Koru Whanau Poetry Festival

Today was our Koru Whanau Poetry Festival. 

Three people from each class were chosen to recite their poems in front of parents and the Koru Whanau!

 Mrs Venville and Mrs Knofflock were the judges and we all sat and watched our friends perform.

 Matthew, Paris and Sophie did a super job reciting their poems from Room 9a. Mrs Burge was very proud.

 Vienna, Ben and Arianna also did a fantastic job reciting their poems from Room 9. Mrs Edmonds was very proud.

Mrs Venville and Mrs Knofflock presented the certificates to the children.

 Look at those proud faces! Well done guys!

What an afternoon! Matthew, Paris, Sophie, Vienna, Ben and Arianna did Room 9 and 9a proud!

Reading

In Reading, we have been learning to use our fingers to show letters, words, first sounds and last sounds.

 Olive could find the first sound - 'r' for 'reading' and show Mrs Burge with her fingers.

Kate, could use her fingers to find the word 'am'.

Sophie, could use her fingers to show the final (last) sound 'g' in the work 'riding'. 

We enjoyed reading some of the books we have already read with Mrs Burge and our families from our book boxes too. 

Reading is fun!

Amazing Maths

We LOVE numbers in Room 9!

We were able to read the numbers 0-5.

We ordered the numbers to make a human numberline.

Mrs Burge showed us a number up to 5 and we had to get the right number of counters.

We are so clever that we could count on and back from 0-10!

We matched the number on the frog to the correct number of spots on the lilypads!

Numbers, Numbers Everywhere!

Room 9 visitors

Mrs Burge and Mrs Edmonds are very excited to start up our class on Monday.

We had Ethan, Kate, Eric, Sophie, Tai and Alexander come for a visit on Friday. 

Ethan and Sophie enjoyed playing in the home corner. 

Kate liked the colouring books.

Sophie, Alexander, Eric and Tai had fun on the junior playground.

We can't wait to see you all ready for school on Monday morning.
