Nandhini was the' Apple of our Eye' this week.

                                   Nandhini brought in a variety of her favourite belongings.

                                                         Nandhini loves to dress up!

                                                   Nandhini's favourite hobby is to cook.
                                Here she is dressed in her apron and she is holding her favourite cookbook.

Veronica's awesome leggings

                            

                                                Veronica wore these leggings to school today.

                                     They had numbers on them.  The numbers were in doubles.

                                               We practised our doubles and sang our doubles song.

                 Thankyou Veronica. We loved your awesome                                                   'doubles' leggings.            

Here we are looking very colourful in our rainbow colours for Rainbow Colour Day!

Connor was very creative and decided to paint a rainbow on his cheeks, clever :)

... and guess who decided to wear rainbow coloured socks? 

We all looked very colourful didn't we, Room 16! :)

On Friday afternoon we created this Mural based on our Inquiry study on the Savannah.

Week 6

Hi Parents,

Just a quick note to remind you to make sure that you book your times for the Conferences.  These are held in Week 8, on Wednesday and Thursday.  Mrs M.R and I cherish every opportunity to meet with the parents of our gorgeous kids!

We are on the downhill slide towards the School Holidays.  Lets hope the kids stay healthy!!!!

Room 16 had an awesome time during their trip to the Zoo and did lots of White Hat thinking!

MANY THANKS to the Parent helpers, Lee (Kalanei's Gran), Arynita (Eesha's Mum), Lisa (Connor's Mum), Brenda (Manasa's Mum) and last but not least, Paras (Nandhini's Dad). We really appreciated your help! - From Room 16 and Mrs. M.R.

First of all Laura, the Educator, took us to the tiger enclosure. It was difficult to see the tiger as he was camouflaged in the background. 

Manasa and his mum Brenda looking lovely at the Zoo!

    

Kalanei and Ezra having fun riding the elephant statue by the elephant house :)

Here we are in the Education Room with the fabulous educator, Laura. She taught us lots of White Hat thinking facts about the Zoo animals and how they adapt to their environment.

Nathanael, Annabel, Yauola, Zac, Veronica and Connor are enjoying having their photo taken on the elephant statue by the elephant house. 

Here is a photo of the kids on the playground. Guess what it is!!

We have seen most of the animals now and here we are looking rather tired towards the end of the day.

Cushions

Look at the beautiful cushions our children made with Sandy

What a Surprise!

Today was my last Tuesday in School for the next 5 weeks as I will be away for my second practicum. To my surprise, Room 16 had prepared a special song for me to say goodbye for the 5 weeks and to wish me luck at the new school.

Thank you so much Room 16! You will be missed dearly, but we will see each other very soon!! I look forward to it already. Be good, keep smiling, and stay safe. See you all in Week 9 :)

Handwriting in Class

In Room 16, everyone works so hard when doing their handwriting practice! Today, the students focused on the letter 'U', making sure that their spacing between words and writing form were appropriate and neat. 

If a student receives 10 stickers from Mrs. M-R, they are allowed to go on "Handwriting Holiday" where they are given free time during the handwriting lesson to do as they please. Once they have had their holiday, they must earn another 10 stickers before they can receive another handwriting holiday. 

Great work today Room 16 :) It is great seeing how much your handwriting skills have developed over the time I have spent with you all. I look forward to seeing your ongoing progress!

Homework Challenges

Room 16 have started bringing in some Homework Challenges!

Kalanei, Eesha, Nicole, and Alice shared theirs at the Middle School Assembly on Friday. They were all of high standard and were great examples for the rest of the Middle school syndicate. Well done Room 16, we are very impressed with your efforts :)
