Room 4 has been learning about relays.
Here are some stories that we wrote.

We are doing relays with the ball. We give the ball to the other person then it is their turn after the person who had a turn.

I can see a person running with the ball in the field. The ball is yellow.

We are learning to hang our bags up in the cloak bay and we are learning to keep our cloak bay clean and tidy.
In the morning when we come  to school we are learning to put our book bags in our tote tray.
Most of Rooms 3 and 4 are getting very good at this. We need to remember to push our tote trays in.
We also remember to take our chair down in the morning and take our book bag home at home time.
This was written by room 4.

A Vintage Car Day At Mahora School. Such Fun.

The day the Vintage Cars arrived at school.
We were really excited to go for a ride in a car that looked old, had different door handles and no seat belts. Even the horn sounded funny. We wrote great stories about our ride in a vintage car.

Room 4 all set for a day of learning.

Room 4 are learning how to use blogger on the iPad

Welcome To Room 4 2014.

Well here we are into week 5 of Term 1 already and it will be another busy one in Room 4.

We have 21 children in our class 11 girls and 10  boys.

Our key Competency this term is Managing Ourselves and our Mahora School value is
 Responsibility.

As part of managing ourselves we are learning to put our book bag in our tray each morning, put our
 chair down and sit quietly on the mat after morning tea and lunch time. We are also learning to work
 quietly at our tables. The children have a learning buddy whom they sit on the mat with each day. 
These learning buddies are changed twice a term. It is a good way for the children to interact with
 others.

We started the term off with “Me” as our Inquiry Topic but haven’t got very far as swimming takes up
 a good chunk of the afternoon. The children are really enjoying the swimming and are excited to
 swim each day at 1.30.

We have started a new writing programme in our class called ALPS.

Oh I must say that the great excitement of the day is the milk that comes in a carton with a straw. 
The children are so good at sitting and drinking their milk.

Please feel free to come and visit our class before or after school any time that suits you and check
