Instructions, instructions, instructions!

In reading we looked around the class for instructions on how to make and do things we found lots of things to do. here are some examples how to do a crossword, how to do a tangram, our ghastly cook book, how to do board  games.

Height investigation

In February Room 34 all measured our heights and recorded them. We also estimated how tall we would be in December. This week we all measured our heights again to see how close we got. Check out the graph that shows our results. Some people came pretty close to their estimate and some grew even taller! We found that many of us grew exactly 5cm this year. Obviously Joel grew even more than that!

Week 7

Week 7 update

It has been a very busy week for room34 .

Zara, Greer,Zac and Blake went to Colin maiden park for a cricket tournament. The boys came 3 or 4th place and the girls came 2nd or 3rd. The kapa haka group went to Waiamarie hospital to preform and one of them even did break dancing for them! On Thursday we had the picnic. Good job to all the year 4's who participated in the event. Have a good weekend
