The moment of truth!!

Some even still thought the 'special tasting' water actually did come out of the tap!!

And this is how we found out the trick!

We used our mystery code to work out the trick on us!

April Fools!

Mr Turrell showed us how the new water filtering system was going to make our water taste the absolute best and he wanted us to taste test it!

So Mrs Turnbull filled up a 'special' flask and we each got to have a sip!

It was amazing because it tasted like juice!  Thank you so much Mr Turrell for fixing our water. 

We are going to fill our water bottles up at morning break and we will also tell our friends how good the water tastes.

More photo's to follow...

Look what we have published!!!

We are so excited to be sharing our Mr Fox retells with our families. Watch out for them coming home on Thursday!!

Using tally marks to collect information

This is the data we collected about what fruit we have in our lunch boxes today.

And guess what? We were nearly right. Apples and bananas were the most common fruit in room 4's lunches.

Guess who got 30/30 for list 3 spelling?

Well done Oliver. All your hard work learning these tricky has paid off! Keep dreaming big!!!

Jerome visits us again.

Lucky us having Jerome share his Maori musical instruments with us. 

Fiona shares her book she read at home about Dolphins

Look at all our achievers!

Well done on filling your fern charts up for the first time. The 'Goodies Bag' will need refilling soon!

A group of thinkers!

Daniel, Sophie and Alfie spent the morning at a 'thinker's' Workshop. They used 6 coloured thinking hats to help them learn about lens. Then they used the iPad lens to take photos.  The best part was taking the photos at the park.

Mr Fox stories

Lots of group work helping to retell this great class story!

Mystery Codes

Ruby shares her library book

Ruby read her library book about Henry the Goat. Great reading Ruby!

Fiona's brought a mystery object to class.

We used our imagination to think up other ways of looking at this strange object. What do you think of our writing?

Where did our names come from?

Yellow Book Worms were wondering how they got their names? We need our families to help us find out. Were we called after someone? A grandparent?
