On a Friday we meet with Room 4, Karearea, for buddy reading. We have set buddies and get to think about the type of books they like to read. For this session our buddies selected books from their class library. Soon we will hear them read to us from their class readers too.

EPro8
Heaps of fun working with huge EPro8 kits today. These kits are like large meccano or lego equipment. In groups we worked out how to make a model stable (make a triangle), extend pole length, use a gear crank and how to use a pulley.
Tomorrow we will be working in teams to show our cooperation, management and thinking skills in a challenge task. After that 4 students will be selected to go to the competition at Ashburton Intermediate School.

Easter cupcakes
Mrs Watson thought it would be a great idea to learn how to make easy cupcakes just in time for the holidays. We looked at some decoration ideas and while it started off with our cupcakes having an Easter theme - they definitely ended up looking quite unique.
With Maureen we worked in 3 teams to make our box set of cupcakes and they were gluten free so Mrs Watson could eat some too!
Helper Dress Up Day
Today we were community helpers! It was great to see the future ambitions of the students and even more exiting to have Georgia dress up just like me! 💖
