We look forward to our time at the pool every day.  We are learning skills which will keep us safe in, on and around the water.

WELCOME TO ROOM 7'S BLOG

FOR 2015

It is Week 3 already!

We have packed a lot into a short time.

We have been busy getting to know each other and learning about the classroom routines that make our classroom a happy and fun learning space.

We look forward to sharing with you

so keep an eye on this space.

Happy Birthday Stanley Avenue

We enjoyed Mrs Wilson's visit to our class.  She was a student at Stanley Avenue School in the 1970's.

We walked around the school with her and she talked about the buildings as they were when she was a school girl here.  There have been lots of changes!

She told us about the games that she played.  She brought her 'elastics' and showed us how to play the game.

We were very interested in looking at her photo albums which gave us lots of ideas about what life was like at primary school 40 years ago.

New friends

At the end of Term 2 we farewelled five of our friends who have moved through to Room 8.  We are very happy to welcome eight new friends from Room 6.  They are working very hard to get to know their new classmates and classroom routines.

This term is a very special term for our school.  Stanley Avenue School is having a birthday - a very special 50th anniversary! We will be learning about celebrations and life in the 1960's when Stanley Avenue School opened for the first time. 

Willow came to school

Willow came to school with her handler Steph to teach us how to be safe around strange dogs.  We learnt what to do if a dog we don't know comes up to us.

Book Fair

Room 7 were very excited to see the Book Fair truck arrive at school.

Thank you to all the families who supported the Fair so generously!

A great start to Term 2

The Minstrel came to our school today.  He talked to us about being safe in the water when going out in a boat and looking after the fish and their environment.  We were very lucky to have Mrs Prattley in our class as well.  She brought along some fishing gear for us to look at.
  One of our favourite songs is Kai Moana.  It has a great message for the fishermen!

Kai Moana, food from the sea
Kai Moana to feed the family.
Fish for the future and there will always be more
Kai Moana for you and me.
