Week Two - Swimming and the Principles Challenge

The last two weeks have been absolutely action packed!  The children have been making a huge effort with their swimming, and have made huge gains in their confidence and skills.  It was absolutely awesome to see so many friendly caregivers and whanau taking the time to come to Aqua Gym and support their tamariki!  

This weekend will provide a great opportunity for all Room 7 akonga to recuperate from the change in pace that swimming caused, and to get some well deserved rest.   

In week two we continued our focus on money during our strand maths time.  In their ability groups the students worked closely with me to further their knowledge of monetary identification, addition, and subtraction.  Although we have made a good amount of progress within the past two weeks, next week will also be committed to furthering this knowledge, as it is so important and transferable within the realm of mathematics.  

In literacy, the students have now completed their study of recounts (a style of writing where they are required to recount an event or story).  This culminated with the completion of a recount on the story 'Where the Wild Things Are'.  The students put in some hard work across the week and they have completed some very good pieces of work.  Week three will see Room 7 moving on to explanation writing and will involve the students completing activities and explaining the processes behind it.

Below are some photos from Aqua Gym this week:
