Week 7 in Room 7

 What a busy week!
Here we are visiting Harold and his friends in the Life Education classroom.
 

Our Day - Part 3

After lunch we work on our topic.  We might do some art, music, movement, drama, Te Reo or Physical Education.

This term in our topic we are thinking about how we learn.  Our five senses help us to learn about our environment.  We have been thinking about how we hear sounds.  We had fun making different sounds with the musical instruments!

Next week Harold and Shelley will be here in the Life Education classroom.  We will learn more about how our body works and how to take care of ourselves so that we can be the best learners we can be.

Our Day - Part 2

After play we take out our book boxes and practise our reading.  We call this time 'Nothing But Reading'.  We come together on the mat for shared reading and Mrs Hunt reads us stories.  Then we work in groups on our Reading Rotation activities. We enjoy using the iPads at this time to practise our reading skills!  When Mrs Hunt has worked with all our groups we come back to the mat and share with each other about our learning during Reading Rotation time.
Now it is time to focus on our Maths.  Sometimes we work in our Activity Groups and sometimes we work as a class.  This term we have been looking at shapes.  We can identify many simple shapes and we have been looking for three dimensional shapes in the environment.
Now it is time for lunch.  Learning is hungry work!

Our Day - Part 1

At 8.55 the bell rings.  We head to our class for mat time.  We come together with a song, Mrs Hunt calls the roll, we check the school website for news and we deal with our house keeping.  Then it is time for our speaking and listening focus time.

Now we are on the move!  We head to the Rec. Centre for fitness activities. You can see us in the photo stretching and warming up.

We spend 15 - 20 minutes doing lots of challenging and interesting activities.

After Fitness we head back to class and work on our handwriting activity for the day.  As we have been busy and active we take time for our milk/fruit break before we head back to the mat to prepare for our writing activity.

Greetings!

We are a busy class of six year olds who love to learn.

We come to school every day to have fun and to find out new things about our world and ourselves.

We start each day with a song and a greeting.

We are learning greetings from around the world.

Cool kids grow here!

We are the kids from Stanley Ave.

We really are so cute.

We work hard from 9 till 3.

The teachers think we're beaut!
