Our Room 5 Adventures

Catherine is so helpful.  She is always offering to do things to help out around the classroom.  Catherine has given herself the official role of being my Chinese interpreter.  When new friends come to our class, Catherine offers to translate whatever I am saying, (no matter where our new friends are from).  So gorgeous!

What wonderful books on space!  Thank you Finn and Scarlett for thinking of us and sharing some great resources on our topic this term.

We have a strong ESOL programme at school – supporting children who are learning English as a second language.  Children have to be at school for 6 months before they officially qualify for the extra funded support.  However at a well resourced school like ours, we get lots of opportunities to support our little friends.  Catherine and Tselmeg got some booster sessions today with Alba.

Number work, number work, number work.  In year 1 knowing our numbers is a HUGE part of what we do.

 

We are learning all about space and planets this term!  We wrote about space today.

While we are working away in the classroom, the intermediate children are busy at camp in Matamata.  So far I understand Olivia has had lessons in gocart driving around tracks, shooting and abseiling.  Sounds like everyone is having a wonderful time. It is the longest camp we do here at Kohia Terrace School – the intermediate children are away for five days.  The house is really quiet without Olivia, but sounds like they are all having a fabulous time.  Things to come for your little people!

You can see more photos of what the children are up to by linking through to our school intermediate website, click below.

Miss K will be coming every Tuesday to teach us Te Reo.  So exciting!
