Week six in Room One.

Hi everyone, thanks for visiting our blog! Sadly I was away sick on Monday and Tuesday so only have a few days worth of pictures to share with you but I hope these suffice to show you some of the great learning experiences we have had - including our 'den day' on Thursday as D is our letter of the week...

Jason started school on Wednesday

Keira came for her first school visit.

Show and tell - Isaac, who started school on Monday is loving his sharing time .

Addison modelling Frankie's tiara - the boys enjoyed being princes!

Den day snack time!

Can you see us under here?

Cooper has filled his sticker chart...

Rebecca has completed her second sticker chart!

Problem solving maths with Room Two, making bridges for the gingerbread man to cross the river...

Comparing who made the longest bridge (interestingly most of the children were sure theirs was the longest bridge!).

Eli received his writing goal certificate from a while ago as he had been off sick.

Eli and his homework certificate too...

... and a very proud Frankie with hers. Well done !

NEXT WEEK
We have the story teller ZeBong coming on Tuesday (Please pay $4 to the office for your child) and Skipping September starts on Tuesday.
Have a lovely weekend!

Star of the week, week six.

Our star of the week this week is Isla, for always doing her best in Room One.

Isla is always reliable, helpful, knows what we should be doing, when we are doing it and is quick to help others to stay on task and find anything they need. She tries her best at all times, has a super-star caring nature and is a delight to teach. Ka Pai, Isla , keep up the super attitude!

Week five in Ngaio. Another week of sickness, sadly.

For Show and Tell we  bring our favourite toys to talk about!

Eli completed his sticker chart.

We experimented with our colour wheels and can spin them to make new colours - red and yellow made a super orange and here you can see the red and blue before making purple whilst spinning.

Colour mixing, using primary colours to make secondary ones and fruit to match - do come and enjoy our display!

Isla filled her second chart too!

We went on a 'listening walk' as a focus for our writing and used our whiteboards to draw the things we heard, not what we could see. We then referred to ur drawn records to decide what we could write about hearing today.

Our letter this week is 'C ' so we made cat masks and learned a little poem to recite for Junior Team Time on Wednesday and shared it with our friends. Can you child remember the words and tell you?
It starts :Pussy cat, Pussy cat, where have you been...?

Experimenting with forces as part of our 'move it' science unit.

In our sign language class we have been talking in pairs in sign and saying what we have and what you have...

You can see how the girls are doing a great job hiding their visuals from each other (everyone had a visual of food, drink, a computer, a hat, a toilet or a book and the task was to tell your partner what you have and ask what they have then check with each other).

Extending our measuring to use non-standard until and starting at the bottom each time.

Cooper and his friends then went on to find out how tall they were in Duplo blocks!

More striking skills...

What a star!

Another star!

And more homework certificates for those who were sick last week....

We have had so many children away this week with illnesses, I hope next week is better! Keep warm, stay home if you are sick and see you when you're fully recovered, lovely children!
