Week three in Ngaio, Feb15th - 19th 2016

We painted huge pictures of ourselves - do come and see them hanging in our room.We made up a story each to go with our amazing paintings. 

Taking advantage of the sun and learning to write our letter of the week - 'a'.

We love singing our A,B.C's and pointing to each letter as we go.

"Wow, Mrs Savill, come and see our tower it is taller than us, nearly as tall as you! It may fall over..."

The i-pads in our room are loaded with apps the children love to use, here you can see Lillybellex learning her letter sounds and making words.

Ella loves the word machine and is helping Kayla read.

Mrs Shepard reading to us, as we joined together for our Discovery Time - the new display is up in the foyer in our block. If you haven't yet come to see it, please do, we are taking turns beautifully and this is our focus, making a difference to how we work together.

Choosing percussion in music this week - what awesome shakers we have!

This is Mrs Hatton who was relieving on Thursday morning.

We have been learning about probability using the terms 'will' 'won't' and 'might'.

Using the Little Red Riding Hood story we decided what we will see in a forest, might see and won't see...

Swimming on Thursday - we were so lucky it didn't rain!!

Vince learned that Te Pakira is only a little taller than him and if she can stand up in the pool then so can he and he didn't need to be afraid.

These are our helping Mums, so great you can come and assist us each week, ladies! Thank you!

Although Alex has a box on his head, the learning from this play before school was incredible.

The boys loved making various contraptions in Rm3.

This was a fun activity - balance is our focus and we were trying to balance on the wood whilst holding a ruler, balancing as many jelly beans as we wanted to without dropping them!
