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.
