Tuesday Mrs Trembath's Video Check in - make some puppets today!

 Good Morning Room 11!

I hope you have a great day - looks like a rainbow day of rain and sunshine! Maybe you could do the play from the slides today and create some puppets? Act out the play for the adults in your home after dinner. Put on a show! 

Meets tomorrow Wednesday, at 10:30am same code. You are welcome to join in and say hi to your friends. Bring a pencil and something to write on. If you make a puppet bring that too. 

Decisions decisions! 

Toast or chocolate cake for breakfast? Tell me what you think below!

Our Visit to the Howick Historical Village - Toys and Games of the Past in Colonial New Zealand

We had an amazing time on our day at the local Howick Historical Village! We had so many great photos to share, Mrs Trembath has made collages of them all.

A super thank you to our lovely adult helpers who came along and joined in the fun!

Thur 23/04 shared learning - lots of baking in particular at your homes and you will see at the end of the slides how Mrs T's pizza turned out!

Mrs Trembath's post today is for all the Parents in our class who are Essential Workers - Thank you XXX

I know the sound in the middle is muffled - bear with me it was tricky! I need a camera operator and a director and a hair and make up person!

Day 3 Friday Sharing our learning so far.

Mrs Trembath is working her way through all the work that has been shared with her and is about two thirds of her way through - maybe! Please check back in your drives tomorrow and see the comments I have put on the docs. If I haven't seen it - can you please share it with me by selecting the share button as I taught you in my video yesterday which is on this blog! Thank you! Have a great weekend everyone see you Monday!

Aaminah and Sophie have created wonderful presentations about Essential Workers - both of their Dads are Essential Workers.

Congratulations William Trophy Facebook Challenge Winner for yesterday!!

Are you checking out Ms Driver's challenges every morning and listening to the teachers reading stories from their living rooms??

Just right for relaxing to - listen to them every day these holidays! Even if you do not have an account on Facebook you can still listen to the stories as our school page is public.

Here are a couple of posts from R11 children - sorry I know there are more! It is hard to keep up - argh!

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. 

Worm Bin Monitors In R11.

Look at these fantastic Worm Bin monitors! After lunch they empty the bins from Koru, Kowhai and Kauri areas to top up the school worm farm. We know that there hasn't been a lot of rain so we are topping up the farm with water and card to keep moisture in. 

Don't worry we drink our water first and then refill the drink bottles and even use the garden hose!

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.
