Have you have you had your nature time today?

We have been learning all about Leap Years, we feel bad for all the babies born today who have to wait 4 years until the 29/2 is here again.

Leap Year - GoNoodle

Our Poetree is blooming with work

We have added our chameleons to our haiku,   we took photos of our lizard faces to use on a chameleon body.

Our ipads

We have been working on setting high standards, it is paying off!

Our Poetree

We wrote haiku poems today about chameleons.  We had to learn all about this camouflaging reptile before we wrote our poems, did you know they are carnivores?

The Metamorphosis Song

We are learning how to write a Recount, luckily we have had guests in Room 14 to write about - tadpoles!

We have learnt that tadpoles turn to floglets and then adult frogs; this process is called metamorphosis.  We even sang a metamorphosis song.  We have a song for everything in Room 14.

The tadpoles eat lettuce and frozen broccoli.  

Thanks to the Trembaths for letting us have your tadpoles today!

We will post some of our Recounts soon, they are still in the planning stages.

We tried this song today, we are going to be able to rock our tables in no time!

We made a bar graph using Google Sheets, it shows the months everyone in Room 14 were born.

Here is a map showing where everyone went on holiday at Christmas time

Two of our graphing super stars

We watched this video and then made our own tally chart to survey what Room 14's favourite pets are, dogs and cats were the winners!

We made tally charts and then graphed our results onto a bar graph

We needed to include a title, use a ruler and number and label our axes.

We Have Been Learning the Maori Alphabet Song

We have been learning our times tables by singing this rock song!

Student Support Station

Nicholas is busy helping Chanel at our Student Support Station, he is this week's leader.

We started in our Maths books today

We made tally graphs to find out Room 14's favourite pets

Creating our Class Treaty

We worked in groups to brainstorm our ideas 

Great ideas to help us all work together in a happy/safe class

We shared our ideas with the class

We made our Class Treaty and signed it like we saw them do on the Treaty of Waitangi

Settling into our New Class
