Welcome to 2017 in Room 15!

We have had a great start to the year in Room 15! The children are so eager to get right back into their learning. It's also been wonderful to have so many parents and whanau members popping in to school over the last couple of days. We are looking forward to seeing more of you all throughout the coming year!
An extra special welcome to the children and families who are new to Chaucer School. Lovely to have you with us!

Check out these stunning pic collages from our day on Tiritiri Matangi!

Trip day tomorrow!

An exciting new opportunity for Room 15's amazing learners!

In Room 15 we're starting to use a new tool called Seesaw to share even more of what we're learning in class. Each child has his or her own learning journal, and parents and whanau members can be notified when their child adds new items. It's completely private -- only you can see your child's journal outside of class. If you want to, you can like, comment on or share the items.

The children will be able to add all sorts of different items to their journals. They've already learnt to add photos! We're really excited about this new opportunity for the children to share their learning with you, so please give it a go. 

There are two ways to set this up, depending on whether you want to use the app or the website:

1. Download the Seesaw Parent app onto your smartphone or tablet, then use the device to scan the special QR code they brought home today (it's really easy, I promise - you don't need a special QR scanner or anything!). 

OR

2. Click on https://app.seesaw.me/s/556-577-572 to sign up - it takes just 30 seconds. You can then download the Seesaw Parent app for iPhone or Android, or access your child's journal on the web.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Our videos are working now!

Apologies to anyone who's been trying to view our class's videos and having trouble - they should be working now. Enjoy!

Remember last year's 60s Celebrations?

Here's a video by Room 15's 'class of 2015'! You might not recognise them though, most of us haven't seen looks like these for a few decades!

Be Like An Olympic Athlete!

Watch our children share what makes Olympic athletes so successful!

Room 15's Assembly

Today was our assembly. Thank you to all the parents and whanau members who came along to support us - your children did a great job!

 We felt prepared and confident!

 We had beautiful artwork to share! Aren't our fraction creatures lovely and bright? 

We cut our shapes into halves, thirds and quarters to make these.

 Lots of our brave children had turns to talk into the microphone. Well done!

We love playing Chopsticks!

1. You need two buddies to play the Chopsticks game.
2. You tap each other's hands and fingers when you play Chopsticks.
3. You put numbers on your fingers.
4. If you got tapped and the other person had number one on their fingers, you would add one to your fingers.
5. You need to have less than ten.
6. The first person to get to ten fingers is the loser!
7. You clap if you have two o your hand, and start all over again.

Playing Maths Slide

You need one to four people to play Maths Slide. You play on an iPad.
It is a game to practise addition (adding numbers).
You tap any colour to choose players.
There are pictures of dice, cards and fingers with numbers on them.
You put the answers in the middle and add the numbers that come up.
You win when you have added all your numbers and the screen tells you when you are a winner!

Making Our Magnificent Mandala

1. We each got a piece of paper which was shaped like a circle.
2. We folded our circle papers in half two times to find the middle and make sections.
3. We used a pencil and drew important things to us. For example, Chloe drew people holding hands, Tyra drew love hearts, Ajo drew her sister, Marshall drew a scooter with a booster, Malupo drew his favourite things to eat and Mani drew her family.
