Week Eight in Room One.

Welcome to the Blog for Room One. We have had a great week leading up to Easter with our Safe Walking programme running every day, lots of visitors to our class, two new children and a 'good-bye' at the end of the week to five of our students who have moved class and will be with Miss Driver when we come back to school after the short easter Break.
I hope you enjoy reading about our week and looking at the photo record.Please leave a comment if you have time, it is appreciated so much.

Welcome to Carey! Carey started school on Wednesday and is such a happy boy to be with his friends he remembers from Kindergarten.
 Welcome to Ruby! Ruby joins us in Room One from Australia! She knows about koalas and kangaroos... we do not know how long she will be with us but are enjoying her company and making her feel at home in our classroom.

Safe Walking with Constable McKitrick.
We began our safe walking lessons with awareness around cars. We were looking out for signs they may be moving, going to reverse or turn, what to look and listen for and where to stand if we thought a car was going to be on the move.
 

We crossed the road as a big 'wave' at one point.

Renee came on a visit!
 TABLOID SPORTS.
Tabloid sports were organised by the Year 6's with Mr Butterworth and what a fabulous event that was on Thursday morning - all the children joined mixed age teams and were able to participate in activities planned for them by the older children and rotating around the playing field. The weather was fine and a great time was had by all!
Thank you team!

Joel is helped on the balance beam


One of the many activities on offer...
Waiting for the Easter Bunny..
OUR OWN BOOKS
Every term the children in my class are encouraged to make a special book all about themselves, with photos, their own writing and drawing, a poem, a handprint, special things they like and so on and these are then laminated to go home forever. Here you can see the children enjoying their first books together!

Concentration...
Photo time - Pip from Pips Pix took individual and class photos for our class.



Looking good!
One of the things we look out for when walking - sneaky driveways!

What an amazing sight on a weekday morning - the children were very interested in this road hazard!

Sharing time - show and tell.

Xavier came on a visit and made me flowers - thank you Xavier!
COMPLETED STICKER CHARTS.
Wow, well done to Kobe and Leon for completing their reading bookmarks to take home just in time for their move to Room Three.


Learning to walk away from the kerbside and making space for people passing.

NEXT WEEK:

Next week will be a short week as there is no school on Monday or Tuesday.
Wednesday - Library Day. Please remember to bring your book back from last week in order to take a new one out and to bring your book bag to put it in. If you do not have one of your own yet these can be purchased at the office. We have four visitors this morning, Kaylee, Hadlee, Ella and Vinny.
Thursday - Mrs Lawrence will be teaching in Room One.

  1. Joel loved the Tabloid Sports and Safe Walking teaching from Const McKitrick. He has talked a lot about them since! Thank you for the great experiences. And next week I will remember Library day! ;-)
