Last Day of Term 2

Today we could come to school dressed as a book character in exchange for a coin donation as it is International Literacy week. We are raising money to buy books for a school in Nepal. It was also Calvin's last day as his family are moving back to South Carolina. His mum Sherry brought some cupcakes to share and everyone got treats his grandparents brought from America. Thank you Calvin, we loved having you in Room 1 and we will miss you!

Well done for a great Term 2 everyone!

Welcome Harry!

We welcomed Harry to Room 1 today. Harry has made lots of new friends already! He enjoyed reading stories and playing soccer with his class mates best of all!

Maori Language Week.

This week has been Maori Language Week. Room 1 have been enjoying practicing counting, greeting each other and singing our favourite action songs!

100 days of School!

100 decorated biscuits!

Our row of 100 biscuits

Room 1 have been at school for 100 days this year!
We are 100 days smarter!
We celebrated by having a maths day focusing on number 100!
We made lots of collections of 100 objects and estimated then checked how far a row of 100 biscuits would stretch across the classroom. We iced and decorated the biscuits and shared them with our Room 11 buddy class. We can all count to 100!

Physical Education focus: Folk Dancing

Every Monday afternoon all the year 1 & 2 classes meet for folk dancing in the hall. It is a great chance to work cooperatively together across the syndicate. Room 1's favourites are Carnavalito, Jibidee and the Birdie Dance!
