When we have 6 counters on our mat we shout - BINGO!
Welcome to Room 1's blog. We are a Year1 class at Elm Park School in Pakuranga, Auckland, New Zealand. Our teacher is Mrs Kerr. We are looking forward to sharing our learning and adventures at school with you this year. Check our blog regularly to see what we have been up to. Please feel free to leave a comment as we would love to hear from you.
Room 1 has made a plan! We are VERY good at swimming now so we thought it might be fun to make a course to put into the swimming pool for us to use. We had 5 orange cones, 2 hoops, 2 balls and 1 frisbee. We could not use the frisbee today because the wild, wild wind might take it far, far away!
We have been learning about 2 Dimensional and 3 Dimensional Lines. For short, we called them 2D and 3D lines. We started by sketching some lines on our paper. We took our pencil for a walk,
THEN, we took our scissors for a walk! We made straight lines, round lines, diagonal lines, spiral lines (Mrs Kerr helped us to make these ones) and zig zag lines. Some of our lines are near, far, short, medium, long or extra long, over, under, down or up. Some of our lines overlap. We also made some wavy and curvy lines. Our favourite lines were the ROUND lines. We glued to make a circle and then we glued the circle onto the paper. Here is our work:

Room 1 stopped on our way to the Library to see if we could see signs of Autumn in our tree. We noticed that MOST of the leaves are still green. A few of the leaves are yellow. Only one leaf was red. We also saw a few brown leaves. There were no purple or blue leaves. We will keep watching our tree to see if there are any more changes!
I can hang upside down.
I can climb to the top.
I can hoist myself up.
Room 1 went for a little walk to see if we could see some new leaves on our favourite tree. There were NO new leaves. We wonder if anyone to...
