After lunch Gianna came to Room 1 to teach us Sign Language to a Māori song we have learnt to help us learn colours, the weather and numbers. After she left, to help us remember, we decided to make a video to help us remember!

We are also learning a song called If God is... (sung to the tune of If you're happy and you know it) If God is the King make a crown If God is the King make a crown If God is the King and you want us all to know it If God is the King make a crown -This week we added the verse: If God cares for you give a hug! |
Letter and sounds of the Week:
This week we started our class 'letter of the week'. This letter will be referred to throughout the week during writing, reading, poetry, news and wherever else it fits into our day! For news this week we had people sharing about areoplanes, apes, animals and April! We also came up with an AMAZING collection of words beginning with the letter a in our alphabet book. |
Phonics Sounds of the week:
This week room 1 has had lots of fun with developmental, patterns, and watching our beans begin to grow. Here are a selection of photos from through the week.

On Friday we used washout photos to help us create self portraits using crayons. Our goal was to select the best colours to match our photo. Can you work out who is who?
We talked about the best order to do our pictures in, picking colours that were the closest to our hair and skin colours and carefully looking at the details on the picture we needed to colour. Room 1 did really well!!
This year at ACS our concept is Discovery.
hroughout the year we will have a variety of topics we will learn and discover about. To start off the year we are learning about growing our own beans. We read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk as an introduction to the topic. We talked about how God created plants and seeds and how we are called to look after the things in nature. Over the next few weeks we will get to watch our beans begin to sprout and grow. As we observe we will talk about the things living things need, how we can look after these plants and others, and will then plant one of these beans in the classroom and the others will come home for you to plant at home.
