First Week in Room 7

We've had a great first week back at school. We have been reading about Waitangi Day, writing a short story about how it felt the night before school started, introduced ourself to the rest of the class by completeing a Pepeha, and on Friday afternoon we had the first "Discovery Time' for the year.
Some people chose to create things using modelling clay

Some people chose to paint

Some people chose to create a play using finger puppets

Some people chose to tell a story by making collage out of magazine pictures

Some people chose to play maths games using mini white-boards

"Discovery Time" was very successful and we will have it again later in the term.

Hello again Room 7!

I hope you are all having a happy Summer holiday everyone!

After an amazingly intense year of training and teaching as a reading recovery teacher, I'm back teaching in Room 7 from Monday 2nd February, 2015. I can't wait!

Reminders for the first day of school: Togs, towel, stationary and drink-bottle :-)

See you on the first day of school...

Mr Dobson.
