Learning The Days of The Week

As part of out time learning, we have been learning the days of the week.  Miss Collins taught us a song off You Tube called Days Of The Week.   

We love singing this song and often find ourselves singing it to ourselves during the day.  It is helping us to learn the days of the week.

Week Two Of Swimming Lessons

This week we have continued with our swimming lessons.  The children have become very confident in the water and are enjoying being a learner in the pool.  We have written some wonderful stories about swimming.  These are in our published writing books and the children would love to share these with their whanau.

ANZAC Poppies

On Saturday it is ANZAC Day.  We are having a special assembly on Friday to remember all of the soldiers who died at war.  This year it is 100 years since World War 1.  Our school has pretend graves to remind us of the soldiers who died.  Our class watched a video clip of the Dawn Parade that happens each year.  Then we made poppies for out assembly.  Here are some photos of us making our poppies.

A Funny Swimming Poem...

Here is a wee poem to get you ready for swimming and to have a giggle about... 

Click on the picture or the title and you can hear the poet read this poem aloud.  

Swimming Ool Swimming in the swimming pool is where I like to "B," wearing underwater goggles so that I can "C." Yesterday, before I swam, I drank a cup of "T." Now the pool is just an "ool" because I took a "P." --Kenn Nesbitt
