This group are learning about water safety if you are in deep water and waiting to be rescued - huddle together to keep warm. Oliver and Joshua did a great job of pulling people into the boat by their life jackets!

Hey there Room 20 looks like we might have a frog!
Thanks to Brodie and Carolyn at lunchtime on Friday for helping me find some rocks because look what has happened today at my house!
One of our froglets needs air to breath now as it's lungs have grown and the gills are no longer there to enable it to breath under water!
Stones in the water mean the froglet can climb up out of the water.Thursday, 17 March 2016
Enviro Adventures with Mrs Daniel
As part of our second Enviro Day, Room 20 set off on an "Alphabet Nature Hunt" all around the school. While we explored and recorded our findings the most wonderful thing happened; without prompting the children started picking up litter as we went. We created quite the pile! The collection of mainly food wrappers led to a discussion about naked lunches,
as a way of reducing rubbish at school. Tino pai Room 20! You're enviro stars.
School assembly today!
The Peer Mediators were part of Special Spot today! They are an important part of the playground. You can talk to them anytime if you have a problem that you need help with in the playground.
Nathan was awarded the certificate today for his super problem solving skills in Measurement this week.

Problem solving in Measurement
Today we had a problem to solve using our knowledge about measuring length. Mrs Trembath gave us only a little bit of help because she wanted to see what we could do by ourselves!
The problem:
What does a metre look like? In everyday life we do not always have a metre ruler handy so we use a smaller ruler 30cm long and add measurements together. I wonder who can do that?
Take an A4 piece of paper and cut it into strips. Make a strip that you estimate to be a metre long by taping it together. How are you going to check it is a metre long?
Nathan and Carter worked very carefully to check their metre.
Not only did the children have to use measuring skills but the ability to estimate and add in tens. Many wrote or drew their workings and strategies down too. Some children were surprised by how long or short a metre was. Great mathmatical thinking today everyone!
Perhaps you can use rulers or measuring tapes at home to measure and record your results. Think about how many centimetres are in a metre! How do you write metre and centimetre?

Kiwi sports on Thursdays with Mrs Grant!
Learning to work as a team and letting each person have a go is really important in Team 20! How long do you think each team could keep the balloon off the ground AND still hold hands?? Try it as a family at home!
(Sorry my photos are a bit blurry but it's hard to keep still in this challenge)!
