Our Class Museum

We all chose something old to bring along to school to share in our class museum.

Here are some of our special old things....

and here are a few more.

Loud Shirt Day

Here we are in our loud shirts.  We were allowed to come along to school in our loud shirts to help out people with hearing problems.

Silly Hat Day

Look at this gorgeous bunch of people all decked out in their silly hats!!

Lunchtime for Bailey and Cohen....

and Bella, Kenny, Miah and Samelliah.

School in the Olden Days

This is how the children used to dress way back in the olden days.

We tried out a few games from the olden days, here we are playing four square.....

and now snail hopscotch....

 Back inside we had a go at knucklebones.....

Outside for hopscotch...

and then into the hall for skipping.

After skipping we had a go at playing marbles.

The Vintage Machinery Club

 Mr Davidson spoke to us about all the different tractors that we saw at the Vintage Machinery Club.  Thanks for showing us around the place.

 We tried to guess what the 'white round thing' was.  Wow, it was an old washing machine - we don't have washing machines like that at our house!!

 We saw heaps of tractors there...

 and lawn mowers.

 We even saw an old telephone exchange.  Wow, we can just pick up our own phone to call someone or even phone or text from our mobile phones.

Do you know what these things are?  They are old shearing combs for shearing sheep.

The McGregors museum

We saw lots of old things at Mr and Mrs McGregor's Museum, including an old telephone, an old pram and even an old butter churn.  The butter churn was way up high on the shelf.  Mrs McGregor showed us an old gramophone and even played us an old record on it!!  Thank you Mr and Mrs McGregor for letting us visit your museum.

Our trip 'Out and about around Winton'

We were all excited to board the bus and travel out to two different museums in Winton.  A big thank you to our bus driver and all the parents who came along with us.

Our Assembly Performance

All the practising we have done in class, has really paid off.  Here we are performing our item at assembly - The Room 6 Superstars!!

Learning the 10's frame game on our iPads.

Last Friday we worked in small groups to learn how to play the 10's frames game on our iPads.  Here we are all working together in our groups.  We enjoy playing this game as part of our maths rotation.

Room 6 children showing their pukana

We have loved learning the 'Taniwha' song with Mrs Squires, as part of our Friday arts rotation.  Here we are doing the pukana.
