I love your alphabet Room 14 and it makes me want to explore more of Aotearoa. I have to ask what is "zorbing?"
ReplyDeleteZorbing is when you go down a hill inside a big clear ball called a zorb. You could do this in Rotorua in the Christmas holidays, we would like to know how it feels to be inside a zorb so please tell us all about it when you are finished!
ReplyDeleteWell Room 14 what an impressive list and aren't you doing well with the number of comments from all around the world you have received so far. You have quite a following already! Yes your blog does look fantastic and on what is a rather wet and gloomy day here in Auckland (again) reading through your posts has cheered me up and put a smile on my face. Well done and keep up your blogging as its great to read about what you are learning in your class.

Thanks for leaving a comment on our blog Pt England Scribes. We were amazed to read you have Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 children all in one class and that you have 26 children. We're only a Year 3 and 4 and have 30 children. It sounds like you're learning some interesting things.
ReplyDeleteP.S We like doing alphabet keys too.

Hi room 14,
ReplyDeleteWOW that was a good poetry that you guys done. Some of us we couldn't actually get all the the way up to z but we still did the letters up to u only. I really loved it. I hope you write more things about new zealand.
