Some more photos from our First Aid training.

Ask your child why we need a Happy Snail for a bandage.

First Aid with Sasha from St. John.

Today Room 7 were very lucky to have Sasha from St. John come in and teach us some First Aid.

We learnt lots about how to look after someone during an emergency. Make sure to ask your child what DRSABC stands for.

Thank you Sasha for a very helpful and informative session.

Spelling testing and Kiwiana work.

Lots of busy work in Room 7 today getting our spelling tests marked and working on our Kiwiana projects.

Busy morning.

The pupils of Room 7 were busy today adding detail and excellence to their work. 

Making our Te Reo signs.

As part of our Te Reo work Room 7 are making display posters to help us when we are pronouncing our words. They are starting to look really cool. The pupils have been split into small groups, one is making the English half and the other is making the Maori translation. I'm looking forward to the finished pieces as the groups are showing their ACER value of Excellence. Well done!! 😄

Thank you PTA (Home and School Team)

At the end of last term the Learning Teams were very kindly given a large amount of money to spend, which we are extremely grateful for. I had the pleasure of spending this cash and used it to buy new books for our classes which the students are currently enjoying. Thank you once again from the very Happy senior students.

Here are a few photos of the children using them during our quiet reading time.

Thursday Morning.

Another busy morning in Room 7. Pupils are looking forward to our second visit of the week to Life Education and Harold after morning tea. We are just getting some of our finishing touches added to our work, publishing our letters on the computers, competitively spelling using Steal It! And adding detail to our Graphica activities.

Graphica Boys working on their clay.

As part of a writing group six Year 6 boys have been working on creative writing to develop the language they use in their work, alongside developing their enjoyment of writing in general. One of their activities has been to create a character and then make it using clay etc. here is some of the work in progress.

Spelling Time.

We are 'playing' Steal It!

This is an activity similar to Scrabble where pupils are allowed to take words others have made in order to make larger words. Very creative and competitive. 😎

Discovery with our Room 2 Buddies.

Last week we got together with our Buddy class and had fantastic Discovery session.

Here are some images of the cool things we got up to.

Great writing Talon, and I didn't even have to bribe him 😃
