Dear Room 6...

Dear Room 6,

Kia Ora, hello!!! I hope you are all enjoying the holidays with your whanau. I have finally made it to Canada after a 42 hour journey! 

I watched three movies on the massive Air New Zealand plane from Auckland to Vancouver! One of them was called Home, has anyone seen it? 

Now I am home with my parents and my dog Chilly (who turned 15 on 1 July- as you know). He is happy I am back and I have told him and my parents all about amazing Room 6! 

It is summer here and it was 27 degrees today! I have gone for one swim so far but have mostly been relaxing on the beach with my Mom and Dad and riding around on their jetski!

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday. I miss you very much but am SO excited for you to start school with Mrs.Willox!!

Multiplication!

We have been learning about arrays and how they help us solve multiplication problems! Here we are using mine craft to build arrays! 

Jack did 4 x 3 which is the same as 4+4+4 or 3+3+3+3 ! The answer is 12!

Sophie did 6 x 3! Which is the same as 3+3+3+3+3+3 or 3x6 and 6+6+6!

Crunch Crunch Crunch was all you could hear coming from Room 6 today!
This morning we got to go to the hall and make SNOWBALLS! First we got into our groups and made sure we had all of the ingredients. Then we took turns measuring the ingredients and mixing them together. Mrs. Frost and Mrs. Ritchie helped us too!! Here is a short video to show how much fun we had! :)

Bike Track!!!

We were so excited to use the bike track today!! It's open Monday, Wednesday and Friday! Miss Dobbin got a few photos today but we will be taking many more!

Today it started to SNOW! We were so excited we got to run outside for a few seconds to see and feel it!! We are going to write senses poems about it tomorrow!
We have thought of SO many ideas already!!

Laptop Afternoon!

We had the laptops this afternoon and we have been practicing our spelling, maths-working with money and our typewriting skills! Here we are having fun learning online! 

This is a Spelling game called Torture the teacher! It's one of our favourites!

This is a typewriting skills game! Tamsin was typing through space! 

Trey was busy sorting colours and using the big interactive white board! 

Eden really liked it too!

We are KAKARIKI

Today we read a story about Tim Yendall. He was born without arms. He had to learn how to write with his mouth and feet!! Ty and River tried to do it with their toes and look how they wrote their names !
