Reading Buddies

Reading Buddies from Room 11 visited us today to read picture books to us.

Our thoughts...

The reading buddies were good because they read us a story. Fleur

I liked it because I like stories. Scarlett

I like to read stories, it's better than watching TV. Sofia

My buddy was a good reader. He read us three stories! Luke

I read 'Look At Me' to my buddy. Harriet

I liked the Charlie and Lola story. Lila

We shared some of our reading books with them too!

Learning together...

Discovery Time with Room 1

We joined in with Room 1 for some 'Discovery' Time today. 

Discovery is the perfect opportunity to excite children's curiosity, discover their strengths and stand back and observe how they work together as they choose from a range of activities and self-direct their own learning. 

We focused on the ‘Key Competencies’ of ‘managing self’ and ‘relating to others’ i.e. looking after equipment, sharing, taking turns, cleaning up when you have finished, trying something new, working with someone you don’t know… 

It was a great way to meet new friends and learn more about each other!

For more information about Discovery, which will officially begin with our four Junior Team classes after we finish swimming, please visit: discoverytime.co.nz

Our first day of school

Room 2 opened today with three students!  We've had a busy day exploring the school and our classroom, visiting the library to choose a class set of books, drawing, playing and learning routines.
