Week 6 News

Wow what a great week in Room VH.  We have been doing lots of reading and writing.  Check out some fantastic writing 'The Best Part of Me' on our writing pages on the right.  Such a great effort by everyone!  I have been able to post most of the children's but some were too big to scan so they are up on the wall for you to enjoy too in the classroom.

We finished our siapo art.  The kids are very proud of their efforts in this artwork.

Last week we said goodbye to our friend Abby with a delicious shared lunch.  Thank you so much for helping us make her send off a great one.  We miss you Abby!

Today we had Discovery Time this morning.  Our theme was parties and celebrations with a focus on sharing and working together nicely.

We talked about what this would look like and the kids came up with these suggestions:

• Sharing
• Speaking nicely to each other
• Sharing our ideas
• Helping your friends
• Being nice
• Discussing ideas together
• Using other people's ideas
• Mixing our ideas together

Here is a video of our fun this morning.
