Alphabet Fun

 

We watched a short clip from Alpha Blocks today where the letters were trying to get themselves into the correct order. 

We decided we could do the same thing. This took lots of concentration, patience and turn taking. 

Fantastic Friday!

 

We had a wonderful assembly with lots of people being awarded their first and second wristbands.  That is fantastic - well done to all the recipients.  We will keep working on achieving more 'thank you' tickets.

We are learning about the Zones of Regulation, and our feeling today was around the green zone.  We know how we feel in the green zone - ready to learn, good,  happy, thumbs up, life is good in the green zone.

A visit from the Library Van

We were very lucky to have a visit from Anne and her Library Van today.

She read us a really fun story, then we headed out to the van to choose some library books to take home. We also got to enjoy sitting outside and browsing through some cool books.

We can read these books with our whānau over the holidays.

 

Oh My Gosh! Thanks Duffy Books!!

 We got some Duffy Books,  and they say our name in the front cover. They can help us read. 

They came in a box. It was exciting because it came wrapped up in wrapping paper. 

We have to look after them and read them gently, otherwise they might break.

Turn the pages nicely. We can keep these books at home, they belong to us now.

Our buddy class from Whakarua came to visit us and share they shared their Duffy books with us. It was fun listening to them read to us. 

We are so proud of new learning!

 

        Siatua is learning to start her numbers in the correct place.  She was so happy when she made these beautifully shaped numbers.

Great learning Siatua.

Buddy Time with Mrs McIntyre's class

 We did gardening and pulled some weeds out. (Neomai)

We were careful not to pull out the plants. (Enzo)

We were careful not to step on the plant. (Lexie)

Trees are actually alive and we have to be careful with them. (Adam H)

We have to put our hands at the bottom of the weeds when we pull them. (Neomai)

Then we played with chalk. (Zoe)

Learning our sight words.

We have got a new game to learn our sight words.

We are also learning to take turns.

We are saying each word as we place it in the correct shape.
