Jack has been working hard at reading and he knows 20 high frequency words.

Term 3 Week 2

This week is Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Maori language week). We are learing some new waiata. Our favourite is Pu Kupu Maori by Hirini Melbourne.
We are also learning about what it is like to live with a disability. Today Mrs Cassin came to talk to us about what it is like to be blind. She brought her guide dog, Peddie.
We learnt that the Foundation of the Blind chose Peddie for Mrs Cassin. We also learnt that when a guide dog is wearing it's harness it is working. We shouldn't pat a guide dog when it is working because it might get distracted and make the person bump into something.
We thanked Mrs Cassin for coming and we enjoyed learning from her.
Our sounds this week are t, i, ee, and or. Our words are this and are.
In PE we are learning to skip. We all work hard at this and are getting better.

Term 3 Week 1

Welcome back to school. It was great to see everyone again this morning. All the children looked refreshed after their holiday and some have even had smart haircuts.
We welcomed Kyran, Jasper, Jack, and Grace this morning. There are now 16 children in Room 10. By the end of the week we will have 18 children in our room as Jemma and Matthew start on Thursday.
We have remebered things we learnt last term which is great.
This week we are learning the sounds 's', 'a', 'oa', and 'ie'. Our words for this week are 'my' and 'we'. In maths we will focus on learning numbers and counting.
In the holidays the sandpit was filled with sand. A special thanks to Sam and his Dad, Nick, who joined the working bee to move the sand into the pit. It is great to be able to build all sorts of roads and tunnels in the sand. If you would like to see photos of the working bee have a look on Tracy's blog - Room 11.
Keep smiling and enjoy yoru reading books each night.
