Italian dance

Room 7 have learnt an Italian dance as part of our Olympic study on Italy.

Here are some facts that we have learnt:

"Did you know that over 61 Million people live in Italy" by Kadim
"Italians love to eat Pizza and Pasta" by Nathanael
"The capital city of Italy is Rome" by Loch
"Italy is the shape of a boot" by Zion
"The Italian flag is green-white-red" by Xavier

Olympic Parade

St Leonards had an Olympic fun day/parade! We all got to dress up in our country that we picked out of a hat. We had such a fun day.

Where in the world with Room 12

We looked at 'Te Ika a Maui' story to understand the shape of New Zealand/ Aotearoa. We then drew the fish and the waka to represent the North and South Islands. We looked at factual writing about a stingray and waka next to link into our writing focus. Here are some pictures of our work.

Olympic Fun Day - Room 10

Thank you to our lovely teacher Mrs Stuart for helping Room 10 today :) 

Here we are waiting patiently for our turn.

We are finally up and running! Go Thailand!

Here we are up on the stage representing Thailand.

Olympic Fun Day Preparation

Room 10 represented Thailand for our Olympic Fun Day. We learnt how to say 'hello' in Thailand. In Thailand, they have their two hands together and bow. We say Sawadee. We also looked into Thailand's culture. 

Our Big Book "Wishy Washy Mirror" Response

In Room 10, we get to wear our 'acting out' hat and become one of the characters in the story. Last week, we have read our big book "Wishy Washy Mirror" and tried to act out one of the characters in the story. Then we asked questions to the actor.

First we had Mikail acting out as the duck. One of the questions we asked Mikail was by Rebecca: "Why did you see yourself in the mirror?"
Mikail answered: "Because I thought it was a picture of me!"

Then Tejal was acting out as the pig. 
Saphire asked: "Why were you infront of the mirror?" and Tejal said: "I wanted to see the mirror."

Report Writing on Tortoise

Report Writing on Tortoise

Room 10 learnt how to write a report on Tortoise. We watched a documentary about Tortoise. We brainstormed together as a class about facts and information on Tortoise such as what they have and can do. Then we made a report and wrote 2 facts about Tortoise! We stuck eyes and made shells too!!

Room 10's Classroom Flag

Classroom Flag

Room 10 looked into what makes New Zealand special. We found out that silver fern is very special in New Zealand. We decided to make a classroom flag to represent our uniqueness in Room 10. Hope you like our classroom flag!!

Report Writing

Room 7 has already been working hard this term. We have been learning how to write a report. We all choose an animal we wanted to find out more about. We collected our own research/information and wrote our report. Enjoy!!!
