Mid-term update

Room 1 students have been working hard on their handwriting in the first half of the term with great results!

Great letter formation Layton!

An example of the beautiful handwriting that our children are producing, well done!

In week 5, the children have been trying out playing to the beat of different music genre. 

Our favourites are, Octopus's garden and Albatross.

                                             

  Room one has been very creative with Mrs Wallace on Fridays. They are enjoying building things out of boxes and bottles, and expressing themselves with paint.

Room 1's plants are growing well! Mr Davey will have some awesome flowers for the school garden in no time. 

                          


We are looking forward to planting them out in a few more weeks.


                          

    We have used the new plants as our focus for art this week. There is now lots of beautiful flowers hanging up in the classroom.


                          


                          


                          

Welcome to term 3

We have had an awesome start to the term. Last week we listened to and played along with the beat of some cool music.

We also planted some flower seeds for our science topic "Growing a plant from seed". Some of these flowers are for Mr Davey's Interest based group garden.

This week the children have been hard at work in their learning......

Felicity wrote her story all by herself.......fantastic!

Layton is showing off his wonderful letter work, great work Layton!

Firewise Fire Station Visit

We had been learning about being 'Firewise'. We have completed and are continuing to complete a series of activities in the classroom to help us know what to do if there was a fire in our house or even our classroom. We learnt that you must...

• Get down, get low, get out! FAST!! 

• Have working smoke alarms in your house

• Never play with matches or lighters and if you find any of these give them to an adult to put them somewhere safe

• Have a safe meeting place once you get out of your house

Last week we even went to the Ikamatua Fire Station to learn about what firefighters do to help us if there is a fire. We got to look at all of the equipment they need and use. Our most exciting part was getting to sit in the fire engine and when Mrs Whitmore put on the fire siren for us. The siren gave some of us a fright too!!

Kite Making

We watched a video on how to make our very own kites. We had to follow each step carefully to make sure we made a good strong kite that we could fly outside in the wind. 

Here are our finished kites and they flew very well...
