Biscuit Decorating and Shared Lunch

2011-12-13T19:38:00.001+13:00

Today Lauren and Melanie came in and decorated cupcakes and christmas biscuits with Room 9. We had so much fun using the different icing, sprinkles and lollies to decorate them all. In the afternoon we wrapped them up in little bags and put a christmas bell and stickers on. I hope you all enjoyed eating and sharing your biscuits with your families. Last week Loretta came in and made christmas cards with the children. These looked so professional - thanks heaps Loretta and I hope the children have written in them for someone special!
A massive thank you from all of Room 9 to Lauren and Melanie for providing us with all the amazing goodies today and Loretta for the cards and craft things.
I would also like to thank all the parents for the gorgeous food for our shared lunch. The children certainly had a good size lunch today and enjoyed eating the leftovers in the afternoon. I hope they still ate their tea tonight!

Book Parade / Bouncy Castle / Christmas Party

2011-12-12T21:17:00.000+13:00

These will probably be the last few movies that will be published on Room 9's blog for 2011! We have had such fun at school over the last week. We had our book parade and Room 9 children dressed up as some awesome characters! Top job! We had a wonderful christmas party at Lucy's house on Sunday. Santa arriving was just amazing and he even dished out some gifts to all the good wee children! On Monday we had a massive bouncy castle at our school. What fantastic fun this was - some children in Room 9 went through 8 times!! Mrs Allen went through 3 times and I was tired! We have a couple more day left at school and we still have fun activities planned. We hope you have enjoyed our blog. Have a super Happy Christmas and a well deserved break for all!! xxx

2011-12-05T20:36:00.000+13:00

Today Mrs Sutherland told Room 8 and 9 the story of Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer. She told it to us orally - this means she didn't use a book, she spoke. We made our own antlers and painted our button noses red! Too cute Room 9!

Our Christmas tree!

2011-11-14T14:22:00.000+13:00

What an awesome time we all had at the Christchurch Show last Wednesday. A massive thanks to our wonderful Mums who came on the trip - Loretta, Kylie, Anj, Lauren and Melanie. You were fantastic! We saw so many amazing animals such as baby chicks, lambs, calves and ponies. We were allowed to pat them and hold them. Some of us had a turn at shearing a pretend sheep and some of us saw a baby lamb being born. After lunch we headed over to the tractors and machinery and we were allowed to ride on these massive vehicles. At the end of the day we watched the popsicle band and then it was time to hop back on the bus. Three children from Room 9 had a wee snooze on the way back to school. What a fun day had by all!!

We have had a fantastic start to Term 4. This term we will be looking at our school values and learning lots of fun, creative and new ideas related to our 7 values.

Today Onnah and her Mum Lauren shared Bernies adventures up in Northland. Bernie was lucky to go to the Rugby World Cup semi final with Onnah's Dad and they even went right to the very top of New Zealand. We learnt that the top of New Zealand is called Cape Reinga. Lauren read us a strory about how the Kiwi lost his wings and she also talked to us about the massive Kauri tree called Tane Mahuta in the Waipoua Forest. We made our own beautiful Kiwi birds. Mrs Allen used to live up in Dargaville and knows and loves Northland! Thanks for coming in and teaching us today Lauren!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and you are ready for an amazing term 4. I have had a lovely break with my family. We did lots of swimming and had some movie nights.

Room 9's Poetry Superstars

2011-08-28T18:23:00.000+12:00

On Friday we had our class poetry competition. We all did so well learning our poems and reciting them in front of a big audience. Even if some of our poems are hard to hear in the video you can work out what they are about by the gestures that the children use. We wish Onnah, Brooke and Hamish all the best of luck for the Year 0, 1 and 2 competition on Tuesday!

Congratulations Lucy!

Clip 'n' Climb Fun!

2011-07-14T21:46:00.000+12:00

We all had a fantastic time on our Big Day Out at Clip 'n' Climb. It was amazing to watch the children climbing to great heights. I was proud of how all the children tried their best and 'had a go'. Thank you to all the parents that came to help. I will show a slideshow of our trip before and after school if you would like to see more pictures.

Maths in Room 9

2011-07-12T13:57:00.003+12:00

From Tallest to Smallest

For Maths this week we are focusing on Measuring length and looking at the Tallest to the Smallest. We lined up the children in Room 9 according to our height. We wonder where Hamish and Maggie will fit into our line as they were away today.

