Learning to read is one of the most exciting things to learn at school. We read all sorts of different things in Room 2. We read poems, books, we retell our Story telling tales. We like to read with our Year 5/6 buddies, we read to each other and we can curl up with a book on a bean bag. We love our trips to the library each week too.
During Book Week we had our lovely Nanas, Pops, Grans and Nannys come and visit us at school. We read books with our friends and they even read to us. Eilidh's Nana bought bookmarks for all the children in the class. Thanks so much! It's great showing the special people in our lives what we can do at school.
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!!!
