Green Day

Green Day Friday 10th March

Here is Room 1,  looking very

 GREEN.

After Green Day Assembly, we talked about our School 

Care Code and we thought about the things we could do to help our world.

We drew little pictures of what we could do on our hands.

Save water - turn the taps off after washing our hands.

Save power - turn off the lights in the classroom and the CD player.

Protect nature - don't pick the leaves or flowers in the school gardens.

Recycle properly - put out rubbish in the right bins.

Look after animals and insects - don't touch our monarch caterpillars.

Pick up rubbish everywhere - we are all responsible for rubbish at our school.

Well done - Room 1.

"Zac's Train Set"

The Joy Cowley group read,

"Zac's Train Set".

They worked together and made a train set just like Zac's, 

with

tracks, a bridge, a station an engine and carriages.

"Look at Me"

The Margaret Mahy Reading Group

read "Look at Me".

We have made our own, "Look at Me".

Look at Us...

"I am reading.
Look at me," said Navala.

"I am writing.
Look at me," said Kato.

"I am writing.
Look at me," said Tusi.

"I am writing.
Look at me," said Hanad.

Worm Study during Green Week

First we went on a worm hunt.

But we didn't find any worms.

So we decided to make a worm house in a bottle.

Room 1 are pretty good at drawing the worm house.

Can you see the worm?

Before we put the worms in the bottle, we had a look at the worms up close.
Here's what we thought.

We read and listened to lots stories and videos about worms and here's what we learnt.

I wonder if we could now be called  ... 

... wormologist?
