Week 7

Welcome to our new friend Miquela...

We hope you have a great time in Room 9 :o)

It has been a busy week in Room 9, we have shown a lot of resilience and been very adaptable with lots of different teachers.  Ms Olney is very proud of us!

It was a bit funny coming to school in the evening for the child/parent/teacher meetings...we were a bit shy, but Ms Olney only had great things to say about us and all our learning.  Ms Olney has added some new youtube videos to our "Maths" page because most of us had counting backwards as one of our goals for maths.

This week we were learning about the letter "G"...

We discovered that we had collected a bucket of water on our deck when we had the rain during the week.  We didn't want to waste it since we are on an outdoor water ban, so we decided to use it in our school vegetable garden which fitted with our letter of the week focus.

 It doesn't look like much but it was almost full.

 We are off to the garden.

Wonder what we will find there...

Once we got to the garden we found some different things in there...

 Pumpkin

Mattise thought the sunflower looked sad and thirsty...

we decided it needed our help!

Healthy looking rhubarb

 Yummy tomatoes

We all had a turn at watering the sunflower and the tomatoes...unfortunately it wasn't enough to water the whole garden but we hope we made a little difference.

 

A special "THANK YOU" to our friends at Premier Preschool for lending us your big watering can.  It was great to see you over the fence as we were watering our garden!

When we got back to our class we organised our thoughts and ideas using De Bono's Thinking Hats...

 Here is a link to find out more about the 6 Hats...
