Jump Jam with Brett Fairweather

Jump Jam with Brett Fairweather

Today we had a visit from the founder of Jump Jam - Brett Fairweather who took us for a brief Jump Jam session on the court. It was great to see everyone moving. Brett has been making Jump Jam videos for schools for 17 years. He taught us one song from his latest Jump Jam DVD #19 - which was very cool - then took us through Witch Doctor - an oldy but a goodie! Jump Jam is a great way to keep fit.

Space Day in Jellyfish Cove

We had a fabulous day with Anne-Marie. She shared with us some of her knowledge about rockets, space shuttles, launching into space and planets. It was fun to dress up in astronaut training suits. We have so much to learn about Space and can't wait to see where this learning takes us. Maybe to Infinity and Beyond!!

Patterning in Jellyfish Cove

We have been practising patterns in Jellyfish Cove. Patterns are everywhere!! They are in our clothing, outside in our playground, on walls, on the concrete - even in our food!
Some patterns follows an A,B,A,B pattern like this -

               Or an A,A,B, A,A,B pattern like these

Or an A,B,C,A,B,C pattern like Josiah's

Or even an A,B,C,D,E,F, A,B,C,D,E,F pattern like these -

A pattern repeats itself over and over

The Sunflower that went Flop

The Sunflower that went Flop!
When we arrived back at school, after the holidays, we were really surprised to find a huge sunflower had grown outside our room. We watched the flower grow until finally it bloomed. It was as big as a dinner plate.

We watered the sunflower everyday - but eventually it went 'flop!' The birds came to eat the seeds. We could hear them chirping outside our classroom!

April - You wouldn't believe it! When we finally took the head off the sunflower - it was way bigger than a dinner plate. It was around 350 cm wide!

We will keep the seeds for next season and see what happens then!

We're all in this together

We're all in this together

We were really pleased to present in assembly this last week. Our item was "We're all in this together" which celebrated our sense of belonging not just to Jellyfish Cove, but to Hoon Hay School and Aotearoa.  We are excited to be working alongside our buddy class from  Te Kanawa's Cove - Room 15
