Room 7's Botanic Garden Trip

Room 7 went to the Auckland Botanic Gardens on the 17th November, 2015.

We learnt how compost is made naturally using FBI - Fungus, Bacteria and Invertebrate and how to make our own worm farm and compost bin.

We were very tired at the end but we had an amazing day!

"I liked the tunnel, it was dark and the ground was wet. 

I learn't how to make compost." 

My Writing

Term 1, 2015

This is my writing at the beginning of the year.

Term 4, 2015

Look what I can write now!

This term I have been learning to use punctuation such as full stops, comma's and speechmarks and write more than one idea with details related to the topic.

" I can do lots of finger spaces in the right place and doing my capitals. It is tricky doing the big words." Analise

Reading punctuation!

I am learning to notice and identify punctuation marks when I am reading. 

"I can talk a little bit louder when I read an exclamation mark." 

Painted Paper Bouquets

LI: We are learning to mix and blend primary colours.

First we mixed primary colours together to make new colours then we

blended them together to paint our vase and petals. Next we used watercolours to paint our flowers and then we put it all together.

Measuring with our Gingerbread man

LI: We are learning to compare and measure the length of similar objects.

First we measured and made a gingerbread man out of cardboard. Next we had to build a bridge out of blocks and cardboard of different lengths that were long enough for him to cross.

"We made a bridge out of the small and big blocks for our gingerbread men to cross. It was fun."

Last but not least we made a Gingerbread man, 

decorated it and got to take him home to eat. Yum!

Sharing fairly

We have been looking at fractions like halves and quarters and I have been learning to share one whole object fairly between 2 and 4 friends. 

This can be tricky sometimes when I have to share one object with 4 people, 

so we practised how we could do this by cutting our dough ball and pizza's into 4 equal pieces.

"I can cut my pizza into 4 pieces and share it fairly with my friends."

My jellybean...

I am learning to use desribing words and add detail to my story writing.

"I can add detail to my writing, it can be tricky sometimes."

Identifying contractions

We are learning about contractions. This is when you take two words and shorten them or make them into one word.

"Contraction is when you join two words together and that makes a new word." 

100 days smarter!

Room 7 celebrated our 100th day of learning,

 we are now 100 days smarter!

Look at my learning!

On Thursday 25th June 2015, we had our Student Led Conference. 

This was a night where I got to show my family all my wonderful learning 

that I do in Room 7 and how clever I am. 

I enjoyed showing them my work and I was proud of all my learning.

My T-shirt

I am learning to publish my writing on Kidpix.

"I liked drawing my picture, it was fun."

Alien Addition...

I am learning to add two numbers together to make a group of 10.

It can be tricky to find the right numbers to put together to make a group of 10.

"I can add two numbers to make 10."

High-word-way

I am learning to sound out and read my words.

"I can make the sounds for the words."
