Our Easter egg creations

Room 21 created these fantastic Easter eggs!  They have been working really hard to make them look attractive.  They were very excited to eat the treat inside!

Poem week 8

Saying sorry and friendships

In Room 21 this week we have been learning about saying sorry when we hurt someone, whether it was an accident or not.  Saying sorry is very important when we want to fix a problem.  We need to mean what we say and make eye contact so that the other person knows we mean it.

We have also been learning about what being a good friend means.  It means that we do not let other people feel left out, take turns doing things and being nice to others.

Here are our two mantras for the week:

Making butter

Maths stations

We have been using maths stations in Room 21 over the last 3 weeks.

Our stations have activities that include learning about:

• Basic facts (0-20)
• Number sequence - filling in the missing numbers on a number line (0-20)
• Practicing writing our numbers.
• Using play dough to explore making shapes and objects.  Also making a number of objects e.g. MAKE 6 peas and put them on the plate.

These maths stations will change every now and again.

Here are some photos about what we have been doing:

Recount week 6

This week Room 21 will be writing about their experience on making popcorn.  All the students were very excited when the corn popped.  They used words like crackling, popping, exploding like a volcano,  and it tasted foamy and puffy. It also smelled like corn!  We had lots of ideas going around the circle.  I can't wait to see their writing at the end of the week! :)

ROOM 21'S BUTTERFLY

Room 21 said goodbye to their last butterfly! We are very lucky to have had the change to take care of the caterpillars to help them grow into butterflies!

The swan plant will live outside and hopefully we will get more caterpillar eggs :)

Water crystals experiment

WALT: explore how water crystals work and then write a recount about it.

Room 21 had so much fun exploring the mystery of water crystals.  They wrote some great stories about their experiences.
