Term 2 
Week 3

This week we have been very busy getting into the groove of our Technology projects. The children are moving through the technology cycle and at each stage reflecting on what they have done and what is the next step. We had a fantastic trip the the Ashburton Ecocentre where the children saw the recycling centre, the rubbish pit being squashed into bins to travel up to Christchurch, and then choose things from the shop to contribute towards their project for our Technology unit this term. Thank you to Lesley who was a great tour guide and gave us a lot of information to think about.

We were also very thankful to have received the ANZ netball grant and receive brand new uniforms for our school. The children are happy with them and will be playing with pride out on the court with them for the rest of the season.

Term 2
Week 2

We received a very important letter from the Christchurch police last Friday. Room 1A and Miss Hannah felt very privileged receiving this and felt proud of our efforts to show thanks to the police officers on duty on that day.

Term 2
Week 1

Welcome back to Term 2!
We have had a fantastic start back to the term. This term our writing focus in on instruction and persuasions. We have started this off by looking and finding bossy verbs, precise nouns, and descriptive nouns in different instructions. We have been looking at recipe books and identify what is needed in an instructions and highlight those key vocabulary needed.

We have also been developing our visual mihi's representing where we have come from. We have been practising using a clear, loud, and enthusiastic voice. They are now on display in Room 1A.
