Dancing with Room 21

Today we started practising moving in different ways for our dance we will be performing with room 21! Each class in Ara Teina will be performing a dance to a different version of "True Colours"   Our version has a saxophone in it! 

Thank you!

A BIG thanks to Tye and Bridget's mums who came and helped put away all our books this morning!

All about me

WALT explore and share ideas about ourselves and others

This term we are getting to know all our new friends in Room 14. We will be using Padlet to complete a profile about each of the members of Room 14. Padlet is password protected to ensure full privacy of children's details and only our classroom will have access. Double click once you get to the wall to add you information. If you don't have access to the internet the Junior ancillary room will be open before and after school.

Home work task: 
Click on the link below and add the password to complete a post about yourself. You can even add a picture! Passwords will be sent home in our homework books Wednesday.

Swimming

In swimming this week our three groups are learning three new things! The nemos are building confidence in the water by making waterfalls with cups, the Doris practised their strong kicking and our last group was learning to float using noodles! We had a lot of fun in the pool. 


Although we try our best sometimes our uniforms get mixed up. To ensure we can find our belongings please make sure all uniforms are labelled! Thanks 

We love writing

Today in Writing the blue pencils group was learning how to set up their books! They worked very hard to remember the 3 things you need to do; write their name, the date and draw in their Casey eggs. The rest the class used the mimio, painted a picture and wrote about it and practiced their handwriting using the Casey the caterpillar shapes. We love Writing!!
