We LOVE Writing

"Stop work!" Mrs Andrews announced to Team Koru."Find a friend in another room and share your best writing."

What a great time we had sharing our stories, poems, and writing on the computer. Take a look at these photos to see the children of Team Koru enjoying being together and celebrating their learning. 

"Can we do this again Mrs Andrews?" 

NZ Writing Project

Room 15 recently took part in a NZ wide writing project where classes were buddied up across the country to write about themselves, their school and their local area.
We were buddied up with Room 1 from Sandspit Road School in Auckland. Here are a few photos of the children reading their postcards and then placing them altogether to create one message for us all - thanks Mrs McDougall and the children of Room 1 for all your awesome writing and interesting facts.
How cool that the sand on the beach is magnetic!

Maths - 2D & 3D Shapes

Room 15 have been exploring  2D and 3D shapes.

We looked at different types of triangles by using a different number of popsicle sticks to make them and then identifying the angles that are contained in each one. We looked at how they changed depending on the number of sticks we used.

The children then made a model showing at least three different 2D shapes.

They drew their shape onto paper and recorded the different shapes/ angles/ popsicle sticks used.
