Team 2 Inquiry for Term 4. DINOSAURS!

I Scream for Ice Cream

Room 26 were lucky enough to make ice cream on Monday as part of our Trade and Enterprise Inquiry this term. We were each put into groups and had to decide on a flavour of ice cream to make from scratch. Here is a video we made showing you how we made it. Enjoy!

Fruit kebabs

Today we chopped up our own fruit and made fruit kebabs with marshmallows. It was tricky cutting up the fruit but we enjoyed eating them! Take a look at our blogs for our recounts we wrote about the experience. 

Room 26 are starting to blog from home!

How exciting! Hector enjoys blogging so much that he has starting publishing his stories that he is writing at home. Very clever! Check out his blog here.

Kiwisport

Room 26 has been working on their strength and flexibility in Taekwon-Do. We have also been doing exercises that help us work together. Can we all stand up and keep out arms linked?

Painting our mural

This terms inquiry at Pt England is Technology.

During the term the village have been looking at different ways we can make our environment a nicer place to learn. As a team we came up with a solution - paint a mural! Room 26 have planned a picket fence to paint with each student having their own picket.

We have finally started to paint it! Very exciting!

Make sure you take a look at our blogs to see some of our great ideas and to follow the progress of our mural.

Senitila's Birthday

Happy Birthday to Senitila today who turned 7. We were lucky enough to have a delicious cake brought in by her Mum. Thank you!

Letter writing

Room 26 has been working on saying nice things to people. Today each student wrote another student a letter that was filled with things they liked about that person. Each letter was placed in a hand made envelope and decorated with drawings and stickers. At the end of the day they were handed out. 

Smiles everywhere! Check out the students blogs to see the final products.

Blogging

This is our first year blogging and it has taken us a while to get the hang of it.

But.......some of us have been learning fast and are already posting by ourselves! Take a look at this post from Akar. It is a story that he wrote about a video we watched called A Cloudy Lesson. He independently posted this on his blog without help from any of his peers

How colourful!

Our crazy silly story

Today we created a silly story together. The whole class was involved and each made up their own sentence. What was produced is a silly and imaginative story.

I went to the zoo. But it was no ordinary zoo. It was a silly zoo.

Once upon a time there was a man riding a fat chicken. I saw a cat wearing pants. I saw a dog wearing underwear.  I saw a cat dancing like a disco man. I saw a pig with wings. I saw a butterfly with rainbow hair. There was a elephant wearing underwear. I saw a fat cat. I saw a cat having a party after he got married. I saw my dad in the hallway and he had had a drink and vomited. I saw a cat flying with boots. I saw a cat dancing. My cat was named underpants wonderpants. I saw heaps of dogs having a party on a police car. I saw ants driving the police car. I saw two little fat cats running around with a dog who crashed into an old lady. I saw a fat cat who got married. I saw a dog on a slide. I saw the bat riding a car who feel asleep and crashed it.

It was a crazy day at the zoo.

Our first blog posts
