Some of Te Ope Ruaraki had Mrs Huriwai pay a visit and read the big book to them.

It was a great surprise.

Some of us were reading along in the parts we could.

Handwriting in the Sun

Yesterday Miss Clothier's handwriting class headed outside to enjoy the warm sun while practising their handwriting using chalk on the concrete.

"I liked handwriting outside."

"I wrote a tall stick."

"I love doing handwriting"

"I like it so much."

"My handwriting is beautiful."

"I've got the chalk." - Cedrick

"I'm drawing lines." - William

"I like doing it."

"I did it with chalk."

"I'm doing my best to do handwriting."

Our first week back at school!!

 We have played shops. Aleigha is being a shop keeper and other children are lining up to buy food.
We have played alphabet games with buddies.

We have been learning about shapes in Maths

 We have used fancy scissors to practise our scissor skills.

Aleigha and her mum have made a story

Aleigha and her lovely mum Aimee have been busy creating a very cool story about a Little Penguin coming back to school.

I think Little Penguin is going to have a fabulous time at his school. He will be safe and have fun with his friends.

Well done Little Penguin. 

You look like you are very good at washing your hands and so sensible eating healthy food.



I am excited we are going to see each other on Monday at school just like Little Penguin who will see all his friends.

Paige's science experiments

I had a good idea of doing a rainbow and I love how it turned out.
From Paige

I am so impressed with how you have copied Miss Norris's instructions and made a picture of a rainbow.  I think it turned out exactly right and made a beautiful rainbow. 

The Poem Star

Hugo has been the most focused poem man. 

I love opening emails from your dad Hugo. 

You make my day with all the learning you do in your house.

Check out this poem. Can you see the rhyming words Hugo has written?

I love that you listen to the video and continue on with your learning.

And there is more mail!!!

Aleigha got her mail too. She was very excited when this arrived.

That happy smile says so much Aleigha. You are definitely a fantastic scientist, and I think seeing your photos has encouraged other children to become scientists too.
