Mother's Day

Room G was busy creating Mother's Day cards on Friday.
Examples of the different cards can be seen in the picture folder.
I hope all mothers had a great day and we're pampered a bit.
"Happy Mother's Day!"

Soccer with our Buddy Class

What a beautiful Autumn afternoon to play a game of two ball soccer with Room I. Wow, great too see so many students getting in there and having a go. Students that had some real skills were Jack, Alyssa, Kaden, Alex, Warwick, Jayden N and Ella. Te Ata was brave as goalie.

I'll put some more pictures up in the Picture Folder.

Leaf Prints

Today we were busy creating Leaf Monoprints.
The students had to find interesting autumn leaves and bring them to school.
They then had to follow a process of rolling on paints onto tinfoil , placing leaves down and carefully placing a piece of paper on top and pressing gently across the paper like patting a cat.
The students created two artworks
1. First print
2. Ghost print
I have put the 1 prints up on the wall, come in and have a look.
You can see more photo's in the picture folder.

Wondering Wednesdays

Questions we had this week...

Why do people speak different languages?  Alice
How are people made?  Jayden M
Why does the sky turn grey?  Lilah
Why does fruit taste so nice?  Lily
How come time can go so quickly?  Te Mahia
Where do the water pipes go?  Alyssa
Why are there really bad tornado's in America?  Alex

Get Set Go-Catching

Today Room G were enthusiastic learners and were keen to participate in the Get Set Go programme. We were focusing on catching again. I could see improvement in throwing and catching of a big ball.

 Homework this week is to throw a ball up and see how many claps you can do before you have to catch it, tricky!

If you don't have a big ball roll up your socks and throw those.  

Remember the more you practise the better you will get.

Welcome Back

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday. The students were keen to get back and continue the great learning they did last term.
I note was sent out today with a reminder about the basic facts maths cards and collecting Autumn leaves.
I am hoping to do some leaf prints later in the week.
We are beginning to look at time this term. You could talk to your child about what they do during the day and when they do it. Encourage them to tell the time first looking at o'clock then half past. We will be looking at quarter past and quarter to. I will be putting up a Youtube video to watch and then practise.
