First day back...

Today we went on an Autumn walk!  We found interesting leaves and twigs. We even found a late chrysalis, which we took back to class to observe closely. We are making individual Nature Journals.
We tried to write outside as well, but it was a bit too chilly! Here we are...

Term 2

Welcome back to Room 1.
We welcome Sean Green and Jackie Sneddon to our class.

This term we will be learning about our roles, rules and resposibilities as part of a group. We will be learning how we can make a difference by reducing, reusing and recycling. We will learn about animals that live in our oceans and what is threatening their lives.

We are (re)learning letters and their sounds, double vowel sounds and blends.

Children will be able to track their progress in reading and writing on the Reading and Writing Rocket in class!

Reading nights will still be counted with quite a few children close to either 25 or 50 nights of reading!

Please remember: Tuesdays is Library Day.

50 nights of reading...

Here is our Champion reader with 50 nights of reading! Well done Fred!

25 nights of reading...

The new reading awards are up. Sarah Monteith did a good job of utilising our small entrance area between Room 1 and 2. You will be able to view the awards there.
Some children are very nearly up to 50 nights reading. Good job!
Keep up the reading at night. Just remember Reading Eggs counts as  "a reading night" as well!

Here we are...

Some of our learning this week...

Visiting our local Play Centre...

On Thursday we visited our local Te Waotu - Puketurua Play Centre. We hope these visits help with transition to school. Room 1 children enjoyed the visit very much.  A big thank you to Rebecca for providing them with a huge block of ice to play around with. We are learning about WATER at the moment.
Ice wasn't the only thing that was enjoyed... The children had great fun with all the toys, puzzles and equipment available. Thank you for having us and see you next term!
