Hi my name is Maia. My goal is to work towards purple in reading. I like maths at school.

Simon's Cat

At the moment Room 7 is crazy about the cartoon series Simon's Cat. There are loads of different small episodes on Youtube. You can find the link to the website Simon's Cat under "Fun Learning Links" to find out more!

Week 4

This week we have been learning how to ask someone their name in Te Reo Maori by saying "Ko Wai To Ingoa?" - "What is your name?" We reply by saying "Ko Elias Toku Ingoa" which means "My name is Elias" or we can say "Ko Elias Ahau" which means "I am Elias".

Enjoy our videos below that will show you how we use these Maori phrases in Room 7.

Week 3

This week we have been learning about the process of writing starting with using our SPARKS book to help us jot down sentences or words about an idea. Then we went off and used our jottings to help us write our ideas down into sentences. Next week we will learn how to edit our writing to check that it makes sense for the reader to enjoy! 


We had fun writing about bubbles! We used our senses to help us to write ideas. We also had a fun afternoon decorating our names using crayons covered in black pastel. We then had to scratch our name out to have a new more colourful name appear!

I have to do my homework book, spelling, reading and basic sight words and plus and take aways. We are drawing our names and using crayons.

Hi my name is Elias.you should woche our videos and make some comments.

Hi I am nicole.I have a dog called chalie. I am on gold for reading.my mum is called ang and my dad is called matt. I like school.

I am working on my spelling reading and my goals are working towards level silver.

Week 2!

Room 7 has had an exciting 2nd week! We have been swimming everyday! This week we have been learning how to use studyladder and storybird. Here is a pic of us using storybird. 

Storybird is a lot of fun because you can create your own story using amazing illustrations to inspire you to write.

We have also been working on creating our family trees which help us to learn more about our whakapapa and this will help us better understand our mihimihi too!

We had to draw our family members, write their names, and write down whether they are a koro, kuia, tungane, tuahine, mama or papa.

I will like to work on my reading and spelling. I would like to be reading at Gold.

I would rather work on my spelling. I am just on level 5 and I'm getting most up to 7.

My names Krista and I like Butter chicken. This is my first time on the blog.
My learning goal is to get better at times tables.

I hope you have a good time on Room 7's blog.
From Ayshia.

Week 1 of our first term back!

Room 7 has had a very busy first week at school! It has been lots of fun getting to know each other.
We have been busy planning our classroom rules as a class as well as talking about how to make our classroom a happy, safe place to learn in. 

We read "Have you filled a bucket today?" to help us think more deeply about how we treat others. 

We learned about the Treaty of Waitangi, started reading our classroom novel, "Billionaire Boy". We are practicing learning our mihimihi as well as learning about our family.

It is exciting that we are swimming in week 2 everyday in the middle block. Don't forget your togs.
