Worm Farm

We have re-established our worm farm. Thank you to Sarah from the Enviornment Centre who helped us get this back up and running. We have moved the location of our worm farm to behind the recycling shed, as this is cooler for the worms. We were able to see and help with the new set up, new worms and foundation. We are feeding our worm farm fruit, and natural vegetables.

The children understand what types of fruit can be put in, as the worms can not have citirus fruits, also they can only have un- sprayed vegetable scraps.

Feel free to drop in and feed the worms, please cut them up as small as. Possible to help the worms. The first layer, is where the worms are at the moment. Come and see!

Swimming sports this Tuesday 11th March, 2014

We have been working very hard in Room 4 to develop our strokes, style and fitness. We working at different levels, but have set individual goals we wish to achieve. It is great to see the students confidence in the water continuing to develop, and strengthen.

We are looking forward to the swimming sports this Tuesday. We are all hoping to compete in an event. These are held at the Frimley Pools. Parents, family, and whanau are more than welcome to come and watch, we would love to see you there.

Friendly visit from the teeny, tiny, little pukeko's
Jessie's Mum brought in 2 little Pukeko's for us to meet. They had been rescued. They had been caring and providing for these beautiful little creatures.

We were lucky enough to see them walk and talk. We also had a quick hold. It was amazing to see the long slender legs that they would grow into.

The children worked on being as quite as a mouse, as to not scare them. They were VERY good at this.

We watched closely their feeding time, they were very hungry, and ate directly off the spoon. Some of us were brave and let them eat of our fingers.

Thank you so very much for bringing these amazing little creatures in. We were all very surprised to see how little they were, we had to be very delicate. 

Picnic Evening,

Room 4's ipads

We are excited to be using our electronics devices. We worked in small groups to find an answer to a question about our topic. We participated and worked together, to research, and come to a conclusion about the findings, one example being from Aria, Ally, Jessie and Ashlyn.

How  fast do bees fly?
Bees can fly up  to 20 miles but because they are usually carrying nectar or pollen they only fly 15 -10 miles per hour.

Fluff

We had a very exciting day on Wednesday, 6th November, where we had a very special guest visit us in the classroom. Linus brought in his pet rabbit 'Fluff'. A lovely, brown fluffy bunny who enjoyed making new friends.

We were able to hold and feed Fluff, it was a great experience.

Children asked a variety of questions about 'Fluff'. His habitat, feeding and routines. 

He enjoyed being the focus, and the attention of the children. 

He jumped and bounced around, showing off his skills to the children. 

We were very excited to hold Fluff. He was a very cuddly fur ball. 

A few of us were lucky enough to feed him- he was such a fast eater. 

Fantastic fours!
We have had a very exciting first day, welcoming new students into the class, and welcoming back the team here at Twyford School. The children within room four have been very busy bees. We have constructed a class treaty, that has established our classroom expectations. We have looked closely at our responsibilities as a room 4 student, such as the vegetable garden and worm farm. We had a lot of fun, watering it and picking a few of the vegetables.

Swimming begins tomorrow, please remember to bring togs and a towel.
