Counting in 2's

One of our math groups is practising to skip count in 2's.  We used shoes to help us.  On the pieces of paper we wrote the numbers to help us.  Can you skip count in 2's?

Congratulations!!!

Look at these amazing children!  They have been working really hard on learning their sight words.  All the children with certificates have gone up a level, while everyone made gains!

Caterpillar Changes

Yesterday we watched our caterpillar create a chrysalis.  Look at the photos below and you'll see the change too.

Crazy Caterpillar

Look what I spotted before I went home tonight!  Our crazy caterpillar is curling up ready to make a cocoon up on the wood!  I wonder what he'll look like in the morning.

Spelling Practice

Declan

We wrote our spelling words out on the concrete in chalk.  Then we bounced a ball and called out the letters to spell them.  Some of us can now spell the words without looking!

Fun in the Sun!

Welcome back for 2020 with Room 1.  

Here are 3 of the girls enjoying the sunshine at lunch time today.  Great to see their hats on too!

End of the term! And 2019!

What a rush to the end of the year!

Mrs Wallace worked with Room 1 on some Christmas art. They made amazing Christmas Trees to take home.

Then they made some really cool Christmas decorations with beads that were melted together.

Room 1 and 2 went to visit the Kiwi Creche as part of our topic. We then made a Kiwi burrow from 'Cup a soup' boxes. We painted them brown, then glued in some wood shavings. The tricky bit was making a kiwi and its' egg from modelling clay to go in the burrow.

They do look very cool!

The first week of December was time to put up the new class christmas tree. The children were excited to see the decorations and lights.

We then set to work making some decorations of our own along with some cool cards.

Our Christmas trees,

Our  very special reindeer christmas cards,

For these cards we used black paper, glue and sequins.

We even made our own gift bags!

We used wax crayon and dye to do patterns on our bags, then Mrs A folded them into bags.

Then we put on lots of glue and glitter to make them pretty!

Our last activity for our topic was to make a 'bee hotel'.

We cut some bamboo into short pieces. Then made them into a bundle which we pushed into some plasticine, in the bottom of a cup.

Then we pushed some more plasticine around the top of the cup to hold the bamboo.

Next we made a little sign so the bees would know where to go for a rest.

Out into the school orchard we went to find a good place to put our bee hotel.

We have had a fantastic year and we are looking forward to a good rest over the summer.

Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year!
