DISCO!


Today lots of children came back to school at 5pm for the junior disco. We had a DJ who played cool music for everyone to dance to. All the curtains were closed to make it dark enough for the disco lights and you could buy sparkly pendants, rings and neon bracelets that glowed in the dark! Lots of teachers came and Mums and Dads were invited to join in too. At the end everyone had an iceblock to cool down. It was lots of fun!




Rugby World Cup


Room 1 were very excited that New Zealand beat France for the Rugby World Cup! Everyone wrote a story about it! Here are some of us with the poster shared at news time.

Technology-Making Fridge Magnets






Our inquiry topic this term has been Mighty Magnets. During this technology unit we investigated ways that magnets are used to help us in our daily lives. We decided to make our own fridge magnets to hold our spelling or maths rockets to the fridge at home. First the children selected some materials to make their magnets and checked them out for suitability. When they were happy with their choice they sketched their design plan. The children followed this plan to make their fridge magnet and then tested whether it could hold up their spelling or maths rocket. They all did! Well done Room1!

Noah the Magician!





Today Noah brought his Magician's Theatre to Room 1 and presented a magic show!
He brought some of his Room 11 buddies to help him out. We saw the amazing appearing tiger, the disappearing lady and the ball that appeared magically under the cone! Andrew taught us some juggling skills while the show was being set up. Room 1 children were chosen to say the magic spells and wave the magic wand! Everybody loved it. Thank you Noah, you are a wonderful magician!

Wearable Arts




On Monday we watched the Year 5 to 8 Wearable Arts Show in the hall. The costumes were amazing and Room1 have written some fantastic stories describing their favourite outfits! Check out your child's writing book in the classroom.
