A great start to term 1

The learners of Room 18 and I have enjoyed a busy and productive second week.

Our week has been filled with swimming, positive assembly, a mihi whakatau for the new teachers and students at Hamilton East school and lots of new learning.

Sketching our mighty Totora tree on Thursday, learners practise observational drawing.

We have started our first maths unit "All About Me" where learners are discovering how to collect and display data about themselves and their peers.

We have also started reading groups with Whaea Robyn and Room 17.

Another thing we began this week is our portraits. Each learner has come up with five words they think describe themselves. These are part of a collage that will be displayed in our classroom. I'm looking forward to seeing the amazing results. The photo below is our brainstorm of some words we could use to describe ourselves.



Next week is going to be another jam packed week for our learners. Swimming lessons with Find Your Field Of Dreams begin and we have our trip to Hukanui Marae on Friday. Notes were sent home this week, and need to be returned before Friday.

I hope you all are having a great weekend, and look forward to seeing our learners bursting and ready to go on Monday.
