Week six in our lovely classroom.

Our letter of the week this week is 'm' and we made ourselves place mats with our own idea of a 'marvellous meal' on it. We plan to dye these and have them laminated next week so that we can bring them home and use at home when eating our meals at the table.

In maths our focus has been making a whole into two halves and identifying half of a shape.

Bodie showing his two halves of the whole ball he made like Macey, above.

Phoenix is learning to write 1/2 as well.

Continuing our technology unit of 'I like to move it, move it' we explored making our own spinners from a pencil and a lid from a container - see how they go!

Part of the fun of halving was eating a half a piece of bread!

Maia had her first visit this week.

Cross country was on Wednesday and the weather was perfect! Off you go, boys.

The start of th egirls race for Room One, Ngaio.

Annelise has completed her sticker chart.

English has completed his, too.

A little musical moment (we have lots of these!)

We have made a class book about 'Something you need to know when you start school' and this was the photo for the front - thought you'd like to see it. Macey was off sick, though.

A visit from Captain Cashtastic from ASB bank on Friday was a hit. He taught the children about spending and saving and they have learned to 'speed to your needs, and wait for your wants'.

Sammy filled her chart as well.

Isla did great homework.

Friday afternoon, relaxing together in the sandpit, playing beautifully and sharing.

We are such a tidy class we were awarded the "we care " award as we look after our environment.
