FMS Sports Day

Yesterday the Marvellous Meerkats went to the courts to do FMS sport.

First we lined up and then we went outside. Then we walked quietly to the flagpole and lined up on the yellow line. Next we started side galloping. We played follow the leader and the bank and river game. We needed to side gallop and high five your buddy. At the end we lined up quietly in two lines to go to class.

It was fun because we played lots of games. 

Making Eighteen

We're almost finished our teen numbers. Today the Parrots and Toucans made the number 18 with lots of materials. Here's their work:

Same Length Scavenger Hunt

Yesterday, when Mr Davidson was at a maths course, we did some maths of our own. Whaea Mele gave us eight blocks. She told us to find something that had the same length as the blocks. We found pencils, felts, scissors and books.

Writing

Here is the writing that we did this week after we had put the pictures in order. Remember, we hadn't read the story before we did this. We hope you enjoy reading them.

Buckle Up!

This week is Road Safety Week. Every day this week at lunchtime we could go to Room 2 and get our picture taken. We had to line up with a partner. Next we buckled our seat belts. Mrs Priestly took our picture. We got some prizes for doing this. Someone will win a booster seat.  You have to be 148cm tall to not use a booster seat in a car. That's all of the Meerkats, except for Mr Davidson.

Making Seventeen

Slowly but surely we're getting higher and higher with our teen numbers. Here are the Pic Collages we made for 17. How many more teen numbers do we have to go?

Road Safety Week: Park and Walk Day

This morning Rowandale School participated in Park and Walk Day as part of Road Safety Week. Lots of children met at the park and the church and walked to school. Mr Davidson went to the park and walked with Han, Samuel and Paris. Sunday and Alex both walked as well. We got to walk with Max the Pukeko and we got some hot chocolate as a reward for our effort. When school started we had an assembly about Road Safety Week. Have a look at us and some of the signs we had.

Making a Story

Today in writing Mr Davidson gave us some pictures from a story that we haven't read. We had to work in teams to put them in order (it didn't have to be the right order, it just had to make sense). Then we came up with a story for the pictures. At the end of the lesson we started writing our stories on the chromebooks. We haven't finished them yet, but check back later this week to see what we've written.

Healthy and Unhealthy

This afternoon we talked about healthy and unhealthy things. We had to sort lots of pictures into two groups: healthy and unhealthy. We had to work together to cut, sort and glue. Do you agree with the sorting?

Making Sixteen

We are moving right along with our teen numbers. Today we got up to 16. Have a look at all the different materials we can use to make 16.
