Welcome Azayiah!

This week Azayiah started in Room 7! Happy 5th birthday Azayiah and welcome to our classroom.

Pikelets!

This morning we made pikelets.
We mixed egg, sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and milk together then Mrs Derrick cooked our little pikelets in the electric frypan.
Julie put margarine and strawberry jam on them and we enjoyed eating them in the winter sun outside our classroom. They tasted delicious!

Making Riceballs

The junior school had a shared lunch for our Programme Of Guided Inquiry Provaction on Friday.
Each class made decorations that are represented cultures from our school and we ate food from different cultures.

Room 7 made Rice Balls from Japan. Here are some pictures and sentences that Room 7 students made about each picture.

Welcome Cynric and Summer!

On our first day back of Term 3, we welcomed Cynric and Summer to Room 7! 

We have started a small netball unit which is being coached by Amy from Canterbury Netball over the next 5 Monday's. Today we learnt how to land with 2 feet apart to give us more stability.

End of Term Volcano Fun

On our last day of term 2, Mrs Derrick brought along the ingredients to make a volcano at school. The children were very excited, especially David.
Mrs Derrick used up the last of our play dough to shape the volcano and the children decorated it with sticks, leaves, flowers and rocks they found in the playground.

Caleb put some baking soda into the middle of the volcano and David added some vinegar mixed with red food colouring. We watched as the 'lava' erupted up and out of our play dough volcano.
Afterwards we drew pictures and wrote stories about what happened. If you come to Room 7, you can read them on our wall.
