Today we took a deep dive into ‘The Gruffalo’ with Mrs Donaldson. After reading the story together, we identified the characters and explored a range of activities. There were lots of opportunities to talk about the story and our favourite characters. Room 1 loved making the fox and the snake from the story!
Do you have a favourite story? We’d love to hear about it in the comments below.
Did you know today (29/02/2024) is a very special day? That’s because it’s a leap day. In Room 1 we were super excited because we got a whole extra day of summer!
A leap year only occurs every 4 years, so the next leap year will be in 2028.
How old will you be in the next leap year?
We decided that there is no better way to celebrate a leap day than by doing leap frog jumps!
We had lots of fun leap frogging around the playground.
During Term 1 we really enjoy exploring our topic, ‘All about me’. Check out the bright and colourful artwork that we created by completing a small self portrait using pencil (and vivid) and how we used coloured squares to create a pattern on our border. Did you know a pattern is simply a repeated decorative design? What patterns can you spot in our artwork and what colours would you use if you created your own pattern?
One of the students in Room 1 simply loves robots. He enjoys creating them and loves drawing them. Check out some of the different robots I have observed in the classroom already this term. I am super proud to support your passion project Tui!
Glen Innes School starts back on Thursday 1st February at 9.00.
I am looking forward to welcoming you into Room 1 in 2024.
What do you hope to learn, create and share in your learning journey in 2024?
This is our friend Tui. Tui came with us to Ambury Farm. Keijah wrote the song about Tui. Enjoy our movie and do not forget to leave a comment.
Kia Ora we are room 1 and room 3. We go to Glen Innes School. Our class has been learning about shadows.
We shared our learning by writing a song and making it into a movie called “My Shadow”. We hope you like our movie!
We went for a walk around the school to look for spring! Here is what we wrote.
