zero waste school

Yesterday room 16 had a tour to the worm farm and compost bin.
 Our goal is to be a zero waste school because we want a tidy school.
Always REUSE, REDUCE, RECYCLE.
When we have yoghurt containers we - Wash it ,  Squash it,   Put it in the bin.

Jump jam crazy

JUMP JAM is a great and exciting exercise to do in the morning on Friday.  We do loads of dancing to  warm up for the day.  Jump jam has loads of different dancing songs. When we're finished we do a little bit of yoga.

I like JUMP JAM because it is really fun!

The Room 16 Brainiacs

We have had a busy first few weeks getting to know each other and establishing rules and routines in our class.  We have created our class treaty together and formed a class korowai (cloak) with our class rules and school values on it.  Our rules and values were written on strips of card which were then interwoven to create our korowai.  We added some feathers with our names on it to the top of our korowai.  It looks amazing!  We also agreed on a name for our learning class - The Room 16 Brainiacs!
