Hello and welcome to Room 11
We are a class of little people who just love
to learn.
This is what our busy day looks like;
Fitness: We
start the day with exercise. We find it helps us to focus in the classroom.
Handwriting:
We are learning how to write the letters of the alphabet. Some of us are
writing using a pencil in our books.
Oral Language: Before we begin writing we share our thinking and ideas with
others.
Story Writing: We draw a simple picture
to plan our ideas. Some of us are writing all by ourselves using the word cards
to check our spelling approximations.
Brain Food: At 10.00 am we stop for a really quick snack of either fruit,
vegetables or nuts. You can help by making sure it is cut up for us so it is
easy to eat.
Maths: We are following the
Numeracy Project for Maths. We are divided into ability groups where we use
materials to compute answers to problems. We are getting very good at sharing
our strategies with others. This Term we will look at volume and fractions.
Reading: Each Monday and Wednesday
we get a new book to explore and to take home to share. You can help us by:
·
listening to us read
·
asking us to find high
frequency words
·
getting us to retell the
storyline using our own words
·
asking simple questions
about the plot, setting and characters
·
getting us to locate
information using the index or glossary pages.
Our Library Day is Tuesday.
Topic: We are currently
investigating “Under the Sea”
with a special focus on
how the ocean currents can affect ocean life. We learned so much from our
special trip to the Auckland Museum.
P.E. : We are a learning how to throw and catch a ball correctly.
Kiwi Sport has started and we are learning Rugby League.
We also do Art, Music,
Dance, Drama and Te Reo so we are really tired at the end of the day.
If you need to get hold of
our Teacher, her email address is
Just remember that before
school she is pretty busy and she has meetings to go to on Tuesdays and
Wednesdays after school.
