Week 8

Oh my!!!! Where oh where has the term gone?

I have been so very proud of the Room1 children this week. They were all so amazingly responsible and resilient during our first ever school swim. We had no tears and every one was prepared to give it a go at their skill level. What a shame that the rain came and it meant we only had 1swim this week. Fingers crossed for next week?

Room 1 had a picnic lunch on a rainy day.

The children then blew me away with their wonderful manners, and approach to out junior market day. During J.E.T each Friday we practise the key competencies, these are skills to assist us in life. At market time these key competencies of managing ourselves and within that, taking turns came to the fore. Children thought about what they wanted to buy, then they waited patiently for the product to be available, independently they formed cues, without any teacher intervention. Wow!!!

Marley counted his money carefully before buying.

All children managed their money well, and on reflection time in the class we talked about value for money, were we happy with our purchases?

This week we will be our last week of formal reading before the holidays. A stock take of all books will take place -

'Wow, look what I bought!'

Our sound of the week will be Jj
Our words of the week will be 'she' and 'he'
Our maths focus is shape names and attributes.

Have a great week 

Week 6

It is so hard to believe that we are going into week 6. Last week we looked at the letter /sound Cc. We had lots of fun making cats from the letter C cut out of paper plates.

 

 

Jet time was lots of fun as always. Our focus was to manage ourselves, and ask if we wanted to take a turn.

 Fishing for objects in the water tray.

 

Spinning in the Dizzy Lizzy is lots of fun.

This week our sound of the week will be 'Rr'
Our word will be either look or said
Our maths focus is 'what number comes next?'

Have a great learning week.

Week 5

It has been a busy few weeks. I have begun testing the older children in preparation for accumulating information on their learning levels.
All the children have enjoyed making our pet rocks in preparation for selling at our junior school market day. The children have been earning Bled Dollars ready to use to buy products from the other classes. The children have all exchanged some of their one dollar bleds for two dollar bless.

The boys enjoy working together on the I-pad to help their learning.

Flying our letter Hh helicopters was lots of fun.

 

Chopsticks music helps us develop rhythm and beat.



This week our sound of the week will be 'C'
Our words of the week will be 'come' and 'and'. Different groups will have different words.
Our maths focus is number order, which number comes next?



Have a great learning week.
