Kohia Terrace School. Year 1. The life of 5 year olds. We want to invite parents and family into our classroom. Come and watch our adventures and learn about what we are learning. So when the children come home and you ask, "What did you do today?", the children will never be able to say, "nothing" ever again…our days are busy and learning constant. We love sharing our special first year of school life with you.
Welcome Eloise and Helena to Room 5. You join Phoebe who started last week and we have Eriko joining us shortly also. We will be welcoming another 4 boys into Room 5 a little bit later. Straight into writing this morning and everyone was amazing. Well done. Proud teacher!
Our Rainbow Fish are up! They look gorgeous.
Our school community event – The Colour Run, celebrating the Holi Festival.
Such beautiful little faces! A lovely way to spend a Friday night.
We did lots and lots of number work this week. As well as working with the teacher we are learning how to do some maths activities independently so next time small groups can go and do them by themselves to reinforce learning. In year 1 we have children who have been at school for more than 6 months and other children who have been here only days or weeks, so we all work at different levels because some children have been at school for longer.
We have new iPads in Room 5 now. We teach the children that these are learning devices and they need to take turns doing learning activities independently on them while I am teaching small groups during literacy and maths. We do have a timed system.
