Duffy Certificate Awards

On the last day of term Room 16 had 2 Duffy certificate winners.  Both were for reading and Mrs Wilson awarded a certificate to Meria for her enthusiastic sharing of what she had learnt in reading.  Room 16's award went to Chad for the great improvement in his reading.  Mr Burt also gave out some certificates from early in term 1 and Olivia got a certificate for swimming.

Team Certificates for Term 2 Week 11

Peyton and Rataimore were our team certificate winners this week.  Peyton has been getting on with work and making sure she gets things finished while Rataimore has been trying hard to write down the letter sounds that she hears.  Keep up the good work both of you.

Animal Yoga Poses

As part of our Engage programme we have been doing some animal yoga poses.  We found if we did our breathing exercises first to get ourselves feeling calm then it was much easier to stand on one leg like a flamingo.  Also if we focused on something that didn't move but looked straight ahead it was so much easier to balance.

Olivia hung upside down like a bat

Rataimore found standing like a flamingo was easy

Elena used her "outstretched wings" for balance

Our Volcano Stories

Rataimore drew lots of rocks and wrote about them in her story

Look What I Can Do!

Rataimore was able to follow the gymnastics coaches's instructions to balance on her tummy and put her toes up by her head.  You are very flexible, Rataimore and good listening to be able to do the exercise.

Getting Ready For Our Class Photo

On Monday we had our class photo taken.  We were asked to get in height order from tallest to smallest.  It was easy as we have been learning about how to compare how tall we were with a friend so we were able to quickly get the job done.
