Garden Makeover Working Bee

On Saturday, a number of room 9 whanau joined together with Renwick 2 to help out at the working bee for the Treemendous Garden Makeover.

The weather was perfect (albeit a little bit too warm for the ready lawn) for us to get stuck in to the clearing of gardens, painting of fences, and laying of ready lawn.

Great effort from adults and children alike.  Thank you for giving your time to this wonderful project!

Syndicate superstars

Congratulations to our superstars this week, who received a certificate at assembly.

Money, money, money

In Room 9 we have been introduced to money.  We explored coins and notes from different countries and learned that this is called different currencies.  We have also been practising skip counting in tens to help us when we are counting our coins.

On Thursday we went 'shopping' and each child had $5 to spend at the supermarket catalogue.  We are learning which coins are more valuable than others.  Handling money will make us pretty savvy when it comes to buying things. 

ANZAC Learning

This week Room 9 students have been learning why we have ANZAC Day on the 25th April.  We all made poppies which are worn to remember the soldiers who have died in the war.  At Discovery Time we made Anzac biscuits, which were sent to the soldiers when they were away from home fighting in the war.  We can understand why these biscuits were very much appreciated!

Jacob and Jude researched the meaning behind it and they celebrated their learning by presenting a speech at Pohutukawa Syndicate's assembly on Thursday.

Here is a video recording of the boys making their speech with the support of the class and their poppies.
