About Us

Welcome to Room 1's Blog! We are a lively bunch of new entrants who are embarking on our lifelong learning journey at Hinuera School! Our class grows at different times of the year but we are starting off with three wonderful students! We love sharing our learning so check out all of the fun things we get up to as we transition from Early Childhood education to Primary!

Fuzzy and Nancy

Today we were lucky!  Olivia brought Fuzzy and Nancy to school for the day!

We read some Guinea Pig books and learnt about Guinea Pigs.  Mrs Butler was a little bit scared about having to get the Guinea Pigs out of their room!  When she got them out we all got to have a pat.

Sometimes they made squeaking noises and we tried to be as quiet as we could so we would not scare them!

We wrote stories about them and drew pictures of them which we also labelled.

Here is a picture of Olivia with Fuzzy!


Here are some of our writing!
Here is a Guinea Pig - Olivia
Guinea Pigs are scared.  They are soft.  Guinea Pigs like to eat grass.  My one likes to eat grass and straw.  Guinea Pigs live in a cage.  - Alexis
Baby Guinea Pigs dont like to play chase and they have teeth and they eat apples and they are colourful.  - Hayley
Guinea Pigs have cute little legs and a cute little nose and a cute little body and no tail.  They like to eat pallets and also rabbits eat pallets too. - Thomas

We have also been learning about patterns this week!  Mrs Butler will try to load some pictures next week!

It has been a busy week one!

Holidays

I hope you all have had a lovely holiday!  I am looking forward to hearing all about it on Monday!
I went to Whangamata in the first week of the holidays!  We had one nice day where we went for a lovely walk along the beach...


The rest of the time it poured with rain!  It was horrible!  We stayed inside and watched movies next to the fire!  I also read a few books which was relaxing for me!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all on Monday!

PJ and Movie Day

On our last day of school, room 2 and room 3 had a PJ and Movie day.  We all wore our PJ's and watched Frozen together.

We had a blast!  Mrs Butler only managed to get one photo on the day...




Madison and Mrs Butler were twins!

Firewise

Over the last few weeks the Junior School have been learning about being firewise.

Yesterday we had two firemen come and teach us some more about being firewise.  They also brought an inflatable house with them that filled with smoke and we had to get down, get low and get out fast!

It was fun practicing what to do if there was a fire in our house.

Here are some pictures of us learning about being firewise...
