Performing Music in Room 14

On Tuesday afternoon we performed piano, recorder and sopranino songs to the class. We felt nervous but the class was very supportive.

Bird Ball Making

We are making birdballs for the birds to eat because in the winter, birds don't have food to eat. In this picture, we are putting cereal in the lard. Our hands got very greasy so Mrs Barlow had to turn on the hot water tap so we could wash our hands.

Fractions

We have been learning fractions for maths we are starting to get really good at it. We love it so much, that we wish we could do it all day. We did a maths test on Friday for basic facts. Room 14 have been
busy practicing fractions for homework this week. This is a photo of Jessy doing her fractions with the sticks. We know that the bigger the number on the bottom (the denominator) the smaller piece or fraction.
We can use fractions in groups for example half of 10 equals 5. Mrs Barlow has been teaching us very well. We have had lots of fun. Room 14 have a fraction wall on the window. It is nearly maths time and we are excited. We have been doing maths fraction worksheets and small groups with the teacher.
Room 14 have been working on measuring too.

Room 14 and Mr Barnes Meeting.

We are trying to make more native birds come into our bush.
Jacques's Grandpa drew a bird feeder that we could make but it was too hard for us.
So we invited Mr Barnes to help us.
We invited Mr Barnes because he's a expert.
We had a meeting and we shared our ideas with him.
He said he could make it- but we don't expect him to make it too soon as he is very busy.

Thank you for reading.

Our Narrative Writing by Room 14

Rm 14 are writing a narrative by photos. Look at our wiki soon for our narratives. It would be a pleasure for you to look on our wiki. There might be some other things you might want to look at as well. We are doing a story about a place called toy land. We are using descriptive language in our narratives. On the day we took the photo's we had to bring toys. We are now writing our stories and we want to make them into movies. Here is a photo of one part of our story. What do you think is happening?

Stretch People finished!!

We have now finished our stretch people and they look fantastic. Then we wrote about our stretch people. Yewon's Stretch Person's name is Mrs Long and she loves to stretch to other buildings.
Jacques Stretch person' s name is Dan the devil dancer. He likes to eat teachers- which scares Mrs Barlow.
Our Stretch people are hanging up in Room 14 and you are welcome to see them.
Thankyou to Room 11 - our buddy class for helping us.

Stretch People

On Friday our class made Stretch People. It was exciting and Chloe made up a rhyme about the activity- it says "Jack in the box, Jack in the box, open the lid and out he pops".
Our teacher saw it in a book about making stretch people so that we could learn about measuring in centimetres. If we were not accurate in our measuring the bodies did not turn out right.
We did not finish our stretch people so we will show you a photo of the finished bodies soon.
Joe & Yong Chan took photos of our class doing the activity.
We needed lots of coloured paper and scissors and glue.
We enjoyed our stretch people making!
