Learning with Voice Thread

In order to make our voice thread we had to first work in groups to explain an addition strategy to each other and then make sure everyone in our group understood it.

Clever Math?

Who can explain to Ma and Pa Kettle where they're going wrong?

The Authors in Room 13

Mrs Kaye has finally found time to put Room 13's amazing narratives together in a book.  We are enjoying reading all our stories.  We have a sheet at the back to write positive comments on our work.  We hope guests to our class will enjoy our writing too!

Lost and Found Writing

We went to look at the lost property box and sorted through the items. We chose an item from the box and used our imagination to think about the wild adventure it must of had to get into the Lost and Found.  We wrote a plan using a questions template - Who lost it?  When was it lost?  Where was it found? etc
Now we are publishing our stories about the lost property adventures as comics . Cool!

Bye, Bye, Mrs. Lye

The whole school said a sad farewell to our principal Mrs. Lye at assembly on Friday.  Our Kapa Haka group welcomed her into the hall and then sang beautifully for us.  To all the seniors that have practiced so tirelessly, you sounded fantastic.  Tino pai!  Here are some video clips of the event, enjoy.

Topic Presentations

Room 13 has been researching events based around the Olympic games. We are now beginning to publish our work using lap books. They are fun to make! We hope you will like the finished books and learn some facts too.

Olympic Art

Athletes! Room 13 experimented with drawing stick figures showing a variety of movements which involved running, swimming, archery etc. We then used coloured paper and glue to create our athletes. Can you guess the sport?
