Term 4 Week 3 Update

This week the class room has had a spooky flavour to it. Below is a picture of Alannah, Amelia, Brooke, Coco, Lexie, Niamh, and Ruby dressed for Trick or Treating on Thursday. The disco on Friday also had a Halloween theme and there are some great pictures up on the school Facebook page.

Click on the picture below to read and listen to a poem called "The Spider and the Fly" and then check out our spider poems and glitter webs in the classroom.

Congratulations to Amelia, Lily and Nick who were awarded certificates at the Year 2 assembly on Friday. Keep up the great work. Hasini and Vianca performed a dance for Diwali at assembly and the video clip of this will be on the blog shortly.

Great readers this week were Noah and Ruby. Well done on attaining your 175 nights stickers.

Term 4 Week 2 update

Congratulations to Ella and Niamh who received certificates at assembly on Friday. We are proud of you girls.

Vianca also received a sticker in her reading log this week - keep up the great reading Vianca.

Ruby and Holly both did some great writing this week and you can read this by clicking on the writing tab at the top of this page. I loved the way they used interesting words, included lots of details and you could hear their personality in their work. Well done girls - we are very impressed.

For homework last week the children wrote math stories about mythical creatures. You can find these on the math tab at the top of this page. Can you work out the answers?

Our paparazzi Riley has been very busy this week and has taken some great photos for our blog. Well done Riley.

Term 3 Week 6

Another busy week in Room 19 and lots to celebrate.

At the Celebration Assembly on Monday we were treated to a performance by the kapa haka team - what an outstanding group we have at St Albans. Thomas received a certificate and prize for being one of the top fund raisers in the recent Maths-a-thon. Great work Thomas. Thank you to everyone who helped the children practise and get sponsors, we are looking forward to getting some more math equipment in the classrooms. If your sheet is still outstanding or you have lost it, please let the office know.

On Tuesday we listened to some great poetry. Well done to Holly, Noah and Brooke M who represented our class in the Year One and Two Poetry competition. We were very proud of you and think you did an awesome job. Congratulations to Eve, Riley B (Room 16) and Isabelle (Room 18) who came 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Congratulations to Rosa, Ruby, Shiako, Riley, Vianca, Amelia, Noah, Holly and Matthias for their wonderful reading and gaining stickers in their log books.

Shiako was our paparazzi this week and he took these terrific photos for our blog.

Big Day Out at Clip 'n' Climb

What an awesome afternoon we had at Clip ' n' Climb this afternoon. Thank you very much to all our parent helpers who came along and helped; we would not have been able to get so much climbing in without our help checking harnesses and belay attachments.

Some reflections on our Big Day Out;

Holly - I went up the walls lots of times.
Neo - I tried three times on the rope and ball wall to complete it.
Nick - I was proud when I got into the hole in the rock wall.
Lily - It was hard but I managed to do the dark chimneys.
Ella - Today I tried my best to get right up to the top of the coloured square wall.
Thomas K - I was pleased that I climbed to the top of the timed wall and pushed the button.
