Learning to read

The Monkeys and Penguins groups have been learning early reading skills such as talking about the pictures, pointing to each word as they read, and locating words they know then isolating them using their fingers. They are working really hard and are becoming fabulous readers!

Harvest Festival

At the end of term one we had a harvest festival to celebrate and enjoy all the beautiful food we have been busy growing at school. It was an opportunity to help prepare food to be shared with others. 

We helped to cut our fruit and put it onto skewers. 

We sat on the netball courts and said a karakia.

The teachers handed us some food.

It was delicious!

Learning to play together

Erin from Project Energize came in to teach us some co-operative games. We had to work together to help our team win. It was so much fun!

Learning to write

Today I learnt how to write the letter 'a' and I'm very happy about it!

WE WROTE A BOOK!

The Elephants reading group wrote a book about 'big things'. They drew pictures, coloured them in, the wrote the story. It is now laminated for everyone to read.

QUIET TIME...

Sometimes it's lovely to sneak away with a book and find a quiet spot to read :)

SWIMMING!

Room 4 has been enjoying this fabulous summer weather with swimming each day. We have been learning to gain confidence when in the water.
