have decided that they will aim for 5200 Class Dojo points by week 10, so on average they need to get at least 500 points each week. Students can receive points for a range of different things including: showing integrity, displaying key competencies, being on task, completing their reading logs and home spelling words and even being a helpful member of Room 6 (amongst many other things)! The student who receives the most points by week 10 will be able to choose a movie for Room 6 to watch when they reach 5200 points - exciting!!

If you don't have a log in for Class Dojo, please send me a message and I will make sure you receive log in details for your child's Class Dojo account :)
