Designing our Time Capsules

Designing our Time Capsules
We did some research and found out what a time capsule is.  We discovered that it is a container for putting special things inside and it will be opened in the future.
We put some very exciting pieces of information inside and at the end of the the year we are going to open our time capsules.
We have been talking about the changes we have made this year and we will be able to see how we have changed when we open our capsules in December.
We hope you enjoy looking at them.











Kiwiball

Kiwiball
On Monday 25 March the children enjoyed working with Coach Marco.  He taught them how to play Kiwiball and the children had so much fun.
When they got to bat they swung the bat two times and on the third time they hit the ball.  Then the children ran around the bases before someone who was fielding put the ball back on the pole.
The fielders had to collect all the balls and put them back in the container as quickly as possible.
All the children had a turn fielding and batting.
Enjoy looking at the photos:

An Introduction to Our Room 4 Blog

The children were introduced to our classroom blog.  They searched the posts that are on our 2019 blog.  Then they enjoyed searching other years to find out what the students were learning.
Enjoy looking at the students working in pairs and looking at the variety of posts:

Rabbit's Big Idea

This year our 'Big Idea' is about making changes.  I read Rabbit's Big Idea by Elise De Silva.
The story is about Rabbit being woken up by something strange.  It was an idea.  Can Rabbit turn his idea into a Big Idea?

The children retold the story.  We talked about what the word moral means and at the end of their writing they wrote their moral.
Enjoy looking at the photos of some of the children's writing and a photo of our display in the classroom.