Harry's Hair

2011-07-12T12:33:00.000+12:00

Come and have a look at our new display in the foyer to Room 8 and 9. Jane Buxton came and visited our classes and read us her brand new book called Harry's Hair. Room 8 and 9 think it is a fantastic book. Harry Brown won't brush his hair. First the birds move in, then a couple of lizards, some chinchillas and who knows what else? We enjoyed writing what can see in his hair and what the creepy crawlies might do in his hair.

Red and Black Day!

2011-07-10T20:41:00.000+12:00

Room 9 looked awesome on Friday dressed in Red and Black. Thank you for supporting our Canterbury team! We all had a brilliant time doing Developmental with our Buddy Class on Friday. The big buddies took on a leadership role and supported our class in all the activities. We did cooking, dress-ups, craft, construction, sports and sang some waiata together. The whole school got together so that we could be filmed for TV1. Exciting times!!
Keep up the great work Room 9.

Love Mrs Toohey

2011-07-05T18:55:00.000+12:00

Kia Ora. This week is Maori Language Week. We are greeting our teacher, counting to 20 and learning some new phrases and songs in Maori. Today we had some tamariki from Room 3 read us a big book in Maori.
Maybe you could ask how your whanau members are in Maori
Kei te pehea koe?.

You can answer by saying
Kei te pai ahau I'm good
Kei te ngenge ahau I'm tired
Kei te koa ahau I'm happy

Tau Ke!

DOUBLES TO 20

2011-06-29T14:33:00.001+12:00

We are beginning to learn our Doubles to 20. Ms Ashby's maths class came over to Room 9 this morning and sung the Doubles song to help us learn them. We are looking forward to learning them and seeing how much we can improve by next term. Thanks Ms Ashby for playing the guitar.

Fun Day Friday!

2011-06-25T22:42:00.000+12:00

We had such brilliant time during Developmental Time on Friday. Prior to Developmental Time we watched the School Orchestra performing. We thought it would be a great idea to make our own instruments. Some of the children in Room 9 made amazing instruments. Well done!

Buddy Time

2011-06-23T21:43:00.000+12:00

Yesterday we spent some time with our wonderful buddy class - Room 23. We used the laptops to learn lots of exciting programmes such as Kidpix and Photobooth. We took some funny pictures of ourselves. We can't wait until we meet up with our buddy class again!

Pizza Chefs

2011-06-22T19:33:00.008+12:00

This term we have been learning to write instructions. We have learnt that instructions need to be clear and written in steps that are numbered. This means we can follow each step carefully. We wrote our own instructions for making a pizza and on Tuesday we turned Room 9 into a Pizza Kitchen. Thanks to Ella's Mum for helping us for the morning. Have a look at our clip to see the steps we followed to make our pizza. The pizzas were delicious and there was nothing to spare at the end!! Yum Yum!!

2011-06-15T13:18:00.001+12:00

Hi there
I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful sunshine today and possibly playing outside or riding your bikes/scooters. I went to the zoo with my children yesterday. We thought the porcupines and the tigers were the best animals. We also enjoyed feeding the giraffes and watching their big tongues lick the leaves off the branches. I hope you have managed to have a look on the maths and literacy pages on our blog and played some of the games I have added.
Try and do some reading and keep behaving for your parents
Love
Mrs Allen x

Hello from Mrs Toohey!

2011-06-14T20:11:00.000+12:00

Hello Fabulous Room 9
Mrs Allen and I had a chat today and she told me how wonderful you were during and after the earthquake. I am so pleased everyone is okay and that you are safe and happy with your families. I was at home with William when the earthquakes struck. We both got under the table, along with Mrs Toohey's dog, Gordon. We were worried, but thankfully everything was okay. Poor Mr Toohey was up a ladder when the earthquake hit. He had to hold on very tight to the entrance of the manhole in the roof!

Hi Room 9
I am so proud of you all today - you were so amazing and you all found me by the field so quickly. Well done wonderful Room 9 children. There will be no school tomorrow so keep checking the website for updates. You could read some of your books from home and use the numbers we sent out last week to keep you busy.
My family are all at home and my children are happy to be sleeping in our lounge tonight. Mrs Toohey is fine and happy to be with her family too!
Take care
Love Mrs Allen x x

Scientists in Room 9!!!

2011-05-04T18:27:00.001+12:00

Today in Room 9 we were scientists. We had so much fun doing our first experiment. We learnt some really tricky words such as chemical reaction and carbon dioxide.

Over the next few weeks we will be going around the other Year 1 classes and doing different science experiments. We can't wait to think "what might happen?" and "what actually does happen?"

All ready and smiles before we begin being scientists!
