Tias wellness cake

I made a wellness cake because we are studying wellness. I put all the new things I have learnt about wellness into my cake and turned it into a video. Thanks to mum and dad for helping me.

Enjoy my video :)

What have we learnt about Wellness so far

We made up new Enduring understandings today to see what we have learnt about Wellness. Then we isted all the new things we have learnt in wellness.

We had a little giggle when we compared them to what we learnt in week one and two.

Tapawha have mastered the number line.

FRIDAY JUMP JAM!!!!!

Here is a little snippet of how we rock the D FLOOR on  a Friday morning! 

Web conferencing with room 2

We had so much fun Web conferencing Room 2 today. We had to organise our roles, then we had to organise our selves to make sure we were prepared to complete the job.

We worked together as a team and it flt good to not argue with anyone in our team. Research and writing team worked really well under pressure.

We are really proud of how we set everything up and were prepared so that everything went smoothly.

The juniors loved it.

Whanaungatanga

Room 1 had the pleasure of having our other two whanau classes in our class. Room 14 the year 1 & 2 whanau class and room 21 the year 3 & 4 whanau class. 

We meet every morning on Mondays and every Afternoon on Fridays. 

WHANAU are more than welcome to come and join with karakia and Waiata.

Room 1 has been learning to make our writing more interesting by using compound sentences. 

We wrote a description of our class using our new writing skill (compound sentences). 

Some of us got to make adobe voice videos. 

AWESOME MAHI ROOM 1!!!!!

Jeffrey the butterfly

When you want to catch a butterfly you need to wait for it to fly on a branch or the ground. Then you sneak up on it like this (sneaky walking). Then you grab it softly with your hand and it will fly onto you and stick onto your finger. They cant fly very fast. But you need to let it go onto a flower so it can have more baby caterpillars. I hope this ones wing heals soon.

Values!

Room 1 looked at some of the values that would make our classroom feel safe and comfortable.

Welcome to our year 5 & 6 whanau class blog. I am looking forward to starting this new journey with Room 1 in becoming a confident Maori learner and to help our tamariki to succeed as Maori. This is a new journey for me too so I am very excited. 

This is our blog we will be updating weekly with things like kids work, successes, questions, research etc. 

I hope you enjoy using our blog as much as we will. 

I cannot wait to meet our tamariki and will ensure they have an awesome year.
