Keeping up to date...

Hello!

It is now Term 3 and Ruma Ruru is straight back into learning after a refreshing holiday.

Term 2 saw plenty of fun and interesting things...

We lost lots of teeth...

We taught each other...



 









We taught Chef Spag about fractions and equal sharing...





We took lots of 'selfies'...

We performed in plays...

We took more 'selfies'...

We had special visitors...

We planted spring bulbs for our inquiry...

 And we took more 'selfies'...

 

We had plenty of birthdays...

We learned how to play "SpeedBall" from our big buddy class - what a great game!

 We tried so hard our faces turned bright pink!

 We made our very own Ruma Ruru Post Shop - fingers crossed you will have an exciting letter coming soon.

Waikato colours!! We didn't even realise until we had finished.

And we had our first Jnr Choir performance...

You are welcome to come in and check out all our learning as this is only a sneak peak of the 'life of a  Ruru.'

Well that is all for now. Keep checking for more updates on Term 3. Book Week starts tomorrow...we can't wait!

Take Care,
Love Ruma Ruru :)

Matariki...a time for sharing!

We were busy Rurus today with our buddy class, Kakapo, celebrating Matariki.

We watched a video about Matariki then made our own pictures with pastels and dye showing the 'seven stars.'

Check out our awesome pictures..

 Performing the play 'The Ant and the Grasshoopers' in front of the class...well done Sophie, Alicia, Carter, Ollie, and Anika - we enjoyed your show.

Clever Rurus and there reading and writing activities that earned them a spot on the quality work table this week!

Last week we were lucky enough to have a special visitor in our room...super cute and super soft. Thank you Anika for sharing your friendly puppy with us, she is welcome back anytime for more snuggles! :)

That's all for now team...more updates to come next week.
We hope everyone is keeping warm...

Love Ruma Ruru :)

Celebrating Learning

In Ruru we are working hard on our letters, sounds, words and numbers.

These clever Ruru's have created posters with their full names and numbers.. Well done boys!

We also like to celebrate our learning with our 'Quality Work' Table! 

Everyone works really hard to get their work onto this table...

Watch this space for photos of our hard work.

We would also like to say a big thank-you to our parents, brothers and sisters who come in each morning to help us with our reading and handwriting. We really appreciate your support and you have been snapped by our 'Explorer' for your efforts!

Have a lovely week :)

Sustainable Communities Through Kai

Kia Ora!

We have begun our new inquiry into 'sustainable communities through kai' and Ruru has been busy gathering wonderings about what we could investigate. 

We have finally come to our Big Question  - 

"I wonder if we can grow our own foods and make something from it to share?"

We now have to decide how to make this happen! There are a lot of things we must consider:

What will we grow?

What is in season?

How do we plant and look after it?

How long does it take to produce food?

Where we will grow our food? Inside or outside?

How will we get our supplies needed to grow things? 

What will we do once the food is ready?

Some food for thought...

Start leaving comments so we can chat about them on Monday!!

Have a lovely weekend and looking forward to sharing our ideas further on Monday!

Smiles,

Miss Welch :)
