Netball!

This term we have been learning how to play Netball!

We have learnt a range of skills and techniques 

We are all getting involved!

We have learnt to work as a team!

 We can bounce pass to our partner!

 We can make a 'W' with our hands to catch the ball!

 We can even pass the ball way over our heads!

 

Procedure Writing (How to make Toast)

Today Room 4 was learning a fun and new exciting type of writing called procedure writing!

Miss Savidan let us make TOAST!!!


Before we started we discussed what equipment we needed to help us make the toast:

1 X Knife

1 X Toaster

     






















We also discussed what ingredients we needed:

Margarine

Jam

Bread

Method: What did we do???



1: First we made sure we had all the correct ingredients and equipment!




2: Then we made sure the toaster was turned on 
and plugged in.

3: Next we put the toast in the toaster and pushed the button down.



4: After that we waited for around 2 minutes until the toast popped up!

5: We then made a backwards 'C' with our finger to get the toast out of the toaster.

6: We then scooped the margarine out of the container and spread it onto our toast! Some of us just wanted our toast with margarine!




7: Most of us took the final step and put a big blob of jam onto our toast!

8: Finally we got to eat it!!! YUM YUM

Farewell to our Student Teachers from The University of Auckland and MIT

Last week Room 4 had the pleasure of having two student teachers from the university in our classroom!


Both of our Student Teachers were first year students and on their VERY first practicum.


We will miss both Mrs Adkins and Mrs Chand very much as they were so very helpful in Room 4 and even taught us a new maths activity!

Everyone extremely engaged in their Basic Facts!

Good luck to both Mrs Adkins and Mrs Chand for their future practicums, we wish you all the best and hope you enjoyed your time at SPS.















Here are some pictures of Mrs Adkins teaching Room 4 a fantastic new Maths activity called 'I love Maths'.
