Lower Hutt library trip-week one, term 3.

We were lucky enough to get a fine day for our first trip to the library for the third term.  

Te Reo on Thursdays

Lots of action during this Te Reo session. Learning how to control poi. Listening carefully to instructions, working with a team and having fun. All key ingredients!

Celebrating the opening of the new sandpit.

Great to see the whole school involved for the official opening of the new sandpit.  Congratulations Sadie and Toby on the special roles you had.

WORKING TOGETHER-sharing ideas, taking turns and listening to others.

Working together to retell the story of "Sleeping Beauty."

Drawing a story map to show the beginning, middle and end of the story and then sharing it with another group.

Key values-Respect

Respect-In Room 11 we are working together to create and maintain a culture of respect. This involves many aspects of classroom life.  The photos below illustrate some of them: Working co-operatively, sharing spaces, sharing ideas, finding fun in learning and working independently.

Classroom Plays.

Taking part in classroom plays develops many different skills: reading with expression, understanding the story you are presenting, developing confidence to perform in front of others, taking turns, being part of an appreciative audience and having fun!

This continues to be one of the most popular times of the week. Thank you so much for your help Gina.
