Buddy Time

Fun Friday

We love Fridays at Halcombe, we get to do fun stuff such as buddy time.  Yesterday we had a buddy swim.  Thanks room 5 you are great buddies!

Football

Football For Girls

Yesterday Jess from NZ football came to teach the girls some great soccer games like Sharks and Frozen. The girls enjoyed learning the new skills and had a lot of fun.

Here are a few pictures. 

Maths

Magic Number

Yesterday the children were given a number  to 20.  They had to complete certain tasks, such as write an addition and subtraction problem, find the number of objects, make the number out of lego etc.  They photographed all the tasks and created a pic collage on the ipads.  

Here are some pictures.

Literacy Time

Literacy

It has been great to have a full week back at school. We have managed to practise our literacy activities and establish routines.  Here are a few pictures of the children following their literacy contracts and engaging in their different literacy stations. Nice work room 1.

 

Kai Iwi Beach

Our Beach Trip

What a fantastic day we had at the Kai Iwi Beach.  The weather was perfect and the kids had such a fabulous day.  We walked around the beach looking at interesting things, digging in the sand, making discoveries and collecting shells.  We had fun using the magnets on the sand and looking through the magnifying glass at the shells and driftwood.  Our kind parent helpers assisted us with our sandcastle building and paddling in the sea.  We finished off the day with a play on the awesome pirate playground.  Even the teachers had a go!

Here are a few pictures.  Thank you to our wonderful parents for dedicating your time to come and join us, we hope you had fun too.

Week one

Our First Week.

We had a busy but fun first week back.  We have done lots of activities around 'getting to know you' and friendships. We have been practising the new routines and procedures of the class, established our class rules, as well as learning math and literacy games. Our self portrait art is now hanging on our class wall.  Parents you are welcome to call in before or after school to come and see your child's work.

Here are a few snapshots from our great week!
