Did you see our photo in the newsletter?

We had a lot of fun visiting the wetlands.

Room 7 has made an autumn display for the foyer.  It looks very colourful.

We are going to be learning more about wetland areas this term.

 We are visiting the Field of Remembrance and the flagpole after our school ANZAC Day assembly.

Room 7 enjoys the challenge of climbing to the top of the rope playground.

Branell said, "When you get to the top of the rope playground you can see right over the school".

Reeve said, "When you are at the top and someone is at the bottom they look like a little dot".

Jake said, "When you are at the top and people shake the ropes it feels a bit freaky!"

Max said, "When I want to come down I slide down the pole like a fireman".

Saskia said, "You can have races to get to the top".

My goal for the children of Room 7 in their writing and reading learning is to

 

- express themselves sincerely

-  to want to read books   

 

To help us with this goal we use a programme called 'Daily 5'.

 

Every day we include these five activities as part of our programme.

 

 

1  Read to myself

2  Read to someone

3  Listen to reading

4  Work on writing

5  Word work

 

Your support at home with these activities is much appreciated!

       



 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.
