Room 11's Mice

This week we have been learning about the letter Mm.  Today we made pet mice.

Our Number of the week

Our number of the week is the number 3.  Here is a song we found which shares why the number three is so important.

Some more photos from our Kindy visit

Star Writer

Today Kilifi surprised us with his writing.  He was able to hear and write a lot of the words and sounds he needed by himself!  Well done Kilifi I love surprises like these!

A visit to Homai Kindy

Today we also had a visit to Homai Kindy.
It was great to see some of our old friends and to meet the children who would be coming to Room 11 soon.
Thank you for inviting us.
We can't wait to see you all again soon.

Athletics Day

This morning we had athletics at school.  We had a race from one end of the field to the other.  We ran as fast as we could!
Congratulations to Riley and Kilifi who made it through the finals for 5 year old boys.

Star Writer

Today Apeta wrote her story all by herself.  She knew where to find hard words like 'park' and 'with'!

Apeta you are becoming the best writer in Room 11!  I am so Proud of you!

Star Writer

Our Star writer for Monday was Apeta.  She was able to write most of the words she needed by herself and hear the main sounds in the one word she couldn't write.  Great work Apeta!

Star writers!

On Monday when Jay started school he couldn't write his name.  Today he wrote his name all by himself!  Wow, what a clever boy!

Kilifi was working hard to write all the sounds he could hear in his writing.  He wrote about the mum and dad in Frozen.

Lion lollipops

Today we made lion lollipops.  When we finished we read them a story.  They were really good at listening.

Today we were learning to notice how many spots were on the tens frame cards without counting.
We were looking at the patterns and we were noticing the empty spaces.
Here is a video for us to use to practice.

Star Writers

Today Mylene and Lilly did amazing writing.  They were able to write most of their words without help and they were able to write the sounds they heard in their tricky words.

Letter of the week.

Our Letter of the week is the letter Ll.

Here is one of the songs we have enjoyed.

What words can you think of that begin with the letter Ll?

Congratulations to Joshua who was our star writer on Tuesday.  He was able to hear a lot of sounds while working with Mrs Nathan and he is trying really hard to write his letters correctly.

Keep it up Joshua!

Friday's Super Writers.

Today's star writers are Kiara and Lilly.  They drew wonderful pictures of their dad and wrote about Father's day on Sunday.

Today Mylene and Te Amomai showed Mrs Dawson their writing about the bouncy castle.
They are both really good at hearing the sounds they need and looking for words around the room.
Keep it up girls!

Bouncy Castle!

Today Choice Kids brought their bouncy castle for us to have a play on.  We had a lot of fun.
Thank you Choice Kids!

On Monday Jethro took his writing to Mrs Dawson to share.  He was able to hear a lot of the sounds he needed while he was working with Mrs Nathan.  He is learning to listen and write the sounds he hears while he is working by himself too.  Great work Jethro!
