Friday

Friday was another great day for kiwi class. Our lovely year 2s split up to join the juniors for discovery time, while our year 3s stayed with Mrs Brattle for recorders.

We had a different buddy reading as our buddies Kea were still on camp. 

We finished off our writing publishing and put them up on our wall.

Tora came back from the hospital without her cast, which was very exciting and Callum left early to go into Wellington for the cricket.

Assembly was particully great for us as we earnt class of the week and picked up the junior mathletics award. 

Our very own Sammie helped present at assembly, and Aimee gave an enviro group report. Rekai also told us about Tinni ball.

I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Thursday 19/2/15

First thing this morning we had our running for fitness, then we went swimming. During swimming we were working hard on our straight Arms and legs.

For reading we were using our reading eggs accounts, reading with the teacher, reading books and other fun things.

One group read about about growing pumpkins. After we had read the book we made a list of all the things needed to grow a good pumpkin. Then we went a visited the school pumpkins, after checking our list we decided that the pumpkin needed some more water, so we watered it.

Another group used the same book, but they were checking what made good compost, look at what they found.

We have been working hard with our writing and have started using the chrome books to publish our work.

In the afternoon we went out and had a game of tail tag!

What a great day we had.

2015 first week.

Welcome to the Kiwi Class blog for those joining us in 2015. This has been our first week at School and we have all made an amazing start to the year. We have started working on our Golden Rules for Kiwi Class. These rules will help guide us to make good choices and will encourage us all to work hard and to the best of our ability.

Here we are working in groups to draw and write helpful examples of how we will show the golden rules using our actions and behaviour.

Loads of collaboration.

Great teamwork

These are our Golden Rules

Golden rules

1. We are gentle - respect for physical safety
2. We are kind and helpful - respect for emotional safety.
3. We work hard - respect for work.
4. We look after property - respect for property.
5. We listen - respect for other peoples views.
6. We are honest - respect for honesty. 

As a reward to sticking to the Golden Rules and working hard Kiwi Class are having Golden time. Golden time is a 30 minute time when we can pick some fun activities to celebrate our success for the week. This week we choose to play in the sandpit, on the playground and obstacle course on the feild.

Golden time

Here we are working on our neighbourhood maps, we are going to use these to help us with our writing. Our maps are a place where we can draw our memories and experiences.

 To top off our short week, Kiwi class won the junior mathletics award. Keep up the hard work team, we have made a fantastic start.

Have a safe a happy long weekend.
