Last week we celebrated our first birrthday in Room 11 when Laura-Joy turned 6. We shared balloons, fairy bread and popcorn and did a special Maori version of the Hoki Toki dance.
We continued to use the information acquired in our inquiry unit along with the green thinking hat to help us come up with ideas to help make Nelson Central School a better place for visually disabled friends. This week we will put these ideas into a digital format and a letter to send to Dr Potaka and Chrisitine.
On the theme of letter writing we now have our very own Room 11 postbox. The collection times are Monday-Friday 2.55pm. If you want to send a letter to a Room 11 friend check out the rules on the top of the postbox. If anyone has old envelopes that we could reuse please pass them onto Tracy. Our poem last week was "The Postman" to celebrate our new postal service. Have a listen on the clip below.
This week our tricky words are 'there' and 'these' and we are sorting out the difference between the 'th' and 'f' sound. We will also be looking at what a noun is and linking this to our Te Reo work on classroom objects. In maths we will continue to work on instant recall of basic facts to 10.
Check out the new links on the right of our blog to Little Animals Activity Centre and Digraph poems. Don't forget that Friday is Wacky Hair Day with a gold coin collection going towards the daffodil cancer fund.
