Term 2

We hope everyone has had a nice and restful break. We have a CARE assembly at 9 am to introduce the new CARE focus for the next few week which will be Being Responsible when you hear the Bell. Our topic this term is Caring and being Responsible for the Earth's living things, this includes a field trip to the beach. For Room 12, Chapter Chat also starts tomorrow with our new novel The Wild Robot Escapes. Parents, keep a lookout on Seesaw for more wonderful art from your child!

We are looking forward to getting Term 2 under way!

Room 12 at the Art Gallery

On Wednesday morning we travelled into the Christchurch Art Gallery. The children got a chance to have a quick look around then they got to draw a self portrait and create their own art gallery to take with them. The focus of the visit was identity.

Check out your child's Seesaw blog for their video and views of the trip.

Rylley's Birthday Cake

 Rylley's birthday was on Friday and his mum bought in a delicious chocolate and caramel cake, with toy diggers on it. We sang him Happy Birthday and he blew out his candles. Rylley handed out a piece of cake to all of the class and some of the teachers. We were very lucky!

Rm 12 Get New Zealand Writing

We got our return postcards from the "Shooting Stars" at Horotiu School in the Waikato on Friday! We were really excited to read the wonderful similes and metaphors from our buddy class.  The photo is what their postcard puzzle looks like. 

This week (Week 11) we are going to send room "Shooting Stars" a flipgrid saying thank you and give them a little bit more information about themselves. We also have our trip to the Art Gallery on Wednesday morning, the trip is $2 and can be paid to Penny in the office as late at Wednesday morning.  Any child remaining behind will work in Room 11 while we are away.

Watch out this week for our video blogs on our Seesaw accounts about our successful term 1!
