Term 1 Week 3

Wow what a great week we had with the weather!
This week Lorne from Sports Southland started his 6 week programme with us, working on Run, Jump, Throw.  This week he introduced us to the correct way to run, how to jump off two feet and land on two feet,  and he also introduced us to some throwing apparatus that we will be using next week.

We had some great learners to celebrate this week at Celebration Time.

For inquiry this week, we discussed our school motto and what it means.  We also discussed why we have a new school logo and what the picture actually means.  All the children should be able to discuss it with you at home.

Term 1 Week 2

Last week at Celebration Time we were on MVP.  Our first MVP for the year was Hayley Smith who demonstrates our school value of Self Responsibility.

For the first two Celebration Times we have had some children receive certificates for their great learning.

This week for maths we have been focusing on time, learning some facts about time e.g. how many days in a year, how many months in a year, how many days in each month and a lot more interesting facts that you can ask your child about.

We have also been understanding analogue and digital time on clocks.

Term 1 Week 1

Welcome back everyone to a new year in Team Tui.  What great weather it has been to start the year!!!

This is our awesome bunch of learners in Team Tui this year.  It is going to be a great year of learning and already everyone has either remembered routines from last year or have very quickly picked up on the new routines.
Over the next couple of weeks we will be learning routines for reading, writing and maths.  I will also be carrying out some testing to see all the fantastic learning that has been happening over the holidays.
