We began the first week of Term 2 by remembering all the soldiers who have fought to keep our country safe. We made our own Room 11 poppy wreath and laid it with the otherwreaths and crosses from Nelson Central classes. We learnt more about ANZAC day in assembly and listened to the Last Post being played. Did you see us on the front page of the Nelson Mail?
We welcomed Talia, our student teacher into our Room 11 family and she has made a great hit with us all already.
On Tuesday we had a special hockey skills lesson with Aaron. We learnt lots and as you can see from the photo movie below there is definitely some budding hockey talent in Room 11. A flier was sent home with information about out of school hockey lessons. If you did not get this there are still a few in class.
In art we finished off our flower pictures showing our learning about primary, secondary and complimentary colours. Look out for them on display in the classroom and on our Kidzstuff blog.
In our writing lessons we began learning about descriptions by describing an animal or pet. First of all we did a shared description of Jasper. As he was not able to come to school on Tracy's bike he made us a little movie so we could learn more about him.
We made a start on our Zero Waste Classroom inquiry topic by setting the scene and recording what we already know about waste.
Then we looked at all the waste we had collected in one day in Room 11. Next week we will start thinking what we can do to reduce this even more.

Hello everyone in room 11.
ReplyDeleteYour classroom is looking so colourful with all of your work displayed. I especially like the flowers - great work. I had so much fun helping you with the listening books on Tuesday. Have you walked passed any hissing bushes this week? I wonder what we will read next week?
Enjoy your week
