Star of the week weeks two and three.

 

Isabelle is our star this week (week three) for her excellent progress in all learning areas. She has not been with us long but is amazing in her retention of new ideas, her application of knowledge and her ability to read and write. Isabelle is a real delight to teach and I am so fortunate to have her in Room One!

Our Star in week two was Maddi.

Maddi is always in the right place at the right time. She is polite, helpful, kind and conscientious, a great friend to all and always prepared to help others with their learning. She is good at explaining her ideas and is a joy to teach. Well done, Maddi, keep it up!

Weeks two and three term four!

Good heavens, time whizzes by so fast I didn't realise I omitted to post a Blog last week - apologies!

We went to the Suter Art gallery this week for 'Music and art' - the children made high and low sounds following the lines on this amazing painting!

Whilst listening to music we made high and low marks with pastels on our huge paper.

All the helpers had a go too - we did three more pieces of art influenced by short sounds, bouncy and smooth ones too.

Scissor action jumps with our leading leg...

We are learning how to high jump..

Introducing ourselves with our full name and address - ka pai, Maddi!

 Constable garland is helping us with our topic 'Keeping Ourselves safe' and taught the children how to stand strong.

Toast making...

 Our Poem this week is 'Toast' :
A silver scaled dragon
With jaws burning red,
Sits at my elbow
And toasts my bread.
I have him fat slices
And then one by one
he hands them back
When they are done... What better way to learn than through eating? Be wary - you all have a dragon in your kitchen!!!

Discovery ....making houses.

We are learning how to 'move on' when throwing a dice, taking the correct number of steps as shown on the dice through numerals and dot patterns - keep it up children you are doing so well!

Hazel followed our discovery instructions and made a model - come and see the full Discovery Time photo record in our foyer in SeaView block.

Certificates for wonderful homework with 'a'.Well done Hazel and Jack..

...Isabelle and Philippa....

Capacity is our 'strand' in Maths this term. We are using Rice bubbles to compare capacity of containers of different sizes by pouring from one into another.

Hands-on pouring and capacity - many thanks to the Birchwood Kindy for allowing us to share their water trough.

We were fortunate to have been given two boxes of apples from Enza, the children loved eating them whilst waiting to start the masked parade.

Yummy!!
