We have been reading giant stories. We read The Hungry Giant - he was very angry. We thought of lots of other words to describe him...nuts....selfish...mean...evil...bad...naughty...impolite...bad-mannered...crazy.
The giant in The Smartest Giant in Town (by Julia Donaldson) was different! He was good...kind...sharing...helpful...nice.
You are great WORD MASTERS room 6 - you can think up lots of interesting words to use!
Make sure you come in, to look at our paintings of giants!

Discovery Time
Today, we started our Discovery Time sessions. This is a bit like choosing time. The teachers had lots of different activities set up in the classrooms and outside, and we worked with all of the kids in Wharemauku not just kids from room 6. Today, lots of room 6 people went and played in the sandpit with the new sandpit toys. Some people made castles in the sand. Other people built things with the wooden blocks and with the boxes. There were lots of other things to choose too, dress ups, play dough, lego, craft activities, painting, water play.
We talked about being INVOLVED - participating in the different activities, and choosing where we wanted to go. All of the room 6 children got really involved today - after morning tea, we talked about the things we had done and wrote stories about today's Discovery Time. You can read them in our writing books.
It was great fun and we can't wait until next week's Discovery Time. Some of the activities will be the same and we're wondering what new things we can get involved in!

Our First Week
Wow, what a fun first week back at school!
We are all a little tired, particularly after lunch. It's a bit hard getting used to being back at school all day!
We have been really busy - reading, writing, maths, games outside, music, art - all in our first week!
