Roti Making

Today Room 1 made roti with Diya's mum (Diya from Room 12) and Kirpal's mum (from Room 6 Hub). The students split into 2 groups and I sent Ryleigh and Hayley Rotherham over with their chromebooks to take some photos. I think the girls did a great job. Ryleigh thanks very much for creating this slideshow.
PS Everyone loved the potato roti - thanks very much.

Replying to Comments

In this activity I was learning how to reply to blog comments. In this slideshow you will be able to find out for yourself what a reply must, should and could include. Please check out other student's blogs from Room 1's.

Quality Blog Comments

Anglea has been teaching us that blog comments need to be positive, thoughtful and helpful. Taya was the first to finish her comments on four student's blogs in our class. Check out the comments that she made on each of her four blog posts and make a comment. As soon as the rest of the class has completed their quality blog comments they will be uploaded to their blog also.

Turning Negative Comments Into Positive Comments

Ryleigh in Room 1 was reading a negative comment and turning it into a positive comment. I think Ryleigh you have thought carefully and turned your negative comment into a great positive comment. I look forward to your feedback, so please write a comment on this post.

Posting Public and Private Information Online

Kaizer in Room 1 created a word cloud to show what information should be posted online privately and publicly. I look forward to your feedback, so please write a comment on this post.

Quality Blog Posts

This is one of my student's work (Josiah) where we were learning what to include in a Quality Blog Post. I have posted this because it is easy to read, follow and understand. I look forward to your feedback, so please leave a comment on this post.

Home Links and Writing Books

Term 3 Homework is going to include some Maths Homework as well as your spelling lists sent home at the end of Term 1 and a reader and/or chapter book each night. There will also be some handwriting practise.

Please make sure you have a Home Links exercise book which is a 1i5 and also a new Writing Book which is also a 1i5 if you have finished your first Writing Book or have almost finishedit as it is nice to have all of your writing in one spot and not on loose pieces of paper until you purchase a new book.

I hope you are enjoying the holidays - I took Michael and Nadia to the Royal Reserve at Massey yesterday and the playground was fantastic - but even more impressed with the bike/scooter track (that was definitely the highlight). Pizza Hutt is just close by at Westgate or someone recommended Toby's Takeaways close by. They even have a couple of bbqs if you take your own food to cook.

On Playground Auckland

Royal reserve
Massey

An amazing feature papatākaro(playground) that has a lot to offer. To many cool things to list. Watch the vid and seefor yourself😃What’s not in the video is a massive retireti(slide(not open as yet), public wharepaku(toilets), huge fields and 4 covered bbqs. Our Whanau(family) spent a couple of hāora(hours) there having a great time. There are still areas blocked off to let the grass grow. Take your scooters or bike as there’s a great area for learning to ride. The papatākaro caters for ages 6months-100years. Have a great time.

Variety Show Performance

After performing to PCS students on Friday after a busy week. Well done Room 1. We could not have done without help - thank you to Anita (Alex's mum) for working with the students on their routine and doing our make-up - it looked fantastic!, Christelle (Amani-Grace's mum) for doing the make-up on the children and for the amzing headbands (ears), Keri (Logan's mum) for helping with the make-up too. 

Thank you also to Hayley Rotherham and Atlanta Taylor for creating their own dog ears - they looked wonderful. Thank you also Amani-Grace for creating the lovely headbands for the sheep. A big shout out to all the parents/caregivers that got the student's costumes organised - I know some gumboots etc had to be bought and especially for making it possible for the students to be at the night shows. We couldn't have done without them - it was very much appreciated.
