Water Care Visit and Mandarin

What a busy week of learning and special visitors in Room 1 this week! For our Social Science, we have been learning about water and the water cycle-we had Sally from Water Care New Zealand come in and take us through the water cycle and how water gets all the way from the ocean to our homes! It was so much fun making our own water cycle for the classroom and home. We even got to act our a liquid, solid and a gas as these are all forms of water. 

On Tuesday, Ms Lee and her lovely friends from China came and made special round dumplings for us! These are not found in New Zealand yet but are made by the Chinese community. In Mandarin, we are learning a song called 'The Family Song.'

Thank you to everyone who wore a Wig for Wig Wednesday! We said a special prayer for all those children who have Cancer. 

Book Week & Pentecost

Wow! What a couple of weeks it has been for Room 1! We have had so much fun celebrating our love for books. We had two amazing authors come and visit us and teach us how to draw-Stu Deval and James Russell. 

It was also Pentecost Sunday on the 9th June-we have been doing special prayers called Meditation every day after lunch and did a special one with candles for Pentecost. Meditation is when we talk to Jesus in our hearts with no talking and our eyes closed. It is very relaxing! Thank you to all our wonderful parents who helped us get all dressed up this week :)
