Play time!

Today we visited our Play Centre next door. Thank you Rebecca Sneddon for making us feel so welcome and showing us some faces of Papatuanuku, our Mother Earth.
Visits like these are invaluable for transitioning to school. Here is an impression of our visit.

 

 

Self assessment in writing

We are getting very good at articulating our learning and we are only 5!!!

Transitioning from an Early Childhood Centre to Room 1...

Here is Jackie, confidently sharing her Learning Journey up til now with her peers. Children were very interested and asking questions. Jackie very obviously enjoyed showing off her previous learning!

Papatuanuku

We have been listening to the story of Papatuanuku and Ranginui. We discussed the beauty of  Papatuanuku: Mother Earth.

Our Games Day at St Marys

What brilliant day! All children enjoyed taking part in a variety of games.
Here are some pictures!

This blog...

It is great to see the progress and personal growth of students. I like to share this often with parents, whanau and the wider school community.
It would be great if you, our readers, would contribute more actively so children can see and read your comments in class and perhaps write back to you.
At the bottom of new (and old) messages you will see a tab: No comments. Please click on that and leave us a small message. We would greatly appreciate that and it would give children in Room 1 a reason to write back. It would also enable them to connect with a real audience for their writing. So please leave your comments and thoughts on our blog. Thank you from Room 1!

Here is Jayden as our Superstar!

 

...and here we are off to another learning adventure!

Writing time...

This is what we are learning at the moment!
