Swimming

We love going swimming.  It has been so hot this week.  Well done Room 1 you are all great swimmers.  What awesome little fish!

Symmetry and Patterns

We have been learning about patterns and symmetry.  We used the pegboards, beads, shapes and painted symmetrical butterflies.

Earthquake!

It was sad to hear about the big earthquake in Kaikoura and see all the damage.  We were all a bit shaken.  It was a good time to have an earthquake drill practice.

Welcome to New Room 1 Children

Welcome to Ethan, Connor J, Zavier P and Lennox.  We hope you are enjoying being in Room1.
We are lucky to have such super boys in our class!

Save the Kiwi Bake Day

We loved being able to spend our money on delicious cakes and help save Kiwi! Thank you Rimu Hub!

FIrewise

The firefighters came to school to check that we are "FIrewise".

- Matches and lighters are tools not toys. We give them to an adult

- We should have smoke alarms in our house

- Make a special meeting place in case of an emergency or fire - the letterbox is a good meeting place

- Get down , get low , get out FAST!

- Dial 111 if there is an emergency

Buddy Hub Time

On Friday we met with our Buddies from Rimu Hub. We shared some stories and poems with them and they read a story to us too.  We invited our buddies to eat their lunch with us. It is nice to have some new big buddies in the playground.

Corduroy the Bear

This is one of Mrs Rose's favourite Bear stories.  She has her own Corduroy the Bear.  Adelaide looked after Corduroy for the day today.

Bear Day

Today we brought our teddy bears or favourite soft toy to school.
We read some bear stories and we wrote our own stories too.  We took photos of our friends with their teddies.  We will share these with you soon.

Ethan, Lottie and Indeekah came to visit us at school yesterday. We look forward to them joining Room 1 in the next couple of weeks. 

Phonics Phones

Today we tried out our Phonics Phones. They made our voices echo and sound loud. We use them when we are reading to ourselves. Phoebe thought she could hear the sea!
