Sam and the waves

Imogen has been working hard to complete her reading EE projects. She enjoyed reading about Sam and the waves. Imogen goes for swimming lessons and loves making waves in the pool just like Sam.

Imogen said " I go for swimming lessons and enjoy swimming."

Kiwi sport

The children in Rm 18 have been learning lots of skills at Kiwi sport this term. They have been thinking about what they can do at gymnastics and writing about it in their books.

Sparkles

Yesterday we had our first netball game for the Year One girls. They played against Sylvia park. The girls played really well and had a good game. We are so proud of all of them. Maddison got player of the day. She kept her feet glued to the ground when passing and with the help of her team mates she managed to score a goal.

Maddison was very happy.
Well done you!

Reading is fun

Catherine really enjoyed the book "Snowy gets a wash." She worked hard to complete her iPad activity and finished her work off properly. Well done you, Catherine!
Catherine said:

"Snowy can go down the slide really fast."

Happy Mother's Day.

The children shared some lovely stories about what they did for their mums on Mother's Day. Lots of the children made cards. Maddison gave her mum a charm bracelet and some perfume. Imogen got her mum some balloons and other children gave their mums chocolates and flowers. To all the mums out there"Wishing you a Happy Mother's Day!"

I love you mummy. (Dictated to the teacher.)

The children in Room 18 have been learning all about bees: What they eat ,where they live and how they travel from place to place? I have been asking children to tell me what they think about "What is happening to our bees?" We hope you enjoy our movie and please leave us a comment.

Reading

Harmony has been learning to complete her reading task on her Explain Everything project. She liked reading about Little Chimp and Big Chimp. She said, "Little Chimp is naughty!"

Writing

Jordyn has been putting lots of effort into her writing. She knows some words and is starting to write some sounds in unknown words.

I am so proud of you, Jordyn.
Well done, you!

Duffy Theatre

We were very lucky to have the Duffy Theatre come and perform for us at our school. The show was awesome with a lovely story, good actors and lovely costumes.

Duffy's sister Susan, played games all the time and did not like reading.

Duffy got swallowed into the game and turned into bricks.

Duffy was in the game and had to go through all the levels so
he could get out and go back home..

The dismantler always broke down his bricks and
Duffy had to start all over again.

Susan had to read a book to help Duffy get out.

The children helped Duffy with the bricks.
Each brick had a letter on it and it was a clue to help Duffy.

Susan got swallowed into the game too
and she was chose to be a pirate.

Together they tried to find clues in the book to help them.

The clues were in the book and this helped  Duffy and Susan
find their way out of the game.

Learning to blog

On Friday, Mrs. Carruther's came to our classroom to teach some children how to post on their individual blogs. The children worked really hard and did a good job. They

posted on their blogs and were really excited.
Thank-you. Mrs. Carruther's. 

What's for lunch?

Levi  loves eating tomatoes. He brings to school all the time. Not many children like tomatoes but Levi likes sucking out the juice first and then eats the rest of his tomatoe.

Yummy!

Happy Birthday, Mia

Yesterday we celebrated Mia's 6th Birthday. Her mum brought a cake for the class. Mia was really excited and so were we. Mia's sisters  joined in on the celebrations. Thank-you to Mia's mum and family for letting us be part of this very special day. Best wishes Mia and we hope you bring love and laughter wherever you go. Happy Birthday, sweetheart. With lots of love-From Mrs Lal and the children from Room 18.

What a lovely cake, Mia!

We sang for Mia and then she blew all the candles out.
It was a bit tricky, but she kept blowing until they were out.

Mia was ver excited and couldn't wait to eat her cake.

Yummy!

I like your latitude

This term the children in Team One are learning all about bees. In the movie below the teachers need the children's help to save the bees. We will be looking at safe ways for the bees to find pollen and then take back to the hive. This will involve lots of directions(left, right, forward, backward, up down, behind above, and so on). We will be creating our own maps and others will be following our instructions/directions using the map to help take the bee to where they need to go.It is going to be a very exciting term.Lots of learning, creating and sharing.
