What a Busy Week!!

Last week was so busy! On Monday we had a new student teacher come to our class. Her name is Miss McDonald and once we had got over the excitement of her name being the same as a popular place where we like to go to eat with our families, we enjoyed having her teach us and help us in our learning.

On Wednesday we had the first of several weekly tennis lessons, on Thursday we went on our Rainforest trip to the Waitakeres and on Friday it was Funky Feet day and the day we performed in our assembly with Room 19.

Here are a few photos to whet your appetites.

We will be doing a lot of writing this week about our busy Week 2 so there will be many more photos to come once we have written our recounts for you to read on this blog.

Soccer with Room 16

Last Wednesday as it poured down with rain we had a soccer coaching session with Room 16.
We played games and had a chance to release some energy.
It was great to have a soccer ball each and to try and dribble the ball from one side of the hall to the other without getting caught.

What's in the Red Box?

We did some writing on what we thought would be in a special red box that was on the mat in our classroom. We thought about all the things that could possibly be in there and here are some of our ideas.

Race Relations Day

We had perfect weather for Race Relations Day last Thursday.
We took a class photo of those of us in costume and then lined up with the rest of school behind the flags which represented our nationalities. Then came the parade where we were able to show everybody our costumes.
The rest of the day was spent playing games and making craft from different cultures.

Fitness time!

When we go out to Fitness we do heaps of exercises.    We get in line first and then we go out the door for Fitness. First we do shuttle runs and then we do runs back and forwards.

When we go out to Fitness with Room Six we put our hands on our side and we walk nicely out of class. I like to play Simon Says. We get in a circle and we listen to what the Simon Says. We run on the spot. I like playing shuttle runs. I like to do hula hoops sometimes. I like to jump on the spot and skip on the spot and jog on the spot. When we are finished we go in a line and then we go back to class.

When we go to Fitness with Room 6 we do heaps of fitness. I like to do shuttle runs and I like to run fast. I like to jump through the hoops and I like to hop and I like to jump on the spot.

Jellyfish to swim in front of our Yellow Submarine

We now have a line of colourful jellyfish floating in front of the Room 6 yellow submarine.
We have our faces peeking out of the portholes and now when the breeze blows the tentacles of the jellyfish flutter and dance.
Last Friday at the junior syndicate assembly we showed our jellyfish to the rest of the Year 1's and 2's. We were also very proud of Joshua and Rowyn when they got their certificates.

Our Buddy Class is Room 19

On Fridays we try and see our buddy class. We love to get together and read books. Last Friday we went outside and read books with our new buddies.
