Our Room 5 Adventures

Finn and I got gorgeous cards from Stella this morning. What a wonderful way to start Friday. Thank you. ❤️

Children are all so different and this reading wheel guide is just one of the tools we use to assess children’s progress.  In New Zealand we have a huge range of abilities in a classroom and teachers are use to teaching at the level children are working at.  It is nothing to stress about, learning is a long journey and every child is different.

We tried something new today.  We haven’t done a word search/word find activity before.

We did some Cosmic Kids Yoga this morning.

This clip is so beautiful.  It gave me an idea. We are hosting the school assembly in Term 3.  I thought it would be amazing if we learn how to sing and sign this song to perform.  Little Room 5 will need to practise from now though…

The clip is called 50 Mums, 50 Kids, 1 Extra Chromosome and it is on You Tube raising awareness of Down Syndrome. I think it is beautiful.

What beautiful writing.  Isn’t it amazing!  Clever clever year 1 authors made this story together.

Come and read our new fabulous Autumn  poems – they are up in the classroom. A huge thank you to Alexandra who brought in a gorgeous poetry book from home about the seasons.

Thanks Eloise for donating a copy of ‘Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls’ to Room 5!  That is so kind of you and your family!  Can’t wait to read lots of different stories from it!

We do lots of different things for lots of different children.  This group of ladies write on the laptop every Tuesday afternoon and publish a book together with Lisa.  It is wonderful to see their use of language and story telling flourish.  How fun writing together on the friendship chair too!
