In Pod 1 we are kind to each other

Remi and Millie have both displayed acts of kindness so they are gluing a shimmering scale onto our Pod 1 fish.

Week 9 fun!

What a busy week we have had. On Monday and Tuesday children from both classes had fun exploring magnets. Click on the "Explore" link on the right hand side to see some photos.

Well done to all the children who have earned a medal over the past few weeks. Here are the children who received awards this Friday.

On Thursday we had 2 very cute visitors to our classrooms - Salt and Pepper the rabbits. Here are Room 4 enjoying cuddles:

Well done wonderful workers!

Measuring in Maths

The children in Rooms 3 and 4 have been busy measuring length and height. Here are Room 4 children measuring and comparing the length of their feet.

Week 3 in Pod 1

Every Tuesday the children in Pod 1 take part in Te Reo Maori with Whaea MaryAnn. It is so much fun!

On Friday we came to school with Crazy Hair and dressed in our tribe colours to raise money for Kids Can. Don't we look fabulous!

Term 3 Welcome

This term we welcome 17 new pupils to Pod 1. They are based in Room 3 with Andrena (Mondays - Thursdays) and Jen (Fridays).
Our main theme for this term is People Who Help Us. We have set up a Doctor's Surgery in our Imagine Area, as well as a Little Shop, to encourage imaginative role play around this theme. We will also be investigating "How Things Move" in science and exploring measurement in maths.

Here are a few pictures of Room 4 visiting the library on Friday. Our very helpful librarian, Melissa, read the children a story and organised a special visit from Wendy's dog, Princess.

Using materials in maths

Last week we had fun using kinetic sand and Numicon equipment to help us count and add.
