Here are a view glimpses into another busy week in Room 10.
On Monday Finn's dad came in at the end of the day to read us a story. This was so much fun that we would love to see other people coming in to read a story. There is a sign up list on our notice board for anyone who would like to take part in this.
We are also ready to have parent helpers in during lesson times. If you would like to come in and help by listening to children read, preparing activities, sticking work into books and a whole range of other tasks, please have a chat with us. Again there is a timetable on the class notice board to sign up for a regular slot.
In maths this week we made a graph about our pets. The most popular pets were cats and the most unusual was Kaydyn's water snail.
Friday was the much anticipated Purple Cake Day. There was so much going on and plenty of happy faces. The school raised over a $1000 for the Purple Cake Day charity, well done! You can get a feel for what we got up to on Friday by watching this video.

We have continued work on our portraits by adding the correct skin colours. Our next step is to add the details.
In ICT we learnt how to use the Tuxpaint program to draw a colourful pig. Check out our drawings and stories on the Kidzstuff blog linked in the side bar of this page. You can download Tuxpaint for free at this site http://www.tuxpaint.org/

Hello Room 10. This is Fin's Opa again. Hi Fin.
ReplyDeleteYour Purple Cake day looked like a lot of fun and helping kids around the world is a very important thing for you to do. Well done!
Nana and I have read stories to Fin from here in Pukekohe. We used Skype. I wonder if Room 10 can use Skype?
Have a great week Room 10.
Opa
Awesome to see you all thinking about how you can help to make a difference for kids around the world! Keep it up room 10!
