MINION MANIA weeks 5 & 6: finding the WOW in our learning

It has been a very busy and exciting few weeks in the Mighty Minion classroom.

We went on a special trip in week 5 with the Busy Bees to Ambury Farm.

The Minions had so much fun learning about farm animals and the farm environment.

Check out what some minions had to say:

"It was really cool learning about sheep"- Junior

Excited on the bus- Vishaka

Feeding the lambs. "They are so cute."- Helen

Brothers Sini and James feeding the chickens

feeding the goats! So cute- Lemmy

We really enjoyed our trip to the farm.

Stay tuned for some of the Minions exciting recount writing to be published on our blog.

Lots of Learning of learning makes us glad, Check out all the fun we've had!

WOW! Week 4 has flown by and the Mighty Minions have had lots of fun learning and experimenting with different things this week.

We introduced "Sam" the storybook this week to help us understand our shared book:

"We like "Sam" the storybook- he has arms and legs."- Timoti

"We answered the questions by ourselves."- Nathaniel and Vishaka

During Maths time this week we were looking at numbers and number words:

Malu was learning all about the number 4 and different ways to make and use this number.

Lemmy was matching up number word, digit, place value and materials puzzles. These were tricky puzzles but he persisted and wanted to make it right. Well done Lemmy!

Cassius and Dronix were doing these puzzles as well. They enjoyed the challenge and want to see if they can do it faster next time. Ka Pai boys!

Mighty Minions were Super Scientists this week: all about going green to keep the earth clean!

The Minions learnt about planting seeds and germination this week.

After we talked about what plants need to grow we planted our own seeds.

Check out the photos, we are so excited to see how they grow!

"I wonder how big it will grow!"- Hoa

WALT make healthy sandwiches for lunch

Look at our healthy sandwiches:

Timoti: "The healthy sandwiches are yummy."

Hoa: "We made the sandwich with butter and cheese on wheatmeal bread."

RJ: "We put butter, ham and cheese on our sandwiches.  It was yum."

Some of us experimented with our healthy sandwiches....

they didn't quite taste how we thought they would =)

Cassius learnt not to mix heaps of marmite with ham and cheese. It didn't taste very nice!!
