Chinese New Year.
Room 4 celebrated Chinese New Year by making drums. First, we learned about the legend of the monster Nian who came out to terrorise villages at New Year. The people of China learned how to scare the monster away with loud noises and the colour red, like our noisy red drums!

WALT identify the author and the illustrator in the text.
WALT identify the author and the illustrator in the text.
Room 4 has been using all of our reading skills this year, ready for Year 2. Every week we have a new 'test'
about different parts of the book. We have been searching for full stops, exclamation marks, question marks
and commas. This week we are focusing on finding the author and the illustrator. We all had a turn to come up
and point to where the authors name is. Miss Donnell tried to trick some of us and changed the pages!
'I know the author is the writer of the story and they do the words.'

WALT create a wearable piece of artwork
WALT create a wearable piece of artwork.
Our art focus over Term 2 and 3 has been creating a piece of
art we can wear. Miss Donnell introduced us to a song in The Little Mermaid called 'Under the Sea' which was the focus of our art work.
We created our artwork by sketching sea animals in our books and tracing them onto laminated sheets. We coloured them in and created patterns using vivids. Miss Donnell glued them on to tutus and t-shirts for us to wear.
Check out my awesome art piece!

Our Writing Successes
WALT reflect on our 2018 writing.
We looked in our writing books at the first piece of writing
we did this year and the most recent piece of writing.
We talked about what had changed in our writing,
what we have learnt so far and are excited
to learn next year in Year 2.
Something I have learnt in writing this year is my big picture.
Something I am proud of in writing this year is my monster skeleton.

WALT identify NZ notes and coins
WALT identify NZ notes and coins.
We had Captain Cash from ASB come to visit Room 4.
We learnt lots about saving money, spending money and
sharing money.
Miss Donnell decided to test us and see if we remembered how to sort out the coins and notes from biggest to smallest.
Look at my sorting success!
