Fantastic spellers in ruma waru!!


Term 1, week 4

Kia Ora  Whanau/ caregivers

This week  Hosea, Ruihi, Quiara-Lane, Roman, Tamati, Troy, Manga, Edward got 5 out of 5 words correct on our first spelling test for the year.

During the week we have been practising our words by writing them out using jovi crayon. I call this rainbow spelling.

Thank you also to all the amazing parents/caregivers that have been supporting  their tamariki in becoming a better speller. Once we have learnt essential list 1, we will move onto learning essential list 2.

Have a fabulous weekend

Exploring the classroom

Term 1, Week 2

Kia Ora Whanau,

Well it has been a wet and humid weekend. I hope this yucky weather clears up soon!!

This week room 8 has been exploring  the classroom, we have had lots of play and learning as they go alongside each other hand in hand.

Learning together, talking and sharing

Play is important in learning as so many learning conversations happen  and the child has meaningful  learning experiences in a safe environment.

Have a great weekend
