Starting School Party

In Room 1 this term we are expecting a lot more children to start school on their 5^th birthday. We had a party to welcome them, and their parents. They played party games and had party food. The senior A+ leaders prepared the food and organized the games, while their parents had some time to have morning tea with the staff.

The children were given a bag to take home with activities, games and books which will be useful while preparing the children for their next big step – starting school.

Book Week

Book Week was an amazing experience for all the children. We had some wonderful guests and special activities. These included a book fair, drop everything and read, teachers reading their favourite books to different classes, and a performance about the children's book awards. For the Dress-up day we had pirates, Aurora, Madeline, Bob, fairies and many other story book characters. Everyone used their imagination and looked fantastic.

Patrick is an A+ Learner

Patrick is reading his book called "The Bicycle". He is getting very good at looking at new words and getting his mouth ready for the first sound. Patrick likes this book because the bike gets squashed.

Pathfinders' Assembly

The Room 1 children welcomed everyone to assembly with songs in Maori, and then they all had turns to say "Hello" in languages from around the world. This is Lucy is making an announcement at our assembly.

Elan being Adventurous on the slide at Science Alive

Elan was adventurous when he went down the huge slide at Science Alive. It drops straight down but curves at the bottom so you don’t hurt yourself. He said it was amazing.

Scarecrow's Story

The Room 1 children made a scarecrow for the school vegetable garden. They had to work together to get the job done. When he lost his chair they used their green thinking hats to work out how to find it. Some children went looking for it. Some children wrote letters to all the classes. They all followed different pathways and eventually the chair was returned!

Kiwi Sport

Recently we had Kiwi Sports. Some Lincoln University students came and ran them at school. Our senior buddies helped them. Parachute games help us to work together to achieve our goals. We need to cooperate together. It was great fun.
