Mindfulness

In Room 16 we have been practicing mindfulness everyday after lunch. This hasn't been easy for some of us as we struggle to stop, think and breathe but we are trying and always feel better afterwards. We know that mindfulness helps us with lots of things like resetting our minds and bodies so we are ready for learning, helping us let go of things that worry us, refocusing ourselves, our breathing and being aware of ourselves and our mind and thoughts and also thanking our bodies and minds for all the hard work that they do. Here are some pictures of us doing our mindfulness meditation.

    

Here is one that we have had a go at. Check it out and give it a go at home if you want to.

Parachute Fun!!

Kia ora koutou katoa,
Room 16 has been having lots of fun using our new parachute that Whaea Chloe got for us. We have enjoyed playing games to get used to using it. We loved playing 'Mushroom', 'Popcorn and 'Keep The Ball Rolling'. We had so much fun that we keep asking if we can use it again!!
We have also been working hard at writing about our parachute experience and can't wait to share our writing on our blog with you all.

Maths Mahi

Kia ora koutou katoa,
We have been enjoying our maths learning and love using our environment to show numbers.
We have been learning to show our numbers by using groups as it is an easier way to work out the total number. We love discovering the different ways we can group different numbers and having to problem solve when we can't quite figure out why our groups aren't always equal.

Kia ora whanau, Room 16 has been loving our maths mahi. We have enjoyed exploring numbers and being problem solvers. We have also been using our maths eyes to find maths in our environment and we are getting very good at it. We really enjoyed exploring statistics with our Disney character tiles and we were able to sort our tiles into groups and find the characters that had the least and most tiles. We are also getting awesome at justifying our answers and explaining how we got them with our learning buddies.
