Lunch Box Hero

Taylor was Room 16's Lunch Box Hero this week and chose some Weet-bix as his prize.  What a good choice for breakfast Taylor. 

Room 16 Great Runners!

Three children from Room 16 received certificates for their efforts in the recent cross country fun run.  Carnita came second in the year one girls race and Samson was first and Taylor gained second place in the year one boys race.  Well done everyone for trying your best.

Team One Certificates

Tone and Taylor both got Team One Certificates this week.  Taylor has been trying hard with his learning and Tone has been helping to keep the classroom clean and tidy even when it is not his mess.  Thank you for your great team attitude Tone, that we all need to help each other.

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.

Cruze compares his height with Taylor to make sure he was in the right order for our class photo

Room 16s Lunch Box Heroes

Room 16 was lucky that three children had their names drawn out of the lunch box heroes draw.  Taylor got some biscuits, Joelle some Up and Go and Tone go a jar of honey.  I hope you enjoyed sharing your choices from the cupboard with your family.

Friday Fun Activities

Having fun with friends is something we miss at the moment while we are in lockdown but we can still enjoy looking at pictures of us doing things together.

"We have the magic!"

We have been practising using different tools on our iPads.  The children were very excited to use the shapes tools as they saw the shapes appear as if by magic.  Some found it tricky not to let go of the shape but to "draw it out" with their fingers.  I kept assuring them they too had magic fingers and if they kept trying, the shapes would appear.  Soon there was two excited voices saying they had the magic!  I liked the way they kept on trying even though it was tricky to start with.

Elena (on the left) and Taylor succeeded to draw shapes.

Team Certificates 2020

Team Certificates for Week 2. On the left is Carnita and Taylor

In team one, Thursday is certificate day at team assembly.  Today we had our first team assembly and it was very hard to pick just two children to receive a certificate from Room 16.  They have all been working very hard at being kind to each other, listening to the teacher and finishing off their work.  Taylor has worked hard on learning to write his name, even practising at home.  Carnita has been taking pride in her work.  She has been very neat in her colouring and writing and helpful around the class.   Well done to both students.

Having Milk And Fruit

This morning we had milk delivered to our class and the children enjoyed sitting outside drinking a carton of nice cold milk with a straw.  We also had some yummy plums to eat.

An Exciting Day - Turning 5!

Today was Taylor's fifth birthday so we helped him celebrate by singing "Happy Birthday" and he got a birthday certificate.  We hope you had a happy day Taylor.

Beginning a New Year

A new school year has begun with a new class of 5 year olds.  It is all very exciting getting to know new classmates, learning new things and being at "big school".
