Mrs Taylor came to join our Circle Time session. She brought Benji along to meet Room 2. Benji loves gentle pats, listening to stories and going for walks. We are so lucky to have a school dog!
Every week someone gets to work with Kevin and do some building. Look what Xavier made!! He's using lots of new skills!
It was a glorious sunny afternoon for the Junior and New Entrant children to show off their aquatic skills. We had many events such as streamlining, kick boards, noodle races and we even had a horse race. We then all turned into star fish!! The grand finale was when we all danced to the coconut song doing some jump jam moves in the pool. A huge thanks to all the families who came to support us. Thanks to NZ Swimming for their support and professional development this swimming season! Well done Room 2 fish, you all grew on confidence and skills.
We love maths on Room 2. We have been using Roda to design pictures. We also love sequencing numbers using our numicon equipment! Maths is awesome!!!
We had the best day ever at Waimairi Beach! We learnt some amazing skills about how to be safe at the beach. NZ Surf Life Saving Guards taught us how to be safe. We know to swim between the flags, always swim with a friend and have an adult around, we have to know our limits and Slip, Slop, Slap, Wrap! It was heaps of fun going on the bus. We went to the surf Lifesaving Club house. We then went down to the beach and made sandcastles and played some beach games. The best part of the day was when we went for a swim. We jumped and swam in the waves. The weather was beautiful. Thanks to all the helpers who came along too!!!
Every day someone gets to take over and be the teacher. The teacher for the day does our morning news board. They carefully choose children who are showing 5 by being respectful listeners who put up their hands...
We've been STORY TELLERS! We have been learning to tell the tales of the Gingerbread Man. Just like the little old lady we made our own gingerbread man. They were delicious and lucky for us not one ran away. We also been making puppet shows to tell the story. Madison even preformed it for us for Show and Tell. We've been writing about it too.
Room 2 love visiting the kindergarten. Once a month Room 2 goes next door to say hi to our friends at kindergarten. We get to see some old friends and play. The home corner is a favourite and so is the sand pit. We also host a group from kindergarten.... it's great to catch up and share our learning!
