Week 8 and 9 Term 3

We have been very busy in Room 1!

In week 8 we ran the New Entrant and Junior assembly.

We shared our Spring stories with everyone. They are hanging in the classroom if you would like to come and see them. They are very colourful, just like Spring!

 

The presenters had to speak in a loud and clear voice so everyone in the audience could hear them.

We did a great job!

 

 

This term we have been working hard on learning a poem for the New Entrant and Junior poetry competition.

We had to use a nice clear voice, to speak loudly, make eye contact with the audience and some of us made up actions and had props.

Miss McCoy is very proud of us!!

Here is some of us presenting to our class.

 

The finalists from Room 1 were Emma and Zara.

 

All of the Juniors and New Entrants did a fantastic job!

 

 

Mrs Kearn's and Mrs Sime's were the judges. It was great to have them involved! We loved getting to see Mrs Kearns again.

 

We gave them some beautiful Spring daffodils to say thank you.

 

 

 

The Room 1 finalists did very well! Emma came third and Zara came second in the New Entrants. We are very proud of them!

 

 

The Term our House Colour Day was around keeping New Zealand beautiful. We went around the school and Sheldon park to pick up rubbish.

 

 

We really enjoy the House Colour Days. Saying our chants out loud and being with the older children is a lot of fun!

 

 



Week 7 1.9.14

It's Spring!

This week we have written Spring stories and decorated some lovely flowers.

We all love to read! Below are a few pictures of the reading activities we have been doing in class. We play reading games, read with our teacher, read big books and spell words using magnetic letters.

 

 

 

Look at our beetle art. We read a poem about Beetles in the garden. These are the colourful beetles we created.

 

 

Maths Week, Week 6

Week 6 was maths week. We had a lot of fun!!!!!

Each day we had a different teacher come in and play a maths game with us. It was really cool!

We had a dress up day and were able to dress up as maths things. There were packs of cards and dominoes, numbers, fractions and Uno cards to name a few. It was exciting doing a parade and showing the school our outfits.

 

We got to go on a maths trail to find numbers and count things around the school and do Cantamaths which we had never done before. We learnt about fractions and on fun-day Friday we got to eat pizza which was cut into fractions. First the pizza was halved, then quartered and then put into eighths.

It was delicious!

We loved maths week!!
