Term 1, Week 4

Happy birthday and welcome to Room 14 Mason.

This week we have been busy completing our learning maps to share with our families at parent, teacher conferences next week.  We hope you enjoyed talking with your child about their learning map.

We also have a new friend who sneaks into our class at night time and leaves us notes.  Our friend is called 'The Fun Fairy'.  We have been writing questions to the fun fairy who has been answering them everyday.  We have to make sure we are quiet during the day so the fun fairy can sleep and then can look after our classroom at night time.

 

 On Wednesday we had a visit from Kelly Sports.  We enjoyed participating in rugby, football, golf, hockey and throwing games.
 
In Room 14 we LOVE stories.  One of our favourites is 'The Gingerbread Man'.  This week we have been enjoying a lot of activities about the story and have particularly enjoyed retelling and sequencing the story using puppets and other props.
 

To follow up with our week long Gingerbread man focus we drew our own Gingerbread men and then we cut and pasted pictures into the correct story sequence.

 
We had lots of fun decorating our yummy gingerbread men.  We used our pincer grip and fine motor skills to add eyes, nose, mouth and buttons.  YUM!!
 
After that we made a graph of which part of the gingerbread man we ate first.

 

On Friday afternoon we had a wonderful time playing outside games with our buddy class Ruma Rima and Matua David.  We are so lucky to have such great big buddies.

  Lastly - very special thank you to everyone for your healthy contributions to our shared lunch celebration today.  Thanks too to Annette.  We will miss you in Room 14!
