Look at these photos and find out what we've been doing in Room 10!

Taj and Jackson playing "Everybody's it!" during a Cracker Jack's session. 

Kate Ney, the Cracker Jacks coordinator came and worked with Room 10. Here's Bay showing the class how he can 'duck' to avoid being tagged. 

We are learning to use 'quiet voices' while we are doing independent tasks so that the teachers can work with groups and individuals to help them to learn new things! 


Each say we have a 'Special Helper' in Room 10. Here's Sophie on her day. She's giving some of our awesome learners a DOJO! 

We've been working on reading fluently with lots of expression! Charlie, Tristin, Rosie and their group shared a poem with the class. 

We worked together to make our Room 10 TREATY. Our class is going to be a really safe, fair and fun place to be! 


Thanks Mums, Dads and whanau! We love the little notes you've left us on our Writing Wall! 

We have some amazing artists in Room 10. Here are some of our self portraits. 

We drew a diagram to show what we thought a brain was like inside! It's a bit hard to see Sennen's drawing here but it'll be up on the wall soon. You'll be amazing at the detail!
