Room14HES

Room 14 has been swimming to learn and practice the essential skills needed to be confident in the water.  Such skills include submersion, breath control, floating, kicking, gliding and swim techniques.  We have a lot of fun during swimming and we try hard to remember our togs everyday. Here are some photos of us practicing our kicking technique.

As part of our Turangawaewae unit we have been getting to know one another and learning about cooperation. We have been doing a variety of activities that require us to talk, negotiate and solve problems. These activities also helped us to learn about the Hamilton East Toolkit. We were focused on Getting Along With Everyone.

We are all excited to be back at Hamilton East School.  This is Room 14 for 2014. Welcome to all our new students

We have been having fun learning with our buddy class - Miss Suze's Superstars.                                           Today we read a book together and then wrote our own books. We are learning how to use speech marks in our writing.

We have joined with Miss Suze's Superstars in Room 3 to do some buddy reading. We are lucky enough to be able to share our fabulous reading skills to help others. It also lets us practice reading with our storytelling voices.

In Room 14 we have been growing our Atlantic Giant Pumpkin for the pumpkin growing competition. We have been trying to water it everyday and check that no bugs are eating it. We also to look to see how it is growing what changes we notice over time. These photos were taken three days apart. Do you notice any difference?

Recently we were lucky enough to have a local artist come and visit the Totara Team to explain some different art techniques. This was a very interactive experience and we were able to try out these techniques as she was talking about them.
