Term Three already!

On Monday we had four new students join Room 12.  They have made an excellent start to school already by having a go at new things and making new friends.

Katie and Levi
Harlow and Alexis
Otakaro have changed their Discovery Time to Monday afternoons now.  This is so we can do some writing based on Discovery Times.  Have a look at what we did during our first Discovery Time of the term. Discovery Time 21.7.14 on PhotoPeach


At writing time on Tuesday everyone was pleasantly surprised to find some photos glued into their writing books.  Instead of planning our writing by drawing, we got into our buzz groups and took turns at sharing our pictures with each other.  After this we wrote about what we did.




Adela enjoyed making a butterfly out of tissue paper.
I love how Adela is beginning to write more words by herself, leave finger spaces and write the first sound in tricky words.  

This is Katie's second day at school and she wrote two sentences!

Room 12 are learning about measuring length with Miss Gray on a Wednesday.  They measured the length of the classroom using 'bodies'.

How many bodies can you count?
