Welcome to our first Blog Post of Term 4. Our week began with a mini Powhiri for children who had joined us at Nelson Central since the beginning of Term 3. This included many of our new Kowhai friends who have turned 5 and started big school.
As you can see in our inquiry work we have been thinking hard about what we already know about the Sun and Sun Safety and what we would like to find out more about.
We recorded this week's poem and photos of us being sun safe as a reminder to others to do the same!
As part of this terms Art focus on Fabric and Fibre we looked at the warp and weft in pieces and hessian and pulled out threads to make some interesting patterns.
In our phonics lessons we are learning about magic 'e' and how it makes its vowel friends say their name rather than their sound in a word. Just ask a Room 10 friend to explain it to you.
In No Child Left Inside we have started preparing for our Athletics Day later this term. This week we practiced sprinting and how to hand over the baton in a relay.
In maths we have been revisiting doubles and were able to use this knowledge to double some really big numbers.
We also looked at a rather tricky problem about how much a sunflower would grow each day to reach 13cm by the end of the week. A great I can attitude and collaboration was used in order to work this one out......
...well done Room 10!
