Willow came to school

Willow came to school with her handler Steph to teach us how to be safe around strange dogs.  We learnt what to do if a dog we don't know comes up to us.

Book Fair

Room 7 were very excited to see the Book Fair truck arrive at school.

Thank you to all the families who supported the Fair so generously!

A great start to Term 2

The Minstrel came to our school today.  He talked to us about being safe in the water when going out in a boat and looking after the fish and their environment.  We were very lucky to have Mrs Prattley in our class as well.  She brought along some fishing gear for us to look at.
  One of our favourite songs is Kai Moana.  It has a great message for the fishermen!

Kai Moana, food from the sea
Kai Moana to feed the family.
Fish for the future and there will always be more
Kai Moana for you and me.

Visitors to Room 7



Michael brought his new puppy Jack to school.  We asked him questions about how he cares for Jack.
Captain Cashtastic from ASB came to talk to us about how to care for our money!



Thank you Harold.....

Since Harold and Shelley's visit in the Life Education Mobile Classroom we have been learning about our bodies and how to stay healthy.

We have been discovering how our digestive system works.  Did you know that your chewed up food goes down a tube in your neck called the oesophagus?

We have been discovering how our heart and lungs work.  Did you know that your heart is a muscle?

We have been learning about our skeletons.  Did your know that your ribs protect your heart and lungs?  You have 12 pairs of ribs.

We have been learning about how our brain is always working even when we sleep.  We need to keep our brain healthy by eating healthy foods.  We need to keep our brain busy by learning new things.

A BUSY BRAIN IS A HEALTHY BRAIN!

Week 7 in Room 7

 What a busy week!
Here we are visiting Harold and his friends in the Life Education classroom.
 

Our Day - Part 3

After lunch we work on our topic.  We might do some art, music, movement, drama, Te Reo or Physical Education.

This term in our topic we are thinking about how we learn.  Our five senses help us to learn about our environment.  We have been thinking about how we hear sounds.  We had fun making different sounds with the musical instruments!

Next week Harold and Shelley will be here in the Life Education classroom.  We will learn more about how our body works and how to take care of ourselves so that we can be the best learners we can be.
