This week saw a visit from the public library at lunch time. They showed Room 6 and Room 7 their mobile library and what it can do! This was an amazing event and something which the children thoroughly enjoyed. After going through their mobile library, Room 6 and Room 7 were lucky enough to have some very special picture books read to us!
In writing this week Room 6 and Room 7 continued our focus on descriptive writing. Rather than focusing on the same characters we began to look at the the character of Dory from 'Finding Nemo'. We were able to use our writing skills to explain what Dory looked like, what her characteristics were, and what her actions were.
Having focused closely in maths during the first few weeks on Statistics, Room 6 and Room 7 began this week to move into our full maths program and have started to look at number which includes basic facts, number strategies, and number identification. Next week will see the two classes properly interchanging and honing in on the specific needs of each group.
Finally, the week ended on a high note with the students participating in physical education through their participation in 'run, jump, and throw' activities.
Hope Week 3 has seen you all well!
Nga mihi,
Nicholas Shimasaki
