Kiwi Swim Safety session

On Monday we were lucky enough to have Wendy from Kiwi Swim Safe come to Stanley Avenue and work with each class.

Wendy showed Rooms 5 & 6 some great songs with actions to get them used to the water and to show students it was ok to put our heads under.

Some of the songs were "The Wheels on the bus, This is the way we wash our face and Ring a Rosie". 

Here is a short clip of Wendy working with our swimmers.

I'm Good, by The Mowgli's

This is a new song that Room 5 have been learning. The chorus is easy to learn. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Fabulous February Foyer Display!!

Check out our amazing group of artists and their first piece of artwork! This term we are focusing on what makes us unique and powerful. We know that each of us is different, and that's ok - it is what makes us who we are! 

Students in Room 5 with guidance from Mrs Prattley, coloured and decorated this amazing underwater scene. Each student was in charge of decorating their fish and making sure they tried their best to present a quality piece of work that reflected who they are.

If you haven't seen this, pop in to the office and have a look - it's worth the trip!

A special thanks from me (Miss Williams) to Mrs Prattley and Kathy for their amazing work with the students of Room 5 and helping the plan come together while I was away.

Hello Term 1!

 Welcome back Room 5!

We have already had such a busy two weeks! We have started reading and are excited to be taking books home and sharing them with our whanau, and we are all swimming everyday! 

Last week we worked on our foyer display item where we all got to help decorate and colour the letters and our very own fish. When you have a moment ,pop in to the office and check out our work.

We have 11 smiley faces in Room 5 and I am happy to report that they are all settling in and working together well. 

Today we created our class treaty and talked about rules that we think we need in Room 5. Stay tuned to see the display we will have up in Room 5.

Have a great week!
