Term 4 Week 1

This week we welcomed ten new superstars to Room 14.
All our new students have fitted into our class so well and have had a great week of learning.
Welcome to Timothy, Kiera, Keziah, Mikayla,Caitlin, Bree, Austin, Zoe, Avee and Peter.
We have had some fun exploring measurement in different ways this week.
We have been measuring heights and lengths and also measuring ingredients to make some play dough for the classroom.
Our new students enjoyed their first swim in the school pool on Monday.  It was great to see so many children enjoying the water and gaining water confidence ready for summer.
On Tuesday we enjoyed a fun PMP session exploring the equipment and using our gross motor skills.
We have been very fortunate this week with the weather.  We have been able to spend time investigating outdoors.  We have used the chalk to make maths obstacle courses and hopscotches.  We have also helped out in the garden and found some interesting living creatures.
It was wonderful to have our new students welcomed to Tawa School with a powhiri on Thursday morning.  The older students at school helped their new friends.
We are learning about plants and growing this term.
On Friday we made a collage picture of a flower and labelled the different parts of a plant.
We are excited about doing some planting next week and watching our plants grow.
