Roman and his big apple

Look at Roman's giant apple. He told us his dad got it for him from the supermarket. The children in Room 18 were buzzing with excitement as we watched him take his first bite.

Rainbow Water Experiment

The children in Room 18 have been experimenting with the density of water using different colours. We had wonderful  experiences and moments. We would encourage you ti try it at home with your parent's help.

During lunchtime Julianna and her friend Alexus went around the school gathering colourful leaves. They made a big beautiful flower and showed it  everyone.

Yummy cup cakes

Mrs. Lagitupu ( Kristopher and Julianna's mum) brought us cup cakes to say thank-you for looking after Kristopher who is in a wheelchair. We are so lucky to have such loving and caring parents. Thank-You Mr. and Mrs. Lagitupu, Kristopher and Julianna.

enjoyed eating the cup cakes at lunch time.

Patterns

We have been learning about making patterns. At first the children had to copy my pattern but later they had to create their own pattern using the pictures I gave them. They then had to discuss and tell someone about their pattern. This is Kiarah's pattern which she completed independently on her iPad.
