Football

This term Room 5 were lucky enough to attend the football clinics held at Elm Park School. We learned some new and exciting games and skills. We also got to play our very own game of football in the giant, inflatable pitch.

We had an amazing time!

Measuring

This term Room 5 have been learning about measurement during maths time. We used tools from the maths trolley to measure different objects in our classroom.

PJ and his friends discovered that the door in Room 5 is 35 dominoes long.

Learning my Letters

PJ has been working really hard to learn all of his letters and the sounds that they make.
I am matching the lower-case letter and the upper-case letter with a picture that starts with the same sound.
Well done PJ for being so resilient.

New Zealand Landscapes

On Thursday 5th September the Year 1 students went on a trip to North Head, Devonport. This term we have been learning about New Zealand landscapes and the natural and man-made features found within them. We got to explore the natural hills, rocks and beaches as well as the man-made tunnels, paths and trenches. We had a great time seeing and learning about new things!

Here is PJ with his friends Zahrai and Zavier exploring the beach.

Making Music

Elm Park School are lucky enough to have the best music teacher, Mrs D. This term we have been learning how to keep a beat and play some percussion instruments. All the children in Room 5 LOVE music! 

Here is PJ playing a lollipop drum. 

Reading - Sand Pies

The Baby Sharks reading group read a book called "Sand Pies". So we followed the instructions in the book to make our very own sand pies in the school sandpit. Check out what I made!

Junior School Assembly Performance

In Week 2 Room 5 were the presenters at the Junior School Assembly. We were lucky enough to wear traditional Tongan tapa and lei as we preformed a Tongan song called "Malimali Mai". PJ was such a great dancer and even taught some moves to other students in the class for the performance.

Portrait Art and Pirate Writing

This term Mrs Scott taught me how to draw a self portrait. First I sketched my portrait in my sketch book. After Mrs August enlarged this, I traced over the lines in vivid. Then I used water dissolvable pastels to add some colour and make my face look real. I added a pirate hat, some stitches and an eye patch to turn myself into a pirate!

"I am a terrible pirate. I like to drive a boat."

Water Skills

This term we have been using the school swimming pool as part of our Water Skills unit. I am learning to be safe and confident in and around the water.

Welcome to Room 5

Welcome to my blog!
In 2019 I will be in Room 5 with Mrs August.
I can't wait to share my learning with you this year.
