 So watch this space for more news.

We have begun our second journey of learning this year.

Our first topic was Food Technology we  learnt to cook food, how to preserve it. ' How to keep our food safe'.

We  are coming to the end of our 'Hikoi' where we found how to make our world safer by caring about each and by practicing 'Violence Free Begins With Me'. 

We reviewed our Class Treaty.  Room One will practice the  ANZAC values of respect, hope, fairness, co-operation, courage - to try new things.  Our promise is we will work and live together as a family in Room One. 

 We all like working on the computer in class. We love going into the ICT Room where we can all be on the computer at the same time.  We use picture images and words to write our own stories on Clicker 5.  

Be sure to read Angus's writing about his dog in  'Roxy's Adventure' in our blog section. 

 We love Kidpics Studio - it is easy to use.

We love playing music and games on the computer in our personal choice time.  We use the class camera to take our own photos. 

Check back in to see more of our work later. 

Our timetable looks like this: 

Monday is Circle Sharing time, where we talk and write about our adventures over the weekend. 

Tuesday is our Library and ICT time. 

Wednesday is 'Whole School Assembly' time and also our weekly art and craft day.  

Thursday is cooking time with Mrs Jackson.

Friday is Celebration of our Learning time. We also have buddy time with other classes, when we can fit it in.

 Remember to ask your child to share their writing.

We'll continue to post our writing for you to read.

Thomas went to see 'How to Train a Dragon'. He has written about his pet dragon Toothless.

Mrs S was thrilled when Hamish, independently started writing three sentence stories on the computer not once but twice a day. "AWESOME WORK TAMA!"

BoMin walked for ten minutes in her walker today. "GO GIRL GO!"

Hamish stayed calm when he was teased at lunchtime. 

Thomas and BoMin read together at Read-athon time.

Thomas and Angus went on a hunt around the school looking for teen numbers (11,12,13,14,15,16,17, 18, 19) and numbers above 20 (twenty).

Check out our beach balls. We made sun umbrellas too.

   Check back to see our awesome sun umbrellas soon.
