Rocky Shore Adventures!


We recently went on a field trip to Taylors Mistake as part of our Rocky Shore topic :)

Huge thanks to the parents that came and helped out with transport and supervision!

Mr Taylor, Mrs Grove, Mrs Williams, Mrs Cleave, Mr Roper and Mrs Roper- We so appreciated you coming with us! We loved having you there and hope you enjoyed yourselves too!
 
Here are a few snaps from the day!



 
After we had our morning tea, we had a sandcastle building contest!
Mr Taylor, Mrs Grove, Miane, James, Rhianna and Millie made a fantastic ship!
 
Mrs Williams, Mrs Cleave, Nevaeh, Matthew, Jayme, Robson and Nathan made an octopus!
It was one of the winning castles so the children got prizes!
Good work team!
 
 
Mr Roper, Mrs Roper, Lucas, Andrew, Abigail, Rafael and Tawanashe made a town called Happyville!
 
 
 
After the sandcastles, we went over to the rock pools and spotted some cool creatures!
 
 
Mrs Phillips found a crab!
 
 
 
We had a great time at Rocky Shore!
(And were all very tired that night AND the next day!
:)

The Heart of Room C

We recently did a topic called "Who am I?"

This was a topic where students explored their Mihi's and their places of standing.
 
 It was an opporutnity for the children in Room C to reflect on what makes them special.
 
To finish off our unit, we talked about the scipture Psalm 139:14.
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made"

We talked about how everyone is unique and has their own strengths and abilities that they bring. To help us remember, we made something to go up on our wall.
 
Check out our masterpiece!







 
We are all special in Room C! We all bring different things that make us unique! This heart reminds us that we are all special and that every single one of us is needed to make up the heart of Room C!
 
Feel free to come in and check it out!

Hats Galore!



We have been using our thinking hats in Room C!
We have been using our yellow hats and our black hats!

We made some hats to help us remember about our thinking hats :)






 These are our yellow hats and happy faces. We use this hat to think about all the good things!


These are our black hats and sad/grumpy faces. We use this hat to think about all the bad things!

Next we will be using our red hats and our white hats!
