Counting

On Friday we were practicing our counting with magnetic numbers and counters.

Then we used our ipads to take photos of our work.  

Kyra -Lee counted each one to check she had it right!
Ka pai te mahi, Kyra-Lee.

Checking out the Pukeko.

Today we sent a blog comment to our buddy class in the South Island.  We talked about where their school was and how it is close to where Mrs Shirley grew up.

We found out our buddy class is called Pukeko classroom.  We have lots of Pukeko at our school.
They play on our field and Mrs Flavelle in our office feeds them bread.

We went out to say hi to our Pukeko.

Welcome to Room 13

Welcome to Pt England school Kyra-Lee and Ashleigh.

It is so nice to have some new friends in Room 13.

We have 3 boys and 6 girls now.  That is 9 all together.

Learning through play

In room 13 we have a play space which we can use when we have finished our learning.

We have had so much fun constructing, role playing and using our imaginations. 

McKayla loves the dolls house                                                      Ema and Jay working together in the

Koru art

Today we made Koru to represent our special place.

The Koru is a symbol of new life and hope for the future.
We used the colours of red, black and white to represent the land, the sky and light.
Our koru come out of our maunga and awa.

We are very proud of our work.
Ka rawe!

Amazing learners in Week 6.

This week we moved to our new classroom, Room 13.  We have had a great time in our new space and we have done some amazing learning.

Outside our new classroom we display the some of the work we are especially proud of.
Whanau make sure you check it out next time you are at school.

The recipients of our certificates this week are Ema and Teveli.

Ema has settled into school really well.
She is learning to focus on her work and finish it off properly.
Ka pai to mahi, Ema.


Teveli has done really well in his first week at school and is trying really hard to learn all the new ways of doing things.
Well done Teveli.  Keep it up.

Learning our ABC - our class movie

Today we got to present our classroom movie to the school during PENN news time.
It was cool to see ourselves on the TV.  We hope you enjoy it.
