Week 9 Poetry Festival finalists

 Congratulations to John, Olivia and Lucas for being chosen to represent Room 23 in the Sunnyhills Poetry Festival.

We had such a fabulous first time, presenting our Poems in Room 23.  All the children tried so hard and spoke so clearly.  It was very hard to pick only 3 finalists.  Students shared feedback and feed forward as well as gave each other really positive encouragement.  It was so beautiful to see.

I judged the students out of 20 points in 4 areas. This was how I got my 3 finalists.  Body language (5pts), Volume (5pts), Speech language and expression (5pts) as well as Eye-contact (5pts).

Thank you so much for all your support in preparing for this occasion.

Please see the videos I have uploaded below of our 3 wonderful Finalists.

Thankyou for all your absolutely amazing work that has been emailed to me!
I am so proud of the work that you have been doing while at home.
It really will help you get back into routines faster.

Today I have added slide 3 onto my video as an idea for you to have a go at learning Te Reo Maori.
If you feel like going and checking it out there are a few different options. Singing, making a poster or having a go at the game BINGO but in Te Reo Maori!

Go and have a lovely day at home keeping safe

See you again tomorrow!

Good morning guys its Tuesday the 25th of August.

I have been looking at our slide deck of activities and today I have chosen slide 9 "Writing" Recipe Time.   I decided to write my own recipe for an Omelette.  I made this for my breakfast this morning and a few days also last week.  I had taken a photo and will upload my recipe and picture below for you to see.
 You can choose your own favourite food and write a recipe for it?
Slide 9 can help you also to find ideas about different recipes you may like.

Slide 4 is our GEMS slide and an easy task to do is to find a family member and share your thoughts with them today about how you are both feeling? you could ask them how they are? give them a hug, tell them how you feel? This can brighten someone's day!

Ka kete

Monday 24 August Mrs Edmonds Video Blog post.

Morning guys I hope you had a good weekend.

Well done to you all working at home reading and writing and doing creative art drawings.  It is so good to hear from your parents that you are keeping yourselves busy.  Lots of you have learnt all your word list and I have sent out the next one.  This is brilliant.  Thanks to all the children and parents that have sent work through. Just whatever you can manage is fine.

If you wanted to read and you have no books don't panic on slide deck 6 there is a cool website "Flyleaf Publishing" it has loads of cool books that you can read.

If you wanted to go check out other class blogs just go to the top of the task bar and take out our class room 23 and type in 8 or 10 or another class you may want to look at.  They have been busy also doing the slide deck of activities.

Friday we start our class google meets and I am sooooooooooooo excited to see you.
Go and enjoy your day and keep warm.
Hugs from Mrs Edmonds!

Emily's shared art work

What a super job at making the daffodil Emily.  It looks like Mrs Edmonds one its nice and big.

What amazing art work you have created Emily.  You even have your own art desk with your colourful markers.  What a cosy place to sit right by the window in the sun.  Maybe you might be an Art teacher like your mummy oneday?

Gorgeous little cards.  That little yellow chic is super

cute.
