Weeks three and four combined...

Unfortunately I was sick in week 3 and only at school on the Monday, with so many sneezes we lost count and a bad bad cold! Then on Thursday and Friday I was away in Wellington at a PB4L conference so there were not many photos that week. It was the last time ten of our students were in my class, they moved on to Karaka, Room two and are very happy there with lovely Mrs H. I hope you enjoy seeing what we have been sharing - please chat to your child about our learning using these photos as a reminder...

Sharing time with Mrs H too.

Kobie has an amazing toy which talks and moves on a table.

Great work guys!

Last K.I.T book samples for Kayla and Alex from Ngaio class.

Tyler carefully holding one of our eggs - yes, this is real! It is from an Emu. Our inquiry learning is taking us down the route of eggs, development and life-cycles and the children are intrigued.

Sharing and discovering.

Great writing from Miecke who has completed her first goal card.

Haylie is also becoming a fab writer - 'bye girls, enjoy Room Two.

New friendships are forming too.

We are proud of ourselves in Ngaio class, we help each other and communicate well.

Damon is in Year six and comes to read to us every day now, it's wonderful to know one day we will be able to read the books he can! Go, Damon!

It's just too much for some of us!

Taking a break is a good idea sometimes.

Shared library time is fun.

Wow, Kaden with his Lexia certificate. You are working your brain really well, Kaden, every day on Core 5.

World Music with Nicky from Nelson Museum, she came to share instruments with us and we learned so much about labels, sounds, percussion and caring for instruments.

Sadly our time was short - we loved it!

About to march out to the beat of one of her instruments at the end of our super session. Thanks Nicky!

Welcome Noah!

Birchwood Kindy came to see us.

Medals and special toys to show. We are learning to ask questions of each other using the words "Who?" "What?" "When?" "Why?" and "How?", giving a full sentence answer.

Wow Tahlia has filled her first sticker chart already!

We are showing five.. how many ways can you think of?

Painting ourselves and describing who we are, what we like to eat and what we like doing at home - do come and enjoy our posters and rad all about us, they are hanging up in Nagio classroom, looking great!

Our poem this week is "Sleep" - do you know it? The children should be able to recite it to you.

We all had a little snooze (well, not really!)

(But you must admit we are good actors...)

(Totally cute!)

Whiteboard writing, making up rhyming words using 'at' is fun and we can write them too!
