A big day out!

Today we visited the Waimakariri Library.

Donna introduced two new stories. We laughed a lot.

We had a look around the Library and we went into the Art Galley area that has opened again after the earthquake. It has an amazing dome made of glass.


After our Library visit we went to Victoria Park for lunch and a play on the playground.
We gathered Autumn leaves ready for sorting during Maths time.
We may even use them for collage.

A huge thank you to the parents who took us and helped today.

We were pleased to see Jorja-Rose and Matthew too.

 They will be starting in our class soon.

Ramp progress.

Take a look at the progress outside our room!

We will be working in the Library for a while longer.

What a lot of concrete!

It was fun to watch the truck.

Black Hat Thinking and PMP

Today we looked at the black hat.

We answered the question... What is wrong with this?

Our perceptual motor programme(PMP) started today. Over the next 5 weeks we will use the hall on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning.
The programme is designed to help with fine and gross motor skills.

What a lot of fun!

We are working well in the Library.

A few photos for you to see how we are going in our temporary classroom.

We are happy to be back at school. 

Tomorrow we will start to learn about de Bono's Thinking Hats.

Please keep an eye on our blog so that you know which hat we are discussing.

We are back in school on Monday. We will be working in the Library!

After a good break we are ready to start the new term.
Outside room 6 the builders are very busy constructing a deck and ramp.
We are not able to be in our room for a short while. So... we will be in the Library.
I'm sure we will enjoy the change.

Welcome to Riley G. who is joining us in Room 6.

Please keep checking our posts and we love comments from you all.

Fantastic Friday

 Thank you Amanda for spending time with us this morning at Discovery time.  The helicopters were a real hit! We especially loved flying them off the playground!

Dress-ups are one of our favourite choices.  

Beware of the dinosaur!

We enjoyed reading the story  "The King's Pudding"  and had great fun baking a chocolate cake. We had to follow a recipe carefully. We all helped to measure and mix the ingredients. 

Our cake was round.

  It was brown. 

 It smelled delicious.

It wasn't too hot, too cold or too sour!

It was just right!

And it tasted wonderful!

Welcome to Lachlan...

A warm welcome to Lachlan who starts in Room 6 on Monday.

We look forward to happy school days ahead.
