Week ten and Merry Christmas to you all!

What an exciting last week of school we had, as we presented our Celebration of Learning and the most incredible thing was that four of our class only started school last week (week nine) yet still joined in our waiata and sang so beautifully, learning the actions and loving every moment. This meant that 21 New Entrants all played a part - well done everyone!

The girls moko looked great!

Here is Clinton loving having his applied to his upper arm.

"Lie still Imogen, nearly done!".

We are awesome!

My girls ready to go - all seven of them.

The boys lining up - two photos with half one one side of the girl group....

... and half on the other!

Ella is a little whizz and completed her first sticker chart.

This was my class on the last day, before sending home photos for those moving on to Room Four.

On the last day of school I donned my 'Santa's little helper' outfit and Cooper took this photo before my mad hat played tunes and the children received their gifts.

Great excitement opening our pressies.

Look at my Christmas tree rubber/eraser.

 It is now traditional that every child who leaves my class receives a laminated certificate from me with a collage of photos of there time in Room One on the revers so here goes with all my 'movers' leaving us for 2016.

Te Pakira also completed her flower goal sheet for writing progress too this week!

When I was printing Keiras photo sheet I pressed print twice, so she got two collages!

I hope you all have throughly enjoyed this term, I know I have. Thanks so much for the lovely gifts and special cards, so thoughtful, and some of you Mums wrote the most amazing comments. Thank you! Have a safe and restful Christmas and enjoy the New Year.  I know I will be taking a break and we will probably bump into each other in the holidays. xx

Week nine - its nearly Christmas!

Keira is ready for Christmas already...

Noah brought these intricate models to show and tell.

This pile of earth are fascinating but we don't know what it is for...

Noah started in Room One this week, welcome Noah!

Vince started school too.

Emma came on her first visit.

Jaxson has filled another sticker chart!

James started in Ngaio too.

Ewan came on his first visit, like Emma.

We went on a listening walk and drew the things we could hear.

Our last week of tennis with Suzanne.

Making Christmas Angels - they are all hanging up in class and look gorgeous!

Vince, another new child, working carefully on his Christmas spinner.

Look at these angels! Stunning! They will go home at the end of term and will look great for years to come.

Cohen brought two of his nine puppies to show and tell, they are totally adorable and Mrs Savill was sorely tempted...

Snuggly!

Rudolph came to visit too.

Noah has an American rugby ball.

Sharing a doodling sketch book.

Kayla was on a visit too this week.

Maths shapes, we can now name many shapes and know how many sides and corners they have!

Our Christmas postbox is emptied every day by our special helper.

Noah was really helpful to Cohen with cutting out his shapes.

Buddy reading is awesome!
