Christmas week in Room One

Riley came on his first school visit this week!

Well here we are at the end of the year, having celebrated our learning with "Forever Now" the junior and middle syndicate performance. I am putting this Blog together having said good-bye to twenty one of my twenty four pupils and I hope this photo journal of our week is fun to read...

Keana and Mum reading in our purple corner before school.

Max 'Santa' Mallory bought a wonderful surprise on Friday morning - thanks Sally for a stunning cake I can't wait to share it with my family!

Making Christmas angels.

Indie-Rose, Sophia's baby sister (three days old) came on her first school visit on Friday.

Making Christmas Tree decorations!

Santa came in a fire engine to see us on Wednesday!

Our Christmas trees are 3D and very glittery...

Thanks, New World Stoke for our treats - the whole school (and Kindy) had ice blocks!!

Off to Room seven for a treat - photos later...

Playing together after our ice blocks for a few minutes (otherwise hats would be on!).

This was our treat - Room 7 , our buddy class, laid on a party for us!

We are great at climbing.

Our buddies made a crown for every child!

What a wonderful party surprise - food, music and friends in Room seven.

My class photos. Lovely children, all of them.

 Showtime!
Our part of the show was the 'Pohutukawa tree' song. Many many thanks to Daniellas Mum, Kiri who single handedly made all 24 headbands for us at home. I would truly be lost without her aid.Here we are having a sing on the mat before we headed out to the hall.

Amazing artwork, thank you Kiri!

This is us, dancing our circle dance together. Well done children!
