HP Reveal

Hi there we have been learning about different types of wakas. Here we have made an HP reveal about our learning. If you want to see our learning pop out you will have to download the HP Reveal app on your phone, or I-pad. You will also have add MRS Room 13 to the follow part of your profile.

We love using HP Reveal. It is hard but it encourages us to be resilient. Hope you enjoy watching our HP Reveal.

Taste test

Wow we enjoy doing Science experiments
Today we did the taste test. We tasted sugar water, salt water, vinegar with water and coffee water. The sugar was the only taste we enjoyed. During this experiment we learnt about that the taste buds on our tongue identify sweet, sour, salty and bitter. We also learnt our tongue is a muscle that helps us with eating and talking.
Here are some photos about our experiment.

EOTC week

Wow week 8 of Term 1 already and we are enjoying our Education outside the Classroom.
On Monday we went on an insect hunt, after learning about what an insect looks like.

On Tuesday we joined our Puriri Team for Tabloid sports. It was fast paced and a lot of fun.

Wednesday we completed our insect mural and Miss Petrus managed to get green paint on her when the wind blew our painting onto her. We also went to play in the park with the children from Room 2. What fun we had.

Yay on Wednesday we finally got to join the rest of the Kauri team at camp. What fun we had flying on the flying fox, climbing the huge as wall, shooting arrows, cooking on the hobo stove and completing an obstacle  course. We were sad to leave after lunch, but we diid have a good time.

And to end our week of we had an extra long time in the pool where we practiced all the things we learnt during our term of swimming.

Chinese Zodiac

Hi there Room 13 have been learning about the animals in the Chinese Calendar. They have read the story and watched the story on a videoThese animals were chosen because they took in a race and Rat won. The children in Room 13 have made an animated slideshow and used screen castify to explain the story. Please click on the childrens' individual blogs to see their stories.

Swimming

May Road School has been lucky to have swimming coaches at school. We have been learning to stay safe in and around water. We have enjoyed using the life jackets.

Here are a few photos of us in the swimming pool.

On the first day on swimming there was coaches in the pool.  They taught us how to swim properly. They taught us how to float on our backs. Then they taught us how to do the mushroom.  We had fun and gained confidence in the water with them helping us,
