Celebrating Learning

In Ruru we are working hard on our letters, sounds, words and numbers.

These clever Ruru's have created posters with their full names and numbers.. Well done boys!

We also like to celebrate our learning with our 'Quality Work' Table! 

Everyone works really hard to get their work onto this table...

Watch this space for photos of our hard work.

We would also like to say a big thank-you to our parents, brothers and sisters who come in each morning to help us with our reading and handwriting. We really appreciate your support and you have been snapped by our 'Explorer' for your efforts!

Have a lovely week :)

Sustainable Communities Through Kai

Kia Ora!

We have begun our new inquiry into 'sustainable communities through kai' and Ruru has been busy gathering wonderings about what we could investigate. 

We have finally come to our Big Question  - 

"I wonder if we can grow our own foods and make something from it to share?"

We now have to decide how to make this happen! There are a lot of things we must consider:

What will we grow?

What is in season?

How do we plant and look after it?

How long does it take to produce food?

Where we will grow our food? Inside or outside?

How will we get our supplies needed to grow things? 

What will we do once the food is ready?

Some food for thought...

Start leaving comments so we can chat about them on Monday!!

Have a lovely weekend and looking forward to sharing our ideas further on Monday!

Smiles,

Miss Welch :)

Holiday time!!

Hi Ruma Ruru,

I hope you are resting up and have fun during the holidays. Wow, I am really looking forward to all of our adventures next term!

I have put up some fun games and activities on our blog- you can find them under 'Games and Songs.' You can also leave a comment on here telling me what you are up to for the holidays.

Love Miss Welch.

P.S Mr Piggles is having a wonderful holiday too. He is enjoying having a sleep in and seeing some of his friends like Mr Dog. 

Easter Funtivities Continued...

We would like to say a huge thank you to Ann Messmer for kindly sending us some awesome Easter Decoration kits all the way from America!! 

We spent an afternoon making designs of how we wanted our eggs to look, using crayons to draw 'magic' patterns, dying the eggs funky colours, and then decorating them further with glitter and stickers...wow it was full on! 

Also a big thanks to our patient and fun parent helpers who came in for the decorating. We couldn't have done it without you!

Unfortunately we ran out of time to show you our finished products...but we were so excited to show them off to other students and our families. Until next time! :)

Buddy Antics with Ruma Kakapo!

We were SO excited to meet up with our buddy class (Ruma Kakapo) last Thursday morning for some fun Easter activities. We loved working with our big buddies to make Easter boxes (perfect for Easter treats as it turns out) and 'Racing Rabbits'. Here are some photos and footage of the busy morning. Enjoy!
