Thanks Room 14!

Today during swimming Room 14 helped some of us to Starfish float on our front and backs. It helped us to get our confidence to do it on our own and guess what..... Some of us can now Starfish float all by ourselves. What a good skill to have. Thank you so much to our older buddies. 

Thank you PTA!!

Room 5 was lucky enough to get some of the left over bread from the Whanau night. We had sandwiches this afternoon. They were super yummy! Thanks so much to the PTA! 

Our buddies

Today Room 12 read us the books they had choosen for us. We sat under the trees and listened to them read. 

Having fun doing Maths

Today we had different maths equipment to use to make our own addition problems. We had Teddy Bears, 100's board, Dice and cards. We were all so engaged and on the second day all managed to record down our equations in our new Maths books. We are so clever here in Room 5. Check us out. 

Maths time in Room 5

Today we learnt how to rule up our Maths books and write one number in each square. We then did some addition questions to practise. Check out how good we all are at Maths.

 

Vintage Cars

Today we had 4 vintage cars come to Mahora School. We all got to have a ride around the field in them. We went twice around and even over the hill. It was so much fun! 

A nice cool off

Today Miss T, Miss Revell and the Haere Hub challenged Room Rima to a run around the Bike track. (Even Miss Boaler had to run). We went for a swim after which was nice and cold and fun. Check us out 

Place Value in Room 5

We are learning all about Place Value in Room 5 at the moment. Today we talked about all the different ways we knew which number was bigger when comparing two numbers. Miss Boaler gave us a challenge to see who could make the biggest number only using 12 pop sticks. We had to copy the numbers off the calculator. The biggest number we came up with was 1471. 

Can you make any bigger numbers?

Reading with Room Rua

Today we read our reading books to Room Rua and they read their books back to us. We also did some drawing together and played some reading games.  It was so fun to work together to help each other sound out words. Thanks so much for the visit Room Rua- come back again soon!
