The Great Bean Race

Check out how our beans are growing - we are learning how to use a ruler to measure our beans growth.

Albatross Community Assembly

On Friday Room 19 attended their first Albatross Community assembly...we shared our beans that we are growing and measuring in our maths lessons.  Three Room 19 children received Principal's awards for their learning and wonderful attitudes - well done!  The other classes in our community also celebrated their successes with us.  What a great way to end our week!

Sarah and Poppy

I climbed up a big tree with Poppy and then we ate burgers.

Jaden and Poppy

I built a lego castle with Poppy.  My cat Junior liked watching Poppy.

Our Bean Measurements

Mackenzie and Poppy

Poppy had fun riding in my basket at Orewa.  We had fish and chips for tea.

Kayla and Poppy

Kayla shared her dinner with Poppy.  Then she read a story to Poppy.

Lexi and Poppy

I went to the park with Poppy, then we had a picnic.  Poppy's favourite was the pie.

Jack and Poppy

I took Poppy to the park on my bike and we went on the flying fox.

Jayden and Poppy

I had a picnic with Poppy.  We had Marmite sandwiches.

Measurement and the Great Bean Race

On Friday we planted our runner bean seeds - even Poppy got into the planting!  Over the next few weeks we will learn more about measurement when we measure our bean seedlings.  This is part of our 'strand' maths for this term.

Poppy Pukeko

 

Poppy was a popular addition to Room 19.  Today we welcomed Poppy and talked about where we thought Poppy might like to go for some adventures.  Already joining in with the maths activities and of course a photo opportunity with all of the children (except for Lewis and Mackenzie who are still on holiday).  Keep your eye on our blog for where the children take Poppy next....

Welcome to Term 4 .... and Poppy Pukeko!

Welcome back to Term 4. I hope you all had a fantastic holiday. This term we have an adventurer in our class - Poppy Pukeko - who has been holidaying with Mrs Lidgard.

Poppy will venture home with each child over the term and we will talk and write about Poppy's adventures; and of course capture the special moments digitally on camera or video and post them here on our blog! I'm sure Poppy will also enjoy joining in with all of the special learning fun we will be having!! So watch this space....you are going to be hearing and seeing a lot of Poppy and the Room 19 children over the next 10 weeks.
