My Dad descriptions

Many families read the descriptions of our Dad on Room 18's classroom window at the FAM-tastic Night, but you can also read them on our class blog on the Writing page.  Here is a sample to get you going!

Brooke's Dad

Maui and the Fish

In Room 18, we have been learning about myths and fairy tales.  We are doing plays about Little Red Riding Hood and re-telling the Maori myth, Maui and the Fish.  We have been tracing and painting pictures of Maui to illustrate the re-telling of the myth we have been doing in Writing.

Term 4 Swimming

In December, it is warm enough to have Term 4 swimming.  Room 18 goes swimming every Monday before morning tea.  We have a combination of free play and novelty races.

Snow storm at Cockle Bay

Oh, oh, temperatures plunged as a freak snow storm hit Cockle Bay.  As we shivered, we asked the question, "Could it have been something to do with Science Club?"

Mufti with a "C'

For mufti this term, everyone could dress as someone or something that starts with 'C'.  Next year we will be having the next Cockle Bay Carnival, so it was good to be reminded of the importance of 'C'!

Not so silly photoshoot.

Get Wise with Money

ASB came to Cockle Bay to teach us about money.  We call this Financial Literacy.   One of the things we did was a role play about EFPOS, and how you can use your own money to credit and debit your EFPOS card.

Wheels Day

On Wheels Day, everyone is allowed to bring something with wheels to play on at morning tea and lunchtime.  In Room 18, we brought bikes, scooters, remote controlled vehicles, wheelies and meeowsies.  As with the culture parade, Room 18 did Statistical Maths to find out how many people people had brought what.

A special thank you to our class councillors who made Wheels Day posters and also helped to supervise riders on the day.
