Term 1
Week 7

On Wednesday the 13th March we had some fantastic children go to the PALS (Physical Activity Leaders) training course at the EA Network Centre.
The PALs programme is a leadership opportunity for students to develop their skills and experience in a sport and physical activity context
Objectives of the PALs Workshops are:
- Build PALs capability in leading sport and physical activity experiences
- Provide PALs with games and ideas to support their school programme- Provide practical experience on 'how to' organise, manage and adapt games and activities.

We have also been working on publishing work and making sure it is quality but also done on time. We have got our fantastic Sky diving descriptions published and on display in class. Look at these expressions in the parachuters, aren't they cool!

Term 1
Week 5 and 6

I week 5 we have been focusing on adding detail to our sentences by adding in verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and a setting. The children have got really confident at seeing their simple sentence and moving towards developing compound and complex sentences. Have have seen all children use these details in their writing independently.

Week 6 = SWIM WEEK and sky dive writing. We have had such a busy week with swim week and also writing recounts on Miss Hannah's sky dive. The children went through the recount structure and discussed their details in their sentences especially their introduction which we have been practising to hook the readers in. Here are some pictures of the children posing for their sky dive publishing presentation, come in and have a look at them.

Week 4

This week Room 1A have been setting up Google Drive as a way to file and share their work with the rest of the class that they have typed up on their devices. We have already got some work up on our classroom wall, please feel free to come in and have a look at their published writing.
We have also started writing letters to Mr Wheeler for those selected to become school leaders. These are chosen based on the PRDIE values that they show and how they interact with the children and staff in our school.
Here are the fantastic students in Room 1A for Term 1 2019!

This week we have been establishing buddy classes. Room 1A is working with Room 3 for buddy reading on a Friday afternoon. It is really awesome to see Room 1A being those fantastic buddy helpers with the little children. They are being patient, using a positive tone, and reading to and with the Room 3 children.

The finished product of our Korowai turned out fantastic and the kids and I are all very proud. Our Korowai is now on display in our classroom if you would like to come and have a look at it.

Week 2
Term 1

This week has been a week of accomplishments and significance. We have created our own collaborative Korowai in Room 1A. We were learning to share our beliefs, ideas, rights and responsibilities to develop guidelines for a positive classroom community. The goal of the activity is to construct a class Korowai cloak which will display what we value in our class. Th process was one of working together cooperatively to create the cloak. Negotiating a caring classroom environment in this way reinforces the Mãori concept of ako.
We have also had our first coding club group that have been working with Mrs Bodie Rouse to finish their first level and receive certificates. Well done guys.
Kind regards
Miss Hannah
