100 days at school!


Today we celebrated 100 days at school. It has been SO powerful for our learning about place value and groups of 10. We can all skip count in 10's and some of know there are 7 lots of 10 and 4 left over in the number 74! Each day for the past 100 school days we have placed a marble in the jar so it has been quite a journey. We had a great shared lunch to celebrate, along with a lollie scramble with 100 lollies! We also farewelled Marcus who is moving with his family to Christchurch. All the best Marcus. Reading books are coming home for the holidays on Friday along with a stationery list for replenishing our stocks. Have a great holiday. Certificates on Friday were Addisyn for knowing her phone number and address, Ethan for 100% in spelling, and Eliza for great counting on from the biggest number in maths. Great work!

Police Education

We had Mr Herrick come to our classroom and teach us some valuable lessons about keeping safe when we cross the road. Ask your child to tell you some of the messages they learnt. Add these words to our 'answer garden' below. It is a way to record the learning they can recall. The more the message is entered - the bigger the words become. We are also getting really good at knowing our name, address and phone number to use in case of emergency.Certificates at last weeks assembly were awarded to Sarah Hay for a fantastic start to her school days, and to Mitchell Gowers for great displays of Kotahitanga - 'getting along with his classmates' so well.
