Goodbye 2017!

One last post for those of you that follow our blog!
At the end of term we had our final assembly where we acknowledge those students who have demonstrated and lived the Stanley Avenue Learner Dimensions , and those who have achieved academic success.
The recipients this year from Room 5 : Sharon, Xavier and Seb. Each one of these students turns up to school organised and ready to learn, gives it their all and supports their classroom members. I have been very proud of things they have achieved and wish them all the best for next year.

Some Room 5 students will be moving on to Room 6 next year, these students have been notified, had a visit with Mrs Trebes and also have the 2018 stationery list sent home. If you have misplaced the stationery list, it can be found on our website.

Enjoy the holidays with your whanāu, stay safe  and we will see you in the new year!

Pools trip & last minute notices

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all of the parents who came and helped with our end of year picnic - the kids had a blast! Sorry I haven't got any pictures to put up - I left my device at school!

Please remember to check the 2018 class lists that are posted on Mr Byers office window. Stationary lists have been sent out already.

Book bags , left over books etc will be passed on to the next class teacher, hats will be sent home so they can be washed - but will be needed first day back in 2018.

Thursday is our end of year certificate assembly. This starts at 9.30am in the Rec Centre and goes until 11. After this will be morning tea as usual and then furniture will be moved from the classrooms that are changing locations.

It is a very busy time of year, if you have any questions please come and see me.

Thanks!

Hands on learning.

In Room 5 I try to mix up our learning activities to keep students engaged and enthusiastic about school and learning. This week , as you would have seen from the newsletter , we dressed up, blew bubbles, created in the sandpit and drew on the concrete.
Trying to blow bubbles with items from the classroom was a big hit, and it made for some great story writing.
Here is a short clip of everyone in action - including a couple of big kids we had for the day  from Room 9.

How we learn our ABC.

Today during reading time students in Room 5 work on 'tumble' activities. These are individual activities that students can work on ,mostly, by themselves.
Today it was such a nice day outside, we decided to try having an activity out of the room. We got out the chalk and were practising how to write our letters and names out on the concrete.
