We have been waiting for ages for this day. So much fun! We started off clean and dry and ended up wet and colourful. Not only did we get sprinkled with colour but we ran through snow as well! Imagine snow in Auckland! We also had a great game of Red Light, Green Light at the end of the race. We’re sure the teachers had more fun than us squirting us with water guns if we moved. Topped off with iceblocks at the end and balloons to take home…what a wonderful way to end a week and start the weekend.

We are practising our movement and listening skills in the above photos. This morning we worked together to create a beat and follow patterns.

One of our favourite games in class at the moment is playing “River and Bank”. We are developing our listening skills for learning.

We had a very exciting trip last week to the gym. The children really enjoyed trying out all their skills and the gym equipment.

We had lots of fun and some very tired children in the afternoon!

From forward rolls to handstands, from walking on a beam to jumping in a foam pit and much much more.
 
Room 3 enjoyed participating in all the activities at the Tri-Star Gym last week. 

Keeping up the Practice before our trip to the Tri star gym.

Tri Star Gym !!!here we come……

We enjoyed our dress up day!

Book Week was a super fun week!!

Thank you to everyone that supported the Book Parade and the awesome effort you put into the costumes. The parade is such a highlight of the year for many of our students and the staff.  Here are some photos if you missed out on seeing our Parade.

In room 4 we love learning through our structured literacy activities. We are learning  draw and talk about things that are important to us whether it be our families or topics that are important to us in our shared reading books.

We are extending our brains by using our memory skills and we work really well together with our friends to spot similarities and differences.

We have really enjoyed book week and all the activities around our school.

Room 3 celebrates Book Week, which is an annual celebration of reading for pleasure for children.

The children participated in lunchtime activities and enjoyed some Tuakana-Teina time. We had our amazing year 5 / 6 students come read to us.

Room 4 has recently started experimenting with trying to make our own movie based on our puppet shows. The children have been working in small groups to make their own shows. Some of the children have chosen songs or very simple story lines such as going to the park. We are learning to be confident, work collaboratively and utilise our new skills such as how to film each other using the ipad
