Pets
We have been learning about pets for the last two weeks. We have talked and written about the different pets we have, and what pets need to live. We have had a visit from Ailas guinea pig, Pepper, and have studied Pebbles our budgie. We have had lots of learning opportunities including being able to hold and play with these animals. The children decided to create a book to share what they know about Pebbles (see the book embeded below). They talked, about Pebbles needs, held him, wrote about him and published their work on the computer. They then decided what they wanted in the picture that goes with their writing. I think they are VERY clever!

We have been doing lots of writing about tigers.
We have planned written and published our amazing writing. We even chose our own pictures to put behind them. We think they look pretty flash! We have discovered we are amazing writers!

Tiger Environments
We decided to make some tiger environments to show our learning.
We found out that tigers need water. They love to swim so we put water in the box. Tigers need a house to keep them safe and warm if they are in the zoo so we put a house in. Tigers like hiding in the grass so we put grass in. Tigers like to climb trees and lie on rocks so we put trees and rocks in. Finally we put something in to play with. Check out our environments!

Term 4!
Wow!! Welcome to term 4!
What do a tiger, a budgie and a cow have in common?? They are all part of our learning this term!!
Our inquiry question for this term is:
What place do animals have in our world?
Much of our reading, writing, maths, art, ICT, and Maori will be based around this question where appropriate.
We have adopted Oz the Siberian tiger who lives at Auckland Zoo!
We will spend the first two weeks investigating tigers and the role of Zoos to protect and educate us about endangered species.In weeks 3 and 4 we will have our very own class pet.. Pebbles the budgie! We will investigate pets, how to care for and look after our pets, their different needs and the variety of pets we have.
In week 5 we are visiting Ambury farm to see shearing, and milking as well as visiting a variety of farm animals to investigate farm animals and the important role they play in our world. Week 6 will continue this theme and will see room 10 making our own bread and butter!
Week 7 and 8 will be focussed on creating a range of products to sell at our Christmas festival.
PHEW!
A few things to remember:
- sun hats - All children must have a sun hat by the end of week 1 to protect them from the sun. I will keep these at school and am happy to supply vivids etc. for the hats to be clearly named so they don't get lost!
- calendar orders - Please put in your orders for calendars asap. Great as Christmas pressies for the grandparents, uncles aunties etc. Remember they don't stay young for long! Feel free to pop in to see their artwork before purchase and extra forms are in the office if you have misplaced yours.
- Class help - If you have a free hour and would like to help there are always heaps of things to do in our class. Listening to a reading group, helping with writing, playing maths games, helping on our trip or cutting out resources (a great job to do in front of the TV!), all offers of help gratefully received. (due to the small size of our room, no pre-schoolers please).
- Allergies - Please let me know if your child has any allergies so I can accommodate them as we will come into contact with animals and will be doing some baking. :)
So as you can see, we are going to have a fantastic fun filled learning term! I will keep you updated with any other events that come up.
Any questions, please see me.
Looking forward to sharing the learning adventure with you and your children.
Naomi
