Room 4 have been learning the different types of questions. There are closed questions also known as skinny questions and open questions also known as fat questions. Their teacher Miss Glover has a special toolbox for helping her class think.She has some special dice that say how, who, what, why, when, where and which.

I have just discovered that room 4 loves pukeko. They have a tea towel that has a in their class which also has some writing on it that says: The exotic looking pukeko is New Zealand’s own swamp hen and well-known for its intense colour and bold fearlessness. Pukeko are often seen alongside new Zealand farms and roads ,so be careful when driving through our beautiful country. And who could forget room 4′s class pet, Puke pukeko. Room 4′s teacher, Miss Glover’s son is getting married in Christchurch on Easter. Good luck to you, Tim and Lizzy.

Room four have been making a GIANT beehive. They made the hive out of strong paper, then coloured it in with brown crayons. The bee’s are made of yellow and black paper,pipe cleaners and bubble wrap!!! The kids cut out the shapes of the legs and the stripes. They stapled the legs and stripes then use pipe cleaners for the antenae. They cut the bubble wrap into ovals and used it for the bee’s wings. Room 4 have to do some special morning jobs:
* Hang up my bag and jacketewater bottle
*Return my reading book to my gruop book basket.
*Check my pencil
This is what some of the room 4 students did in the weekend.

Room four is doing a experiment on what acid does to the baby tooth. First they put a baby tooth in a cup and they put lemon juice in the cup with the tooth. Then they used another cup and they put a baby tooth in it with coca cola. Then they waited to see what the acidity does to the human baby tooth.

In room four they have been learning about spiders and things about them. Afterwards they wrote explanations and facts about the spiders, and they also drew pictures of them using black coloured crayons. Then they presented their wonderful spiders along with their explanations and facts during school assembly.
