Room 7: Demolition Day!

What an exciting morning at school today! We watched part of the old Junior Block being demolished. 

    

Room 21: Insects

Last week Room 21 started the term learning about insects.  Our big book was called 'Stick Insects'.  We had many questions, such as where can stick insects be found, and what do they eat?  

On Tuesday we went on a nature trail and explored the school playground.  We were looking for good places to find stick insects.  We also collected different kinds of sticks to create our own stick insects in the classroom.

Room 7: Daffodil Day

Look at these very excited children from Room 7 getting ready for the Daffodil Day concert today. Many thanks to all those who were able to come to the concert and stay to enjoy the food and fun with the children.

Rambo the Lamb

In term 1 the Tui team had a visit from Mrs Rush's daughter Melissa, who is an SPCA animal inspector.  Today she sent us this video clip of a lamb called Rambo, who she rescued last week.

Room 7: 100 Days at School

This week we have been celebrating 100 days at school.

We had a 100 piece Lego challenge today - what a great thing to do on a rainy morning at school! Each group had 100 assorted pieces of Lego, and they worked together to construct one collaborative item out of their pieces.

The children shared their ideas, worked together, took turns, negotiated and problem-solved.  What a group of motivated, engaged learners Room 7 are!
