Have a go and challenge yourself! What has been happening in R11 during this last fortnight?

Swimming with the whole Kowhai Carnival!

 Our Oceans Inquiry wall starts to take shape! Can you see which creatures we THINK live in each layer of the ocean? We are going to be doing some research about this soon. Right now we are exploring and starting to make meaning and connections.

 To help us get thinking and explore the Oceans, Riley from Young Ocean Explorers gave a talk about her role in filming and sharing our unique New Zealand sea life right outside our city in the Hauraki Gulf! 

 Mrs Harding has been teaching us Te Reo and we have been practicing our vowels sounds, greetings and recapping knowledge from last year.

 Evelyn was our CEO today which we all take turns at being and did a great job of taking the roll for Mrs Trembath.

 Maths games and place value games to 1000 are keeping us busy in our Number work. Here Jayden is so excited to win his 3 digit dice game where you move 3 dice around to make numbers fit before or after each other. 

Mrs Trembath teaching us water safety!

No goggles today so we can try and get used to water in our eyes as well as floating on our back for long periods of time. We practiced rolling over onto our back when we are in trouble in the water. Even skilled pool swimmers can get into trouble in the sea! Do your children know what to do if they fall into deep water or get out of their depth in the open water?

Here is a link to Drowning Prevention Auckland on how to fit a lifejacket and other water safety videos like Fishing off the Rocks.
