Jolly Phonics

Every day we do some Jolly Phonics learning!  This helps us to learn the sounds that letters make!

Today we learnt about the i sound. We are super luck to have two boys from room two join us for our learning each morning.

Here we are doing some follow up learning independently...

Bubbles!!!

This week we have a big book and a poem all about bubbles!

Mrs Butler got us some mega bubble wands and we blew bubbles outside!  We even wrote a story in our class story book about it!  If you have not seen our class story book you should pop in and have a read of it!

We had a lot of fun blowing bubbles!

Dinosaurs

We love Dinosaurs in Room 1!  Today Mrs Butler put out some Dinosaur books and Dinosaur toys!  We have made a dinosaur world and have been reading books on the iPad about the Dinosaurs!  We have been learning about different dinosaurs and how they died.

Our first few days

Wow we have had a busy few days at school!  We have been learning how to be Hinni Kids, learning about books and reading and also learning about numbers and writing.

Yesterday Kyle and Jaxon spent some time in the sandpit working together to build a sandpit.  They discovered that
- when you work together you can get things done faster
- working together is fun
- talking to each other helps
- taking turns is important

Today we decided to write a sentence about what they did in the sandpit!  You can come into our room and read our stories in our class writing book!  Soon we will be able to write our own stories in our own books, but for now we are writing together!

Kia Ora!

Kia Ora whanau!

Mrs Butlers Bright Sparks blog is back in action!

Blog Out of Action

Kia Ora to all of the blog followers.
Just to let you know that Mrs Butlers Bright Sparks will be out of action for a little while as I am taking the rest of the year off.

End of the Year

What a performance!  Well done tamariki on your exceptional performance at end of year assembly today!  I even had a few tears in my eyes after your item.  Boys I was amazed at your haka and girls your were true performers throughout!  I am so proud of all that you have achieved this year in Room 3.  You have shown respect for others, resilience when it has been tough and responsibility for yourself.  You should all be very proud!

I also want to thank students and parents for all of your kind cards and gifts.

Meri Kirihimete!

Mrs Butler
