Fun with our Buddy Classes!

Room 20 certainly is a popular class.  We have not one, but three different buddy classes that we are currently working with.

Room 5 is a Year 1 class.  We have been working with them this term, helping them to publish their writing on the iPads.  Check out the post and photos on their class blog explaining what we did.


We have also been working with Room 16 - a Year 4 class.  Our two classrooms are the only two in the school who are using Blogger for our e-Portfolios, so we are learning together.  We also decided to get together to celebrate Matariki - the Maori New Year.  We made flax stars, learnt how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the Boomwhackers (and sing the words in Te Reo!) and set new goals for the New Year.  It was a fantastic afternoon.  Read all about it here:


 


Room 16 is also giving us a run for our money at the Class Mathletics trophy.  We shared the award for Weeks 4 and 5, and then Room 16 won it outright for Weeks 6 and 7.  Look out Room 16!  We're on a mission to win it back!!

Our third buddy class this year is another Year 6 class - Room 22.  We are working together on our Enterprise Inquiry.  Keep checking back for some more information about this which we will post soon.

We are really lucky to be able to work with so many other students in our school.  It really does make learning so much more fun!

Hi Room 20

Just a quick note to say how much I have enjoyed reading your class blog. You are such a popular class to have so many buddy classes!

I am truly amazed at the stunning work you have been doing on your individual blogs and using the iPads too.

I should warn you that there is a rumour that some Year 4 children have earned gold Mathletics certificates this week. You may have to work extra hard to keep in the top classes at assembly next week!

Hi Room 20

I'm missing you all! I've had a very quiet week. I hope you enjoy your sleep over and Skype with Elm Park in England tomorrow, I will be thinking of you! Have fun.
