Draw and describe whats behind the door.

Snorkelling practise

Today we got to practise snorkelling in preparation for our trip to Pouawa, the marine reserve. We did pretty well!

ICT Task- Week 3

This week your ICT task is to create your own logo. This logo will act as your name tag for your desk and for your hook for your bag.
Here is my example:

I am looking forward to seeing your creations! 

Pen pals

We are going to have some pen pals! They are from Palmerston North. We have just written our very first letter. Here some examples of some great letters, written by Bray and Amy.

Well done Puriri! We got the very first Tidy Kiwi award for 2013!

Waitangi Day

I was busy today getting school things organised so I didn't have much of a holiday... But it was nice to have a sleep in!

What did you get up to? Comment below!

Commenting Practise

We are learning about how to comment on a blog post.

Show that you can correctly comment by answering this question:

What is your favourite food?

Study Ladder

Today we all had a go at logging on to our very own account on Study Ladder. Your child will probably have bought home a small slip of paper with their log on details. I will send a laminated card home once they are more familiar with the website.

Study Ladder is a great way to reinforce learning and it is very beneficial as the teacher as I am able to track what each child has done and what their strengths and needs are. Please encourage your child to go on to Study Ladder regularly. I will be setting custom 'tasks' for students at your request.

The link to Study Ladder can be found on the right hand side of this blog under 'Websites for Learning'.

Hands on Homework- Week 2

We are very lucky this week and we get Wednesday off school to celebrate Waitangi Day. But what is Waitangi Day? 

This week your task is to find out what Waitangi Day is all about. You may like to talk to your parents, grandparents or neighbours. You could do some research on the internet or in the library. 

You can present your information in a poster or you can just share with the class on Friday.

Cool Myspace Generators

What makes a successful classroom?

Today we brainstormed what we thought made a successful classroom.
We put all of our ideas into 'wordle' so that the most important ideas are bigger.

We have used the most important words to form our class guidelines. They are:
- We will co-operate
- We will share
- We will 'be the best we can be'
- We will be helpful
- We will listen

Hands on Homework!

Your very first 'Hands on Homework' task is to find some photos of what you got up to over the summer holidays! These can either be digital or printed out. If you have a digital photo you can email it to: misswoolford2013@gmail.com or you can bring it in on a flash drive/memory stick.
This task is optional but it would be great if we could have lots and lots of photos!
