Welcome to Giovanna and Janke who both had their first day at ACS today!

We've had a great day back in Room 1 today! It was lovely to see all the childrena and hear about what they got up to over the holidays. Below are some photos from our day:

Welcome back for the final term of the year! We have had an exciting first few days back. It has been exciting to hear about what you were up to over the last few weeks as well as settle back into learning at school.

Firstly I want to Welcome to ​Room 1 Olivia! We hope you have enjoyed your first few full days at school!!

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.

Good work Limba! ​For working hard to learn his letter sounds and sight words!

Welcome to ACS Archie!! We hope you had a great first day on your birthday!

Using 1c coins to purchase items  from a 'shop'. Using Numcion shape patterns to help us.

Happy first day Boetie! We are excited to have you join us in Room 1 and hope you had a great day.

This week in maths we are continuing to look at the numbers 0-20. We played a game rolling dice and walking along a number line to see who could get to the end first. We have also started playing snakes and ladders. 
Today for developemental time we have snakes and ladders as one of the options, as well as threading activities and card games (go fish and snap). Once some children had learnt they games they were teaching others and encouraging them to join in. It was a great afternoon!

What a wild, wet, windy first day back at school today! 
I hope you had a lovely Easter/Anzac Holiday.

It has been wonderful seeing the excitement of the children being back at school after the break. There was definately a buzz in the classroom as the children shared stories about what they have been up to. I look forward to settling back into the class routines and new learning with the children.

​We welcomed Limba for his first full day and Vienna for a few visits this week before beginning next week.

This week's certificates:

Welcome to ACS Keith, Noah and Daniel! Well done Lea for your hard work in maths and passing stage 2/3 of your Mad Maths Minute!

Happy first day Noah and Daniel! We hope you enjoyed being in Room 1 for your first day as 5 year olds!!

After reading books about filling peoples buckets, room 1 has been working hard to fill our class bucket. Children can put warm fuzzies (pom poms) in the bucket when a teacher catches them doing things like being kind, encouraging, doing the right thing, helping or others or setting a good example.

Today we filled the bucket! As a reward the class got to go outside and play a game of their choise straight after lunch. We had lots of fun playing duck, duck, goose in the shade on the grass.
