PJ Mufti Day!!!

Today we had a pyjama mufti day at Hampstead School to help raise money for KidsCan charity - we raised heaps of money for them!! Well done Hampstead!! 

It was awesome wearing our pj's all day, but it was also a little weird! 

Here's us pulling silly faces! 

Here's a lovely photo of us! 

Miss Brown is in this one!!! Looking good Room 6! 

Room 6 are Animals...

We have been doing Collage for Art this term and this week we have been creating our final art piece.

We had to choose an animal, plan the colours it would be, rip those colours up and then start sticking them onto an outline Miss Brown gave us. 

The funny part is, is that WE are the animals!! That's right, we have our faces on the animals instead of their face!! 

Below are some photos of us creating the art work, check them out! To see the final product you will have to come into Room 6 to see them... They look really awesome!!! 

What's the time Room 6??

In Room 6 we have been learning about Time for Maths. Last week we learnt about the days of the week and the months of the year and the order they are in.

This week we have been learning to tell the time on a clock to o'clock time.

We now know that the big hand is the minute hand, it always points to the 12 on the clock if it's o'clock time. The small hand is the hour hand and points to any number on the clock. 

Check out the photos below of us making our own clock, can you tell what times we have made on them??

Activities in Room 6 Term 3

We have made a new movie to show what Room 6 gets up to during the day, check it out!! 

Māori Legends

We have been reading some Māori legends in Room 6 this term. 

We have read Māui and the Sun, it was all about how Māui tried to slow down the sun so that him and his brothers could have time to gather food. After we read the legend we had to retell, to do this we wrote a sentence and then drew a picture for it.
They are up on our classroom window for everyone to see... 

Come check out our retell!!

Another legend we have read is Tane and the Stars. This legend is about how the stars came to be in the sky.
Today we chose different musical instruments to represent the different parts of the story, watch our video below to see what we chose... 

Fathers Day 2014

Today in Room 6 we found out that it was Fathers Day on Sunday... and we weren't sure if we had anything made for our dads or grandads.

So Miss Brown got us all to make a card for either our dads, grandads or mums (because they are pretty special too). 

Some of us collaged the front of our cards and some of us just coloured them in, they looked really awesome!! 

Have a look us getting in touch with our creative side below... 

Indi and Paige making cards for their dad and grandad.

Here are some of Room 6 collaging their cards, looking good guys!

Marble Jar Rewards

In Room 6 we have a class marble jar. 

We earn marbles to put in the jar when we work together really well, when we do our best singing in the mornings, when we are doing super awesome thinking and if we do a really good job tidying the class at the end of the day and get down to the mat before our clean-up song finishes.

We try to fill it up at least once a term and today we did!! So Miss Brown got Nikau to pick a marble jar reward card from the bag and he pulled out 10 minutes free time, awesome!!! 

Miss Brown thought we had been working hard all morning, so before we did our writing today we had our free time. We had learnt how to play some new games yesterday so she let us play with them, check out the photos of some of us playing with them.
