Elections Topic Activity

We have been learning about the New Zealand government and the upcoming elections as part of our topic curriculum this term. Here are some photos of an activity we did where we had to pretend to be the government. We worked in groups of four to decide how to spend $1000 between hospitals, schools, nationals parks and state highways. We also had to share with the class our reasons behind our spending choices.

Wacky Hair and Shoe Day!

We had a wacky hair and odd shoe day to raise money for Kids Can. The children in room 13 wore coloured hair spray, had crazy ponytails, different coloured shoes and even Miss Barratt dressed up. Here are some photos of our crazy outfits.

Papatoetoe Historical Society Trip!

Here are some photos from our amazing trip to the Papatoetoe Historical Society. We went as part of our topic learning about jobs and occupations in the olden days. Room 13 had so much fun dressing up in old fashioned clothing, making butter and taking part in a scavenger hunt in the museum. A big thank you to all of our amazing parent helpers who made the trip possible!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Life Caravan!

 As part of our topic this term we are learning about healthy foods and what our bodies need to stay strong and full of energy and today room 13 was lucky enough to enjoy a special visit from Harold the giraffe and the Life Caravan. We learnt about what kinds of food we should be feeding our bodies and why.

Here are some photos from our fun morning. 

Don't forget to ask us about what we learnt!
