Buddy Time

We had fun on Friday (20th October, 2017) with our little buddies from Room 1 making magazine cats!  Room 21 enjoyed it so much that they asked to make one too!  We love our buddy time on Fridays!

Whiteboard Message

This morning when we got to school, the children had a message written on the board. It said, "if you can't think of anything nice to say, you're not thinking hard enough." They then had to choose a name out of a container and write a message to that person on the board. Have a read of the beautiful messages. We certainly felt very appreciated by our classmates.

Get NZ Writing

We have enjoyed learning about what a metaphor is. If you don't know, a metaphor is; it is a phrase that is used to make a comparison between two things, without using the words like or as.

As a class we brainstormed some ideas and came up with:

Room 21 is a lifejacket, keeping each other safe and warm.

Room 21 is a rocket, always trying to reach higher with our learning.

Room 21 is the Adventure Park, finding new tracks leading towards new learning. 

Next, we completed an individual metaphor, thinking carefully about how we can represent ourselves.  Take a look at our very creative metaphor I Am poems, which we wrote on postcards for our partner school, Wymondley Road in Auckland.

Take a look at the message it all created once we had our postcards joined together.

We also had to fill out a poster all about Room 21 to share with Wymondley Road School.
