Week 6

Another week has raced by.
As it was Daffodil Day today we had a Whacky Hair Day. Check out our photo for the weird and wonderful hair styles Room 10 came up with. Theo and his sister had a stall with daffodils, stickers, and tattoos available for a donation. We also had a coin trail and put money on a printed daffodil. Room 10 covered their daffodil, thank you to everyone for your support with this.
Theo also met three of the Makos and had his photo taken with them.


We have two new 'Stars of the Week'- Kyran and Quinn. They are both doing well at sitting on the mat and waiting their turn. Great work Kyran and Quinn.







Next week we are going to walk to the Suter Art Gallery to view the John Bevan Ford exhibition. I have had a sneak preview and there are some interesting paintings and sculptures to look at.

Week 5

Week 5 has raced by. We continue to learn new words and sounds. Everyone has been working really hard at reading time and great progress is being made. The home support with reading is great and it does make a difference. Thank you for this. It's great to see the children adding up the number of nights they have read and they enjoy reaching the milestones in their reading log books.
Our Stars of the Week are Jonothan, for learning lots of new words and using them in reading and writing; and Jemma for her great reading.

Next Friday is Daffodil Day. Theo and his sister, Zoe, will be selling daffodil tattoos. We are having a school wide Whacky Hair Day on Friday as well. A gold coin for the money trail would be appreciated.

Book Character Dress Up Day


On Friday we dressed up as a character from a book. This was to celebrate Library Week. At Kowhai Syndicate Assembly we had a parade to show off our costumes. We were all excited and enjoyed looking at all the amazing costumes.
A big thank you to parents for your support with this event.

Friday 7 August

We are at the end of Week 3. This week has flown by. We have all worked really hard to learn our sounds of the week - p, n, z, and w; and our words see and put. In maths we are learning addition. This means we are putting two groups together.
We started folk dancing with the children in Renwick 1. We also enjoyed singing and dancing to Alison's piano playing.
While you are having a restful weekend think about which book character you will be dressing up as next Friday. We will be having a parade at Kowhai Syndicate assembly.


Our Stars of the Week are Marcus and Ty. Marcus received a certificate at Kowhai Syndicate assembly but Ty was sick today. Congratulations, we are proud of you Marcus and Ty.
