Daily 5

We have been learning how to do Daily 5 in our classroom. Once we practised by ourselves for two weeks we got to open the doors to room 8 and 10 too. 

We can now choose where we want to sit and read for at least 12minutes without stopping.

We are so good at 'Read to Self' that we have begun 'Read to Someone'. Now we can share our love of reading with our friends.

Goodbye and good luck our friend.

Today we said goodbye to one of our classmates. We were sad to see her leave but happy that she has had a wonderful impact on all our lives. Good luck at your new school in your new town. We will miss you. Thank you for your friendship, kindness, inclusiveness, wonderful smile and lovely art work!

Turangawaewae - Our place to stand

We learnt all about what our Gateway means. There are interesting stories about the different parts of this Gateway - ask us and see what we can remember.

Story telling at 8.45am

Wet lunchtime fun

Sometimes when it is wet we are sad that we can't play outside but other times we are happy as it means we get to play inside games and make new friends. 

Cybersmart

We have started learning how to be cyber smart. Ask anyone in Room 9 what they already know. Once we are experts at this we will be able to use the Chromebooks for almost all areas of learning. 

Guess Who?

We had fun completing some secretive writing. We had to write five facts about ourselves without anyone seeing what we had written. Once this was complete we sketched ourselves.  Mrs D put it together on the wall. The aim of the game is to see if you can guess each person in our class from their facts. You can then check to see if you were right or not by lifting up the facts to reveal the sketch!

Swimming

It has been great hopping into the heated swimming pool! Even better that we get to sneak in some practise before we head off to Boys High in week 4 for our 'real' swimming lessons that are given to our school free of cost through 'Find you field of Dreams'.

Please remember your togs everyday for this important learning.

Welcome to Room 9

Today was our first day of school.  We enjoyed meeting our new teacher Mrs D. We are the best class in the whole world :)
