ART: Making name cards

We made these name plates earlier in November. We did them after completing all our assignments. They were easy to do and the results were spectacular. We used 'Drip Paint' technique to make our backgrounds. Have a look!

Key Competencies

Today we made our goals on Key competencies. Key competencies are skills that we need to be better learners.

Explanation: How do Bees make Honey

                                

Bees go to the flowers to collect nectar . Nectar is a sweet juice of the flower. Bees suck nectar with a little straw called proboscis. proboscis is built in the mouth of the bee. They collect the nectar in a special stomach.

 Then they take the nectar to the hive. Then they flap their wings very hard. This turns the nectar into honey. Finally the bees cover the honey combs with wax.

Room 10's Reading Challenge

Our challenge for this week was to read our books fluently with expression. All the students practiced reading their books. Everyone tried hard: before school, during lunch time and at home. The winners of the challenge were Tareek, Arizona, Teresa and Faka'ata. They all won chocolates as their prize.

Getting to know the names of people in my class

Buzz Buzz This is a game to help students learn each others' names. Play this game outside with a large bouncing ball. Gather students in a circle and explain that there are four sets of words permissible in this game. Buzz buzz, Ooh Ooh, Eee Eee and Aye Aye. Begin the game by starting your name followed by one of the nonsense phrases, and then bounce the ball to another person in the group. This player must say his or her name and then one of the nonsense phrases and then bounce the ball back to another person. The game continues in this manner, moving as quickly as possible from one player to another.

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Room 10, 2014.
I look forward to meet all of you on 28th January 2014.
Remember school starts on Tuesday next week.

Mrs. Sharma
