Lotta loves to play her violin. Room 1 had lots of questions about Lotta's violin, and Lotta was able to answer all of them! We found out that the violin has 4 strings and it can be played with a bow or by plucking the strings. We enjoyed Lotta's performance so much we listened to it twice! Great work Lotta!

Room 1 'Sentence Gems' from our 100 Days of Learning Recounts

Room 1 has been busy writing recounts about our 100 days of learning celebrations. Here are a few exciting sentences from our writing for you to enjoy! 


On Thursday, in the morning, Grey Lynn School went to 100 days of learning. Then we saw mums, dads, brothers and sisters. Cassie


On to the dance. We did cool moves. So cool it would blow your mind. Then BOOM! Hey, your mind blew! Seko


On Thursday I got up "Yaaa" it's 100 days of learning. I jumped out of bed and ran to my clothes and put my lunch box on the table. I'm going to school...walk, walk, walk.  Tupaia


I totally loved the jump jam. I loved it so much that I asked my Mum if we could buy the music. Emily


I showed my parents my art. We were walking around to look for the classroom that had the art. Finally we found the art room and we looked around for my printing block. My Mum found it. It was at the bottom of the cupboard. Talie


The art looked amazing. I mean a-m-a-z-i-n-g. You got it! Amazing! Oliver


I felt sad when my Mum went home. I liked the dancing. Alex


Then Donna clapped. Guess what happened next? Morning tea? NO!! It was our performance. Matthew


On Thursday at Grey Lynn School, guess what day it was! 100 days of learning. Mums, dads, grandads, nanas, sisters, brothers all came. Francis


Oh no!!! It's 100 days of learning. We need to get out of here. we went to school, luckily we were on time. Woo -woo, oh man the bell. I went inside with my Mum. We did the roll and then we got to share our learning. Felix


Then my cousin came in!!! I was so happy. After that we watched the band. I loved watching my sister. I felt amazed at how good she played! Lotta


I felt impressed because Nana could come and she lives in Titirangi. Also Dad, because he has to go to work to get money for Mum to spend at shops. As well, Mum, because she's busy. Ashley


In the morning I was very, very excited because ... it was 99 days of learning. Just kidding, it as 100 days of learning. I leaped out of my bed because I was so, so happy. I got my clothes on and we were off! Paloma
