Being Respectful, Responsible and a Learner: Congratulations to Brooklyn, Ruby, Cairo and Maia-Grace

Today we had Whanau Time in the Kakano Block instead of our usual whole school assembly due to the rain.  Room One and Three came together in the Learning Centre to talk about our PB4L focus for the week.   

Our PB4L focus for this week is Be Respectful: ‘Look after the environment and equipment’

This week Brooklyn and Ruby received the Principal's Award for Being A Learner.

Maia-Grace and Cairo-Capri received the award for 'Caught Being Good'.

It was lovely that Ruby's Dad joined us for Whanau Time.

Congratulations to our award winners for this week.  

Being A Learner: Super Mathlete Misty

This week Misty won the Super Mathlete trophy because she was the student in the Kakano Team who earned the most Mathletics points last week.  

Room One was also the top class in the team last week.  

Well done Room One and Misty!

BEING A LEARNER: Making patterns using pompoms and paint

For the last two weeks we have been working on patterns.  Miss Collins noticed on our school entry testing that many of us found reading and making patterns a little tricky.  So Miss Philp, Mrs Tizzard and Miss Collins planned some Math lessons around patterns to help us learn more about patterns.  

We have created patterns, looked at patterns and discussed what comes next, shared patterns and described to others how to make patterns.  Some our learning about patterns has even been artwork!  We are enjoying learning about patterns.   

We watched the Very Hungry Caterpillar on You Tube and then we make our own Hungry Caterpillar patterns using paint and pompoms.  It was lots of fun and it made us think!  

The pompom and paint ready to go!  

We had to dip the pompom in the paint carefully and think about what came next and where our pattern repeated itself.  

We made two caterpillars.  Miss Collins is going to put these on the wall once we have drawn legs on them.

Room One Spelling Superstars

These cool people got 100% in their weekly spelling test.  Miss Collins has started a ' Room One Super Star Spellers' wall on the window.  She writes up the names up in special window pens so everyone can see.  They also got to pick from the prize box.  

We look forward to more names next week! 

Well done Tredestiny, Cody and Mualijcia!
