END OF TERM

Time has come to have a holiday. Thank you Room 4 children for working so hard this term.
Keep safe and happy over the next two weeks.

Teachers at Halcombe School are heading off to a conference to get taught lots of things about reading. We get to learn too! It would be great to think you guys are doing some reading at home too.

Winning the classroom cup was a great way to end the term.
Ka Pai Room 4. Happy Holidays!

DANCE

This term Room 4 has worked extremely hard learning dances. 
Today was performance day. We danced a Hip Hop dance and a Rock 'n' Roll one. 

Message from Miss Campbell:

Room 4 I am extremely proud of each and every one of you for giving 100% effort to your dances. Thank you for your hard work. You all looked AMAZING!

Shake Out

Today at 9.26am we took part in the Shake Out event. We dropped, covered and held our positions before assembling to our safe school area. We were pleased that we knew exactly what to do in case of a real earthquake.

GETTING INTO IT

Room 4 have been getting into our invention projects!
We have been facing some challenges but have problem solved calmly and worked great in our groups. We can't wait till we share our final products.

BEST LEARNING

To Room 4 students

I want to hear what you have to say about learning in Room 4.

Here are a whole lot of questions for you to think about and answer a few in your rely to this comment.

What things do we do in our class that helps you learn better? Is there types of activities that make learning more fun and easier to understand? Would you rather get told exactly what you have to do every minute of the day or feel having your own literacy plan helps you? What materials help you learn?
For those of you who do Rainbow Reading and Phonics, can you tell in your reading and writing that it has helped you. Can you explain why?

How do you think you learn best?
 
I can't wait to read posts about this topic.

Thank you.

From Miss Campbell

INVENTIONS

Room 4 have been planning our invention projects.We are working in groups and are all getting involved enthusiastically. We cannot wait to see the inventions we all come up with.
  

Recently our Student Council decided to donate $100 to the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter! As you can see they really appreciated our support!
