Room 16 become the best parents ever!

We were lucky enough to receive some caterpillars and eggs from Miss Bauer. We had enough for one caterpillar each so decided we would all become Mums and Dads of our new babies. This was helping us to learn to be responsible. We came up with some new class rules to make sure our babies had the best home to live in. We also gave our caterpillars a name. Raukura's caterpillar was called Spikey and Emily called hers Fluffy Cloth. Skylah-Rose called her Chocolate Melt Down. Tegan called hers Fluffy and Qwayde called his Stripey.

Dirty dirty bread!

We have been learning about what are "good habits". One thing that we learnt we need to get better at is washing our hands after we have finished touching many things in the classroom. Have a look at what happened to our bread! After lunch we all touched the piece of bread and then put it in a bag. We then washed our hands and touched the bread. You can see the yucky difference. Now we are scared to touch our iPad!s and felt tips!!

Being responsible of our learning

Room 16 has been looking at being learning about the responsibility of our own learning. We have been making learning goals and our next steps. Some of us have asked to be the tuakana and run our very own learning workshops for other tamariki to learn from us.

Kawakawa Clean up Day

Room 16 participated in the Kawakawa clean up day. We have been learning about conservation and how important it is to look after Papatuanuku. We were very sad that we could pick up so much rubbish because that meant that there are a lot of people in our town who are not looking after Papatuanuku. 
Let's keep our land clean and green!
