Worms worms and more worms

As you are aware, we are looking at "change." Room 6 (with room 5) have been studying life cycles. We have looked at the human life cycle and now we are on to worms. We have made a worm farm. This allowed the children the opportunity to observe worms up close AND has also lead us in another topic to do with change-recycling! Stay tuned for regular updates.

Ahoy me maties

What a fabulous afternoon! Thank you especially to those parents who put so much effort into making this such an awesome treasure hunt. Here are some photos for you to enjoy. I would like take this opportunity to say "Happy Easter." I look forward to seeing you all next term.

Latest update

Hi everybody! It was great to see so many parents, friends and grandparents at assembly on Friday. Didn't room 6 do very well? As I'm sure you are all aware, we are up to our next class reward which will be a treasure hunt followed by a shared afternoon tea. This will take place on Monday (11/4/11) from 2-3pm. This has changed from the original idea (after school) to facilitate those children who will need to go home on the school bus. If you are free, please bring a plate and join our celebrations. I'm looking forward to seeing you then.
I have enclosed a photo of room 6 receiving their personalised book marks. My sister in Ireland made one for each child. I hope these will be put to GREAT use over the coming months and even years!

Room 6 class reward

Room 6 is the best! Friday was a very special day for us. We had our first whole class reward for 2011. Fruit kebabs...Yum! Everyone was soooooooooooooo excited and it was awesome to be a part of such a celebration. Well done Room 6! You deserved your reward. You are all working so hard and achieving so much. I am very proud of you!

Dress up time

Room 6 enjoyed some dress up time this week!

Apart from that...

We also did lots of other activities. On Wednesday we had a fantastic session in the pool with Ricardo. He will return this Tuesday for a follow up.

We have also (after lots of hard work and effort) reached our FIRST class reward. On Friday we are going to make and EAT yummy fruit kebabs. It would be great if you could pack an extra piece of fruit for us to share. I will provide everything else. Have a great week. I hope to see lots of you at our second Pahoia triathlon tomorrow!

"Stars" in the making!

Hi everyone! I would like to take the opportunity to thank the parents who came to our "meet the teacher evening". It was a great way to start the year.I have taken on board your comments and will act upon these promptly.

This week has been another brilliantly busy one. I feel as though our reading programme is really starting to flow nicely. One of my goals is to try and introduce different types of text to the children. This week, the giraffes read a play. To introduce the concept of reading for an audience, they presented this to Rooms 7 & 8. Today, I took Tyler and Liam (the giraffes) into the Green Room to record their presentation. I have uploaded it for you all to see. Enjoy our week 3 Room 6 stars!
