Week 1 - Settling In and Exploring our School


We have had a great first week in Room 1. 
Children have been busy exploring in the classroom, and in the playground.  
Well done everyone, a lovely peaceful start to the year. 
Gathering natural materials for play


We shared our stories about our holidays.  
Some children went to the beach, some to the pools, and others played at home in the water.  
We looked at different sea creatures, and some of us made jellyfish.


 Exploring the properties of wax crayon and dye.   
Making the tentacles for the jellyfish.


We wrote a poem together about summer, which prompted the discussions about our holidays and being at the beach.  
We talked about how we make memories with our families.


Yesterday was very stormy and windy; we made kites!  








Here we are in front of our school mural - we counted five taniwha, and found our school by the Waikato River.
