Domain Walk photostory

We had a great time playing tee bball with Angela. She taught us how to pass and catch. We had fun playing games to practise the skills we learnt.

One lovely Spring day Room 4, Miss Rooney and Hayden went for a walk to the domain to see the spring flowers and the blossom. We had a great time "hugging trees". We also saw the very noisy birds at the aviary.

Bradyn,Rosaria and Lucy had a great day at the Year 1/2 Tournament that Jenny organised.
Here are their comments:
Bradyn-Yesterday I went to athletics and I liked rugby.
Lucy-Yesterday we went to the Year 2 tournament with Jenny. I was in team 1. My favourite sport was the obstacle course. It was fun and cool.
Rosaria-Yesterday I went to athletics. My favourite thing I did was the obstacle course. We did rugby and we played "stuck in the mud". We did football,netball and hockey.
Lucy and Rosaria spoke about this at assembly.

In Room 4 we have been doing artwork in our classroom. We did ruler rubbings which looked easy but it was not!
We went to the Art Gallery on Thursday and saw our Mihis.
We went to Kahurangi on Friday and we did dancing,rakau sticks and poi. I liked poi(Denise Mae) and I liked rakau sticks(Shylah).

Hello and we have some fantastic holiday stories to sharfe with you! We have used some really good adjectives!

Welcome back to Term 3! We have another busy term planned! Here we are as a whole class! A little bit different from the beginning of the year with our earthquake children coming and going! Carl and Bradyn have joined us and have settled into St Joseph's well and Room 4!

Rochelle from St Johns talked to us about first aid and the importance of only ringing 111 in a real emergency.

St Joseph's celebrated Multi-cultural day with children dressing in their national costume. Everyone looked great and we all enjoyed admiring the special cultural dress!

Room 8 helped us read cooperatively together! They were great role models and we really enjoyed working with them! Thank you Room 8!

Our whole school watched a special show reinforcing St Joseph's virtues and values!

Our school really enjoyed watching the "Mary Mac Killop" play. It was very interesting and the actors were funny!

Circle of Life

Here are some photos of our swan plants, eggs, caterpillars, chyrsallis and butterflies. This "Circle of Life" happened in our classroom and we were able to see the different stages! Lucy, Amelia and Molly were able to draw the most accurate life cycle!

Our Learner's Quality we have been focusing on this term has been being a good self manager! We brainstormed our ideas and came up with some great points which we have recordered for us all to refer to!

Here are some great examples of what a good self manager looks like!

Last week we had our swim week. It was a very tiring but enjoyable week. Here are some of us having a great time learning to swim.

We have been writing about butterflies by describing our butterflies we coloured in. Describing words are called "Adjectives". Adjectives make our writing more interesting to the reader.

Hello!

The Junior Syndicate's topic this term has been focusing on "Circle of Life". Room 4 has been doing "Caterpillar Art" where we painted our paper two different colours and then made our circle shapes from a cardboard template. We then cut these out ourselves and pasted them in the shape of a caterpillar! Here are some examples. Aren't they great?
