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.
We had a lovely French breakfast in the intermediate for Madam Palmer who officially leaves her teaching role today to be our new full time deputy principal. Madam Palmer speaks French and teaches French in the intermediate, (and still will) so it was a great way to say thank you.
Congratulations Nadia for passing your first taekwando grading and moving up to a yellow stripe belt. Wow you had to break the board with a punch. We know Vanessa and Julian are in the same class. That is so cool. Well done.
Thursdays are special because we get out the free writing prompt cards and we are allowed to write about anything we want.
In year 1 the children have all been here for such different amounts of time. Some children have only just arrived so we are helping them to get started with their writing. Other children are well on their way and have goals such as editing work, adding wow words and writing 3 or more sentences by themselves.
Alexandra had sooooo many wow words today it was amazing!!!!!
Vanessa is 6 today. Happy birthday Vanessa. We are so lucky as Vanessa has bought us all in the most beautiful cupcakes. Thank you so much! We can’t wait to have one at morning tea time.
Please bring in your yellow forms and money to Room 5 when you can. Thank you. Remember you can do an internet bank transfer into the school account, (details are on our school website), and make a note on your yellow form if you prefer. No problem if it is cash though, we have a money bag we take it to the office in each morning.
Those children who took part in the Wednesday soccer sessions have done really well. Some have gone every Wednesday, some have missed a couple, some have loved it and some not so much. We walked down together though for the last session of term 2.
We have 3 super star boys today and William is my Super Teacher Helper. Boy power today.
Nadia and Stella did a BIG teacher job for Mrs Brown and returned a fleecy to an intermediate student. They went to the intermediate all by themselves. Well done ladies.
We went down to the bottom playground after reading and had a little sneaky play as a treat. It is the end of the term and we made it.
