Lung Capacity

Today we did a lesson on educanon We watched a video that paused every now and then to ask questions to check our understanding.
Afterwards we each got a balloon to fill with ONLY ONE breath. This meant that we needed to take a deep breath first, and then empty out our lungs into the balloon.
We were able to compare who had the greater lung capacity and who had less.

 

Thumbs Up Thursday

Would you believe it, week one back at school has already finished. It was a short week I suppose, with Waitangi Day tomorrow. 

We spent this week getting to know each other better. Today we each bought an item from home which we shared with a friend. Our friend then shared our item, and why it was special to us with the class.

 It was a great way to learn more about one another, and practice speaking aloud. 

Welcome to Room 7 Learn Zone!

Kia Ora tamariki and whānau and welcome to Room 7.  I am your teacher Mrs Parker and am looking forward to getting to know you all this year.  Firstly a little about myself, I live with my husband  Tamati in Auckland and we are busy renovating our house.  I love cooking and creating new recipes.  At school I enjoy maths, social studies and sports the most.  I also like listening to music and riding my bike.  This summer I have been learning to ride my new  Stand up Paddle Board [SUP].  It's huge - 10ft tall - I am only 5.5"!  This year I am looking forward to seeing all the learners  at Glenbrae and in Room 7 learning and challenging themselves.  We are going to spend the first couple of weeks getting to know ourselves and one another. To get you thinking in the meantime I want to share this question from Kid President with you:  The world would be a more awesome if___________________  If what? You tell me.
