Buddy Reading with Room 2

This term the whole school has made the decision to do buddy reading each day at 11am Monday through to Thursday.  Room 5 and Room 2 are buddy classes.  It is fantastic to see how well this works, how much reading milage we can get in during this time and how strong relationships are being formed between our tamariki.

Designing a Water Safety Poster

Room 5 participated in a challenge that the Westland Rec Centre had put out this week.  The challenge was to create a water safety poster that contained at least 3 facts, was bright and colourful and taught others about water safety.

Here are some wonderful examples from Logan Oates and Lochie Mills.

Our Visit with Harold - Learning To Make Good Choices

We have had a fabulous start back to the term with some great visits to the Life Education Van.  During our time in the Life Ed Van we have been learning about making choices.  Inshirah has put together a fantastic slideshow explaining how we make choices by using the hamburger model.




Feel free to visit the children blogs to see their individual Harold Hamburgers.

Here are some photos from our visit.
