Pink Day!

Autumn Art

Last Friday we drew a tree and then used a toothbrush to make the red, brown, orange, yellow and green leaves.

Speaking and Listening

Last term we undertook a mini inquiry on getting to know one another. This term with the chance to do another mini inquiry we felt the children would benefit from activities that promote speaking and listening.

To get us started today we had to sit and listen to each other share our weekend news. We were then able to ask questions of each other news like: What playground did you go to? Who did you play with?

For many of us we are still learning the difference between a comment and a question.

Mrs Clarke and Mrs Lindley have some exciting activities to do to help promote using our clear speaking voices and practice our listening skills.

Certificates

Well done to Jess, Amanda and Peyton who have all made great improvements on their letter sound/name knowledge and Tanish for his fantastic handwriting. Ka pai tō mahi!

Geometry shapes

For the next few weeks we will be learning about shapes and describing their attributes. Emma and Lily did a super job using a hexagon shape to create their caterpillars.

Autumn Leaves

Today Room 6 talked about the changes they are seeing and experiencing in the environment now that Autumn is here. As a motivation for art we had great fun scrambling around in the leaves. Before heading back to class we ran around the court twice trying to build our fitness level in preparation for cross country.
