Room 1 Blog, 2020

Last FULL week of school in 2019!

3/12/2019

Wow! I can not believe that the school year is nearly over. We have had such a great year in Room 1 and I am sad to see some of the children move into Room 2 next year, and excited to continue learning with many of the children next year. The bottom of reports (which come home on Thursday) will say which class your child is in next year.
Below are a selection of photos of things we have gotten up to at the start of this busy but super week!

Clocks and Time

This week in maths the Butterflies groups is talking about clocks and time. On Monday we got some chalk and Numicon shapes out to help us make our own clocks and tell "o'clock" times.

Christmas Concert - Monday Afternoon at St. Stephens

Room's 1 and 2 went on a bus to St. Stephens to listen to a Christmas performance by the Mid-Canterbury Choir, there were even songs we could sing along to!

Harold's Classroom (Life Education)

This morning we got to go in Harold's Classroom! Today was the first day some of the children met Harold and will go back again tomorrow. The children loved that the lights changed colours, the stars on the roof, and blowing Harold kisses goodbye! We have been learning about the things our bodies need and how we help our body grow.

Lochie's Piano Performance

This year Lochie and Priscilla have been learning piano with Mrs Hawks. Today she came into Room 1 with a keyboard and Lochie chose two Christmas Songs to play for us.

A Dinosaur Hid our Hats!!! (Shared Reading)

For shared reading today we read the story, 'The Lost Hat'. After reading the story together we realised our hat box was missing!! There was a dinosaur and BIG envelope in our classroom with messages in it for us. The children created a map of the places they thought we should search (the classroom, lost property, playground, sandpit and field) and we went off on a search! Once we FINALLY found our hats there was another envelope for us to open - it had cards with letter of the alphabet made in sand. We all practiced making these letters and sounds in the sand.

World Nursery Rhyme Week!

21/11/2019

This week is World Nursery Rhyme week! For those children who are in Room 1 for reading we will be doing shared reading around a Nursery Rhyme each day. At the beginning of the week the children received a book with all of the week’s poems in it. Please ensure this comes back to school each day and then the children can keep it at the end of the week.
Below are the audio (song versions) of the rhymes and some pictures we did as a class. I aim to add to this post as the week goes on.

Monday: Baa baa black sheep

Picture
Monday we spent lots of time talking around rhymes and worked out words we knew that rhymed with other words. Then we read through the rhyme for the day looking for words that rhymed and unpacking the meaning of some of the unfamiliar words.

Tuesday: Down in the Jungle

Picture
Tuesday we learnt the song and actions to go with our rhyme, helped Beebot make his way sequencing the animals in order and made a class book to add to our bookshelf with colourful pictures and the whole rhyme.
We also used our jungle themed nursery rhyme to inspire out writing. The children each choose one of the animals and wrote a sentence or story about something they do/did in the jungle. Come in and have a look on our writing wall! The children are also bringing home puppets/paper toys they have started to make of their choosen animal.

Wednesday: Incy Wincy Spider

Thursday: Row Row Row Your Boat

Friday: Two Little Dickie Birds

Some of you may have also seen (or heard about) the new addition to our classroom. Over the next 28 days we will be hatching eggs! So far we have learnt about the many different animals that lay eggs and talked about the different eggs we have in our room. I look forward to the continued conversations and interest in another 'change' learning opportunity.

Animal Colours

Today for art we read a story called animal colours, which is a silly story about mixing two different colours together to make a made up animals. So today we decided we would give it a go making up our own creative animals with new names!
