Term 1 Week 6

We have been busy authors this week, writing recounts about Athletics Day and about an 'Exciting Moment' we have had.  Our Athletics Day recounts will be published to our individual blogs so please check them out.

We celebrated great learners at this weeks Celebration Time.

Next week we have a very busy week with Green Day on Monday, Constable Graham in on Tuesday and Wednesday taking us for Bike Safety and on Thursday we have St Johns coming to teach us First Aide.

Term 1 Week 5

The children have been creating fotobabbles this week for their individual blogs about our new school logo.  Be sure to check out their blogs to hear how they describe what it means.

It was great to have our LMV Athletics on Wednesday.  Everyone participated so well and hopefully we have a few children qualify for the Southland Athletics.

Now that athletics is finished we will begin swimming with our REAP instructors week 8 and will be swimming everyday for two weeks.  This is a great opportunity for the children to further their swimming skills.

Term 1 Week 4

This week we celebrated some of our art work at Celebration Time.  These were our Identity Grids that were visual representations about ourselves.

Our MVP at Celebration Time was Chloe who always demonstrates our school value of Respect.

Arden received a certificate for his great learning and Jacob received the Spirit of a Nation certificate.

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.

Week Seven Term Four

Wow things are really starting to get busy for the end of year.

We have begun our concert practice and it is great to have costumes starting to come to school.  The theme this year is Animal Kingdom.

It has been wonderful having Mrs Pollard and Mrs Knapp help out with swimming.  Everyone is making great progress with some children reaching or passing their expectation for their year level.

We have been making paper mache insects as part of our inquiry on Minibeasts.  The children had to choose an insect and then using paper mache create their chosen insect.

The children have created a fotobabble on their own blogs about their insects.

Only TWO weeks left of the school year!
