Maths Learning

We are learning to :

• sort objects into categories for display
• make a display of data
• make statements about the data

We read Greedy cat and talked about cats

• What does Greedy cat look like?
• What does your cat look like?
• If you don't have a cat what would you like it to look like?

This is our finished work!!!

We grouped into:
Colours
Tails- shape
Good ones??
We worked as a team with a friend and completed some amazing maths!!
Mrs Flannery was super proud!!

Week 4- Swimming

Hi

This week we have swimming on Tuesday and Wednesday and the SWIMMING SPORTS on Thursday.  Please ensure swimming gear is brought to school on these days.  Your child will need to be dropped to the pool on Thursday morning - wearing house colours if available.
The children sit in house groups on the side of the big pool.
The junior sports run from 10am (I will confirm this tomorrow) until about 10.30am.
Children return to school at 12pm on a bus.



Homework books are well underway and thank you for all your hard work on the word lists!!!
I did pop in another chart of the 4 things to do for the week.
Reading will come home all this week and feel free to grab more books from the children's book boxes.




Whole school assembly on Friday at 2.15pm in the hall, all welcome.

Thanks to the children and parents who joined us for the school mass.

Have a great week and please come and ask if you have any questions.

Maths in Room 2

Hi

We have been playing Maths games this week in Room 2.
It would be helpful to play some games at home too.
This teaches counting on from a given number, taking turns and working with others.
These games will be in the maths group baskets to play while other groups are working with me.
Here are some photos of learning in action!!!
Have a great weekend

What we have been up too!!!

This week we are learning about the letter Tt
We made a T!!
Capital and lower case!!
It was hard work working together and trying to sort this, in the end Mrs Flannery had to sort us.
We will get better and do it ourselves soon.

Week 3

This is our first full week!! Exciting

Thanks to everyone for coming to meet the teacher!! I understand there was a lot of information to take in, please feel free to ask if you are not sure about anything!

Homework books will come home on Monday, hope everyone had poem books home on Friday.

Ash Wednesday is this Wednesday we will be going to Church at 9am, everyone welcome! This marks the start of lent and the lead up to Easter.

Swimming on Thursday 15th February from 11.00 -12.00.  We will be travelling to and from the pool by bus.  If you are free to help dress children you are most welcome to join us at the pool.  It would also be great if we could have a parent that is willing to get in the pool to teach a group of children. (We will have activities on a card for you.)  Please let us know if you would keen to help.

School Mass this Sunday at 9am- children wear their uniform and sit with the class. Children who have not yet received a Bible and a welcome to your family will be asked to come forward at the end of Mass. I will talk to you about this!

This week I will be using this blog to post pictures of the children working and some of their work.


Have a great week

Week 2 Term 1

Hi everyone,

Hope the first few days of school went well and your child is feeling positive and happy.

Please remember to check the blog at the beginning of each week to find out what's happening. It is usually posted on Sunday evening.

An important date this week is our Meet the Teacher evening from 5.30 - 7pm this Thursday 8 February.   Please bring tea and come along to meet with other families,  eat outside in our beautiful
environment and then listen to the expectations, goals, homework and activities for Room 2 this year.
(The BBQ will be available if you wish to BBQ any food.)

Swimming starts next week for Rooms 2 and 7 on Thursday 15th February from 11.00 -12.00.  We will be travelling to and from the pool by bus.  If you are free to help dress children you are most welcome to join us at the pool.  It would also be great if we could have a parent that is willing to get in the pool to teach a group of children. (We will have activities on a card for you.)  Please let us know if you would keen to help.

Thank you to everyone for purchasing the stationery box before school started.  We also require parents to pay $8 to Chrissy at the office to cover felts, coloured pencils and tissues which were not part of the stationery order. We realise that this is an expensive time of the year so just whenever it is possible.

Please start sending along boxes, cardboard rolls, plastic bottles and containers for our construction box. Also if every child could please bring a old shirt or teeshirt to be used as a paint shirt.

Have a great week and enjoy Waitangi Day on Tuesday.
