Busy, Busy!

What a super busy week we have had in Room 6!

Here are some of our highlights...

On Monday we had a visit from Marieke who is helping us get better at writing. We showed her how we are learning to join two good ideas together using and. This makes a compound sentence.

Have a look at some of our writing... This is Regan's ideas about what the penguin did in the weekend:

...and this is what Kree thought...

...and Israel decided that...

On Tuesday, we had a lovely visit from some little friends from Pre-School. We had an 'Rr' theme so we made roads, rock and rolled on the see saw, rolled balls into buckets, raced around an obstacle course and made robots, rainbows, rabbits from clay. it was an amazing sharing experience.

On Wednesday we had hangi preparations and our job was to make the stuffing. Have a look at how busy we were...

...and finally on Thursday it was hangi day, It was amazing watching all the workers building the layers up and covering the food with wet cloths, sacks and dirt. A few hours later we were watching the delicious food coming up out of the ground and we got to taste the result of all our hard work... Mmm delicious!

Our letter this week is Rr so today we made some Racing Robots. They look amazing....but the really awesome thing is that if we put them over a door handle, they race up to the top!!

Sophie and Savannah came to 4Stars and they worked really hard and finished their robots in double-quick time! 

We all felt proud of our efforts!
