Corbans Estate Arts Centre

Today Room 7 & 8 went on our trip to the arts centre. When we took part in a workshop called 'My Story Rocks'. 
First children painted river pebbles with white paint and then they designed some symbols that represented things that are special to them. The kids had lots of good ideas and it was really cool to hear the stories they were sharing about themselves. After designing their symbols the kids drew them on their pebbles and decorated a calico bag to keep their 'story rocks' in.

Finn the Movie star dog This week Jimmy's pet dog Finn came for a visit. He has starred on the movie 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' and adverts amongst other things. We really enjoyed the visit and had fun writing about Finn as well as learning how to draw dogs like Finn. Go to    https://youtu.be/WhC0FztMXcU  to see Finn in an advert. Finn came to our classroom. He is nine. He has Jimmy for his owner. He is black, brown, white. He is a movie star and has his own bank account. He doesn’t let the ball go. Finn is a big dog not a little dog. Jessie Finn came in our classroom. He sat down and stood up and he didn’t bite anyone. He didn’t because he was friendly. He was old. We love Finn because he can talk. We want him to come back. Dante

Welcome to Room 7 2018

Welcome to Room 7 in 2018 We have had a great first week in Room 7. It's been lovely to meet all the children and their families. We have been focused on getting to know each other and setting up our classroom routines. We wrote about our summer holiday and our Waitangi weekend this week. We learnt about how to keep ourselves safe in the sun and created a classroom treaty in which we all agreed to work towards a safe and happy classroom. We had fun talking about what we want to be when we grow up and had a brainstorming session talking about what we think learning is; our purpose for being at school. In Maths, we are currently learning about collecting data and presenting it on graphs in our Statistics focus.   We had our first P.E session in the Gym with Room 8 last Friday. We really enjoyed playing games and using our problem solving skills to work together to complete team challenges.
