Wednesdays video blog post from Mrs Edmonds

Hi everybody look at this drizzly grey rain falling outside.  Mrs Edmonds will not be heading out for her walk today!  However we must be greatful that this water is falling to help fill our water supplies and also to help our plants to grow.

Well I wonder who managed to have a go at any of the activities yesterday?

Today's challenge is for you to go onto our slide deck and check out Slide 12 looking at a form of communication used called  "Sign Language" and learning to sign the alphabet or even your name?  Mrs Edmonds found it a bit tricky to remember them.  There is also slide 13 which shows you a very interesting video about another form of communication called "Morse Code".  I think you will be surprised at how far we have come since then!

Well go and enjoy your day keep warm and safe and remember to be kind to your family and use your GEMS!
Bye from Mrs Edmonds!

Good Morning Room 23

Today I have been busy having fun with our slide deck of activities.  I found slide number 8 and listened to the story about a little boy called Billy.  I then decided to have a go at making a few worry dolls myself.  Perhaps you worry or someone you know worries? Maybe you could make them a worry doll?

Mrs Edmonds used a piece of paper, pen, glue, scissors and recycled card and I borrowed a couple of pegs off the washing line.....perhaps ask mum first as you may need a little help.



Also please remember to read everyday and sing our jolly phonics song below daily.

Friday 1st May Mrs Edmonds Video Post

Ata Marie, Good morning Room 23
Happy May the 1st! How are you all?

I hope you have all had a chance to look at the great work your all doing on here and remember to comment!

I have not finished but I wanted to share my 'Recycled Vehicle' activity with you. (slide 7).





No it is not finished yet but I am now making a special amphibious craft called a "HOVER CRAFT".  Did you know that amphibious means that it can travel on land and on the water!   I wonder if I can put it in the water and see if it will float when I am finished?  Maybe I can use the bath.

If you want to do a couple of smaller activities from our slide deck of learning today you may want to have a go at slide 4 drawing a KORU pattern.
Or even slide 6 will have you moving and grooving to a fun dance with 'Just Dance' a song called 'da funk'.

Have a lovely weekend and I will see again on Monday

Good morning my beautiful Room 23 Whanau

Wow its Thursday!

How is the new 'Slide Deck' of activities going?
Mrs Edmonds is going to start making a recycled vehicle!  I have collected some toilet rolls and I will use some cellotape and scissors and maybe find some wool or string to make a little car.
Have a look at slide 7 for more information about the 'recycled vehicle' activity.

I will be contacting the rest of your parents today to arrange a morning or afternoon session with you for 'VIDEO MEETS'.
This is where I will be running a morning and afternoon session Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  An email will be going out on Friday for your parents to read all about.

Have a great day guys and I will see you all again tomorrow morning!

Week 3 Term 2 Wednesday 29th April Video post from Mrs Edmonds

Morena Tamariki ma

Wow Week 3 of Term 2 and its Wednesday meaning this is a short week.

We have an exciting new 'slide deck' of activities! and an IMPORTANT announcement.


Please go and see what new fun activities we have for you to do over the next two weeks.
Remember you don't need to do them all!

Mrs Edmonds will be contacting your mum and dad this week to arrange a 'VIDEO MEET' call with you for next week.  This is going to be so much fun because I will get to see you and you will get to see a small group of Room 23 friends.  We can share our work together and talk about how we are going.

Mrs Edmonds has had a look at our new 'slide deck' and I wonder if anyone is going to try out slide 7 there is a cool challenge where you collect recycled materials from around your house such as; egg cartons, tissue boxes, toilet rolls and lids and to make a VEHICLE, that could be a bus, van, train, plane or a car etc.

Go and enjoy your day and begin an activity or two and I look forward to hearing about how you are getting on.

Bye from Mrs Edmonds!
