Athletics Day


Red Hat thinking - our feelings


Yay! We had such a great time today
running, jumping and throwing
at our Athletics Day.


Here are some of our reflections...



Yellow Hat thinking - all the good things!

Black Hat thinking - the
'not-so-good' things


We are all such great athletes!
The teachers thought we were wonderful because we made excellent Mahi Pai choices!

Helping Others

 We have been talking a lot about all the people who
help us and what are some things that we can do to
help others.


Miss Burgess found a food bank bag
and we decided that it would be a good idea to use it.
We talked about what 'donating' means and read through the list
of items that would be helpful to donate.
We have collected all this food!
We think it feels really good to GIVE.
We feel proud of ourselves for helping others.

Spring Writing

This week we have finished our Spring writing.

We had to use our senses to write about this season.
Now they are on display and they look bright and colourful with our dancing daffodils we made.

Taking Turns Explore Galore

We had more space fun in Room 10 today!
We made space boots and pretended we were walking on the moon with no gravity.

 We also made paper plate suns, playdough aliens and decorated moon rocks.
We were learning to TAKE TURNS so we had to remember to be patient, co operate and use our manners.

Handwriting

This week we have been learning to make great 'j' shapes.

We know they have a straight back with a neat hook shape at the end.

We are getting really good at making sure they face the right way and don't go backwards!


We can use finger spacing and sit our letters on the lines.


We know our important S's
