Library Forts

At the library room 7 read a book about how to make forts. We worked in groups of 5 to make our own forts. We had to work as a team. We used sheets, pillows, chairs and tables. One of our groups turned their fort into a library, another group chose to make a boy's room and girl's room. The final group made two rooms, one with pillows to make the ground comfortable. This is the room where you read softcover books. The other bedroom was empty and was to read hardcover books. The reason for this is because we have a rule that hardcover books have to be on the floor or on a table in order to protect the spine. This group also incorporated the library computers into their fort as their office. We thought this was pretty cool. All three groups worked wonderfully together and had such wonderful ideas.

Our Best Adventures

In room 7 we like to celebrate our learning. Below are three learners that worked very hard today. Ka rawe Vanessia, Kendric and Zahra. 

We Love the Library

We love library time! Our library has lots of fun books and so many fun places to read them. Our teachers always reads us a book at the start of library time then we get to go pick our own to take back to class. What is your favourite place to read? We really like reading outside.

Maritime Museum

On Friday, room 7 went to the Maritime Museum with room 2 and room 3. We learnt all about adventuring and exploring and what that looked like back in the 'olden days'. We got to see lots of boats, both big and small. Lee showed us some of the things you would take on a boat when you go on a big trip. We thought it was pretty cool how he talked about the Pacific Islands and how they found New Zealand.
