When we were the bosses....

 
Miss Eyre let us be the bosses today.... Isn't she brave?! Luckily we did a fantastic job of being the teachers for half an hour with a buddy.
 
 
Hamza and Ava led us in our morning jobs, and started us having wonderful conversations about what rules we would make if we were the boss of Ruma Ono.

 
We carried this into our writing, and Taha and Kingston were amazing at helping people to write. They even marked our books!

 
Luka and Lucia played maths games with us, after we had packed up from writing.

 
Following morning tea Leilani and Jerry led us in singing our song for the week, The Winter Pokey. They also helped us to read our shared book of the week, Where is Aunty?

 
Then it was on to our small groups for reading, and Sienna and Caleb were fantastic, patient teachers with us all.

 
Sienna could even read Gabrielle's wordy worm upside down!

 
Dylan and Brooke finished our reading groups and kept us all under control until lunch time.


After lunch Noah helped us to do our shape cities and then looked for the best packerer upperer!
 
Sophie and Gabrielle were amazing at the end of the day as they packed our bags, and let us play Squashed Bananas. Such fun!

 
Poor Miss Eyre. She actually has to teach tomorrow! But she was so glad to see her class rise to the challenge of being awesome teachers to each other. Well done, Ruma Ono!!

Dress up day

 
For the end of Book Week we had to dress up as our favourite character from a book. Miss Eyre came as darling Caroline, sweet Caroline from Boss for a Week.

 
But she made sure we knew who was Boss!
 
 
Here are some of her rules for the day.






 
Mrs Wishy Washy showed up and Scarface Claw!
 
 

 
We read The Edmonds Cookbook and made some pikelets. They were delicious. We all helped stir. And we learned about our doubles and fractions too, as we had to double the recipe.


 
Here we all are together acting in character. What a cool class we are!

Our tree in winter

Once during every season we take a picture of our special tree in front of the hall. You can see the seasons change, and also our class changes and grows as the year goes on too.
 
Here we are in winter....

It's Book Week!


 We are having a lot of fun during Book Week! Everyday a different teacher from around the school is coming in to read to us after lunch. We have written letters to our favourite authors, and made special Piggy & Gerald and Pigeon bookmarks using illustrations from author Mo Willems.

Here are some of our favourite books. Can you tell who the mystery reader is?





 
We also have 2 special authors in our class who have written books at home this week. They have read them to our class. Miss Eyre was so impressed!

Precipitation experiment

Here is an experiment we did in class today to learn about precipitation. You could try it at home with your family helping you, especially with the hot water!
