Room 11 Angels

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.

Just remember that before school she is pretty busy and she has meetings to go to on Tuesdays and Wednesdays after school.
